Hi,

I hope this is the right place to post this question. My apologies if it is not so. I'm trying to run IC610 on Centos 5.3 - 32bit version. When I start icfb, I get a bunch of errors like below. Any idea what is going wrong and how to fix it?


Qt Warning: X Error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) 8

And this list continues.
Thanks

What version of IC are you using (type virtuoso -W in terminal)? The latest version is IC613.500.16 which just came out a day or two ago. I also get errors related to Qt, but not the same as you.

Do you see this as well?

Yes, if you try with IC614, you'll get "command not found"!

In previous releases, we used to have lots of different executables for different combinations of capabilities. For example, in IC5141, there was icfb, icms, msfb, icca, icde, icds, layout, layoutPlus (and I'm sure more). In practice, the vast majority of users used "icfb" all the time, especially as the main benefit of having a smaller executable foot print really made insignificant difference on modern compute platforms. Having all these executables increased the amount of testing needed, for very little user benefit.

So in IC61X we moved to a new executable name "virtuoso". We also provided "icfb" which printed a warning (saying that icfb was going away, but then proceeded to launch virtuoso). In IC614, this compatibility script has finally been removed.

Regards,

Andrew.

icfb is no longer provided by Cadence, but many corporate CAD groups create a link from icfb to virtuoso or create a script named icfb that is used to run virtuoso.

In this way they minimize the impact on the end users and any existing scripts.

icfb used the old cadence proprietary database. virtuoso uses the open-access database.
