Problem about installation of Design Compiler on Debian

[paladinws]

I want to install DC & PT (Synopsys.vU2003.03) on Debian.
But after installation, a error message occur (DCSH-1) when I typed dc_shell.
Surpiringly, I successfully boot up the pt_shell.

So, I think there maybe two reason for this problem:
1.I used Reiserfs other then EXT3
2.I used libc6.0(2.3.2) other then glibc 2.2.5

I need help, thanks in advance.

u have not mentioned the error message u have encountered.for older versions of red hat like red hat 7.2 8.0 if u use release 2003.06 it may complain of a glibc(glibc is too old in these red hat versions).for newer versions of redhat if u are running release 2003.06 u may not have nay problem.presently iam running synosys 2003.06 on rh 8.0 without any problems.although people may suggest different things about which os may be compatible ,it is a good idea to use the supported os.ur problem if its asociated with the bad gui problem.then use dc_shell first and then at the dc_shell prompt type start -gui.

My opinion.
1. File system does not matter.It's OS's job. Application does not care.
2. LIbraries are back compatible.It won't be bother if you use a newer library

3.So there must some other problem you have not mentioned here.

I have a problem when I start dc_shell on debian:
grep : /etc/redhat-release : not found

Should I set some variable?

try to copy or edit the file redhat-release and reinstall dc

 

[gliss]

As root try 'echo "Red Hat" > /etc/redhat-release"
That should also be a clue that you should be using a Hed Hat compatible OS: Red Hat, RHEL or Fedora
