how to install cdsdoc

You may either install netscape or create a symbolic link from firefox to netscape.

install cdsdoc

this means that CDSDoc comes by default with any tool installaion ? ..

I do have Mozilla .. but what do u mean by "Symbolic" link ?

By the way .. I forgot to tell u that I get this error message when I try to open the help .. :
Observer: Error: Couldn't open X display

!!

cdsdoc mozilla

yes i did .. but nothing happened ..!

by the way .. where can I find the CDSDoc files under the installing directory ? .. I don't see a standalone directory called CDSDoc! .. I believe it might have not been installed or something !

+cadence +cdsdocs

su
password:
cd /usr/local/bin
ln -s /path/of/mozilla netscape

But I find the "search" function in cdsdoc does work with mozilla. With netscape, all woks fine.

by the way .. where can I find the CDSDoc files under the installing directory ? .. I don't see a standalone directory called CDSDoc! .. I believe it might have not been installed or something !

The directory name is "doc", not "CDSDoc".

cdssearch: search server not installed

by the way .. I tried to do 2 things to make sure that I'm running CDSDoc without a problem ..

First, I typed : which cdsdoc .. and it gave me the path to the cdsdoc of the IUS not Build-Gates (or SoC Encounter) ..
I do have both IUS installed and SoC Encounter .. how can I activate all cdsdocs ? .. or at least the one that I want now, which is BuildGates ?

Second, I typed : cdsdoc -test ..
and this gave me some errors concerning some java paths under the IUS installing directory and I'm fixing these things now ..

make cdsdoc use firefox

It doesn't matter which cdsdoc is used. Each time you run cdsdoc, the documents path for current environment will be added to the cdsdoc's setup file (a hidden file at your home directory). To activate all cdsdocs, you may edit the hidden file, or run cdsdoc, and change environment then run cdsdoc again.

what's the name of this hidden file ?

I finally managed to run cdsdoc command successfully and I got that cdsdoc applet containing a list of tools names .. unfrotunatly , when selecting any document (or link) from a tool, I get this error message :
cdssearch : server not installed.
!!
I went to the path where the cdssearch script is, and I found a line in the script doing a copy of some directory's complete contenta to some other place .. the first directory doesn't originally exist !

what should I do ?

cdsdoc firefox netscape

The hidden file (actually a file under a hidden directory) is ~/.cdsdoc/cdsdoc.ini. This is my "cdsdoc.ini"

DocDir1=/eda/cadence/assura30
DocDir0=/eda/cadence/ic5033
