Calibre Error: Enviroment variable MGC_HOME is not set

Hi, All:

When I loading Calibre at CIW command window, there is the error
message I got,
could you please tell me how to fix it? Thanks a lot!

load("/XXX/mentor/Calibre_ss/cur/lib/calibre.skl")

// Calibre Error: Enviroment variable MGC_HOME is not set. Calibre
skill Interface not loaded.

Boki.

 

Set a UNIX environment variable to your calibre installation path

for csh/tsch:

setenv MGC_HOME <calbre_inst_path>

e.g. for my environment
setenv MGC_HOME /asw/ment/ss6_cal_2002.5_16

for your I assume MGC_HOME is
/XXX/mentor/Calibre_ss/cur

By the way?!?!?
I can not find a file called 'calibre.skl' in the path
'$MGC_HOME/lib'
This directory contains only TCL and C libraries I guess.

The file 'calibre.skl' is located at
$MGC_HOME/shared/pkgs/icv/tools/queryskl
in my Calibre installation.


Because I'm now officially approved for good SKILL coding, I'm joking,
I suggest you to use the code below in your .cdsinit file to load the Calibre
SKILL GUI into the Cadence Design Framework, rather than just
load( strcat( getShellEnvVar("MGC_HOME") ".../calibre.skl" ), there are
conditions which catch your errors, most of them is out of the Mentor docs.

Regards Bernd
