    Hi All,

    I have Cadence installed in Sun Fire server (solaris 10). I use IC
    5.10.41 IUS 82 and MMSIM 711.
    When I run simulation in Virtuoso Analog Design Environnement this
    message appear:

    *Error* Simulator executable 'spectre' cannot be located from the path
    $PATH
    Use SetShellEnvVar () call to correct your path in CIW

    Could you Help me please!

    Regards,

    Karim.

    Hi Karim,

    A wild guess is that you have <MMSIMinstDir>/tools/bin in your path, but the
    "tools" link is not present in your MMSIM installation (it just has the
    tools.sun4v directory). For most releases, this link gets added automatically,
    but that wasn't the case for MMSIM (it has now been fixed so that the link gets
    added for MMSIM releases too - at least from MMSIM72).

    So you may need to update your PATH to have <MMSIMinstDir>/tools.<platform>/bin
    or just add the symbolic link in manually.

    Otherwise, can you type "which spectre" in the UNIX terminal window before you
    start icfb? If it doesn't show up, your path is wrong...

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew,

    Thank you for your help. So, my problem is resolved by updating my
    PATH to have <MMSIMinstDir>/tools.<platform>/bin.

    Best Regards,

    Karim.
