Spectre 6.0 in IC 5.1.41

Hello all,

I have both the MMSIM 6.0 package as well as IC 5.1.41 installed on our
server. The software is managed through the Cadence Stream Manager. When
starting Spectre on the shell I'm running Spectre 6.0, but when I try to
start Spectre from the analog artist the older version of Spectre
(5.1.41) gets started.

How can I change from Spectre 5.1.41 to 6.0 in the Analog Artist? Do I
have to change a variable? The PATH variable seems to be ok.

[ussmueller@cadence ~/cds_ibm7wl]$ which spectre
/opt/CDS/smLocal/Streams/lnx86/mmsim60--001/cdsbin/spectre



Thanks and best regards
Thomas Ussmueller

 

Hello Thomas,

I am using a bit of a kludge in my .cdsinit. I would like a better solution,
if there is one.
(setShellEnvVar (strcat "PATH=/path/to/MMSIM_600:" (getShellEnvVar PATH))

Cheers,
Satya

 

I ran into that a couple of years ago, and reported it as a bug..
what happens with SM is that it has a wrapper script for icfb that puts
the icfb path first in the path..
so you only have 4 choices..
* the hack mentioned already
* uninstall spectre from the 5.1.41 release
* edit the stream manager template provided by cadence so it doesn't
modify the path
* switch from Stream manager to "modules" (see
http://modules.sourceforge.net )
-- which is what the VCAD group at cadence uses internally.
