VCS on Ubuntu (version 14.04 - "undefined reference" error)

[dnanar]

Hi,

I'm trying to install Synopsys VCS (MX) on an Ubuntu 64 bit server (version 14.04).

Once VCS is installed and bash variables (licence, PATH, VCS_HOME) has been set, when i try to compile a simple verilog test file i get:

$ vcs test.v -full64

I don't really understand why G++ cannot find the references, since they seem to be included in libsnpsmalloc.so:

$ nm -Ca libsnpsmalloc.so | grep snpsReallocFunc
0000000000005200 T snpsReallocFunc

Note that my g++ version is 4.8.4 but it doesn't seem to have much impact...

Did anyone run into the same problem please? Have a clue how to solve this?


Thanks!
