How to Obtain Red Hat Linux 7.2 GUI binaries for 2002.03-SP1 and 2002.05

Question:
Some of my Linux-based GUI software fatals under Red Hat Linux 7.x but run fine under Red Hat Linux 6.2. Where do I obtain 2002.03 and 2002.05 GUI executables that are compatible with Red Hat Linux 7.x?

Answer:
As of June 2002, $ynopsy$ MainWin-based GUI tools run under Red Hat Linux 6.2 only and are not compatible with Red Hat Linux 7.2. However, special versions of PrimeTime, TetraMAX, and Synthesis (BCView, Design Vision, Library Compiler, MemWrap) GUIs are available that will run under RedHat 7.2 only, but are not compatible with Red Hat 6.2. These special versions are available by EST only, and are not on CD-ROM.

To obtain these special 7.2-compatible binaries, download 2002.03-SP1-1 for PrimeTime or 2002.05-1 for TetraMAX or Synthesis. (If you still require GUI tools that will also run under Red Hat 6.2, then you will need to install these special binaries into a second, standalone tree.)

Instructions for downloading and installing these special binaries may be found below.


Notes:
QT-based GUIs such as 2002.05 Physical Compiler (psyn_gui) and 2002.03 Formality are already compatible with RedHat 7.2 and do not require special binaries.

Motif-based tools such as Design Analyzer also do not require special binaries.

The special binaries are also compatible with Red Hat Linux 7.1, but due to instability problems with this OS version, it is recommended that you use 7.2 instead. Also, Red Hat Linux 7.3 has not been tested with these binaries and is not supported.
Download instructions:
All products:

Start an ftp session to "ftp.$ynopsys.com"
eg. % ftp ftp.$ynopsys.com
- Enter "anonymous" as the login name.
- Enter your as the password.
- Type "binary" at ftp prompt to set the transfer mode to binary:
ftp> binary
- Follow the instructions below to cd to the correct product directory and
get the necessary files:

PrimeTime 2003.03-SP1-1 for Red Hat Linux 7.2:

ftp> cd pub/linux-2002-03-SP1-7-2.tar.gz [not an error]
ftp> get linux-2002-03-SP1-7-2.tar.gz

TMAX 2002.05-1 for Red Hat Linux 7.2:

ftp> cd pub/2002.05_TMAX_LINUX
ftp> get 2002.05_common.tar.gz
ftp> get 2002.05_linux.tar.gz

Synthesis 2002.05-01 for Red Hat Linux 7.2:

ftp> cd pub/syn_2002.05-1
ftp> get syn_2002.05-1_common.tar
ftp> get syn_2002.05-1_linux.tar


Note: The 2002.05-1 Release Note installation instructions are incorrect. Instead, use the installation instructions below.

Installation Instructions
PrimeTime 2003.03-SP1-1
In a temporary directory, uncompress linux-2002-03-SP1-7-2.tar.gz:
gzip -dc linux-2002-03-SP1-7-2.tar.gz | tar xf -


Execute install.now and follow the instructions

Install PrimeTime (pts) into a separate, standalone directory

When installation is complete, remove linux-2002-03-SP1-7-2.tar.gz

TetraMAX 2002.05-1
Create a standalone directory for TMAX

Copy both .gz files to the standalone directory

Uncompress the files:

Note: There is no install.now script for TMAX 2002.05-1


Remove the tar.gz source files. Installation is now complete.

Copy both .tar files to a temporary directory

Untar the files:

You only see the tools your company bought, not everything like before.

Maybe you do not have the Linux packge of SYN and search the files in the directionary "linux".
