auCdl netlisting from the command line

Hi,

Is it normal that "si -batch -command netlist" only executes
succesfully from a 32bit machine?
Running the same command on any 64bit machine gives this:
*Error* loadContext: could not open file -
".....<mypath>...../release2005/ic_v5.1.41/tools.hppa/dfII/etc/context/64bit/auCore.cxt"
The file 'si' is looking for doesn't exist in the installation path.

Has anyone ever seen this before?
Thanks,
Gerd

 

Try

setenv CDS_AUTO_64BIT NONE


Do you have a SourceLink account?

Aha! It works!

Thanks a lot.
Is this some variable that got in in more recent versions?

Gerd

 

No I think this variable exist at least since 4.4.6.

In fact, it would only be trying to run in 64 bit mode if the variable is
already set, or if -64 was passed on the command line - take a look
to see if it's set - I suspect somebody has set it to ALL or something
similar - no point using tools in 64 bit mode unless you absolutely need
the capacity.

In addition, google for "CDS_AUTO_64BIT" in comp.cad.cadence and you'll
my post earlier this month, titled "How to tell Cadence to use a 32-bit
or 64-bit executable?
- http://tinyurl.com/m7tow

That earlier post was an attempt at proactively providing users
background for what happens in the executable 32-bit/64-bit
decision-making process.

Good luck,
