Re: design compiler on LINUX
Hi,
Additionally if you are trying recent versions of DC use Synopsys installer. You can get it from EST. The script install.now is not avialable with recent versions of Synopsys tools. Otherthan just follow the steps in the installer.
Set either SNPSLMD_LICENSE_FILE or LM_LICENSE_FILE pointing to proper license file or server.
Add $DC_INSTALL_ROOT/linux/syn/bin to the PATH env variable.
For synthesis with DC, Solaris would be a better option(provided you have good hardware). For smaller designs Linux may be sufficient. Whereas for simulation Linux may be better when you consider hardware price/performance.
