Hi All,First of all thanks to all of you geek guys for such good site. Its my first post and its regarding install procedure of EDA tools on centos 6 platform.

Q) Why centos 6:
Ans: Centos is open source operating system, which is exact image of Redhat. We can say its open source Redhat. For more info plz got to centos site. Even updates for Redhat and Centos are same. Centos get updates within 72 hours of Redhat.

So summery is why pay for Redhat, when we can have Free, updatable Redhat , that is Centos. you can do all Yum kind of stuff on Centos ( what we can do in Redhat). so in other words Centos is free Redhat

Redhat is one of most supported platform for all EDA tools , so i was able to install on latest Centos 6.

Q) Installing Cadence IC614 on Centos 6:
Ans: Yes we can gracefully install IC614 on Centos 6. Procedure is given below:

1) Install Centos 6 32-bit. I have not tried 64-bit

2) Please install centos 6 with all possible available packages, during installation procedure, so that it may save your efforts later. But even if we have not installed packages, we can install them later using yum command ( used for installing packages from online database of Redhat/Centos)

3) Update Centos 6 after installing. It will take some time. But its good to get latest packages.

4) Now install KSh package for centos 6. It is required for Cadence stuff to work. You can google "KSh rpm centos 6" and you will sources for required package. Download and install.

5) Now install libxp-1.0.0-15.1.el6.i686.rpm (search using google and install). Or if your machine is not i686, you can download other rpm for same libxp from internet.
To get architecture of your machine type :    uname -m
To get kernel Version for OS : uname -r
Install libxp rpm for your machine and Kernel.

6) Now from your Cadence IC614 installation CDROM , (A) copy Iscape...t.Z somewhere.
(B) Unzip Iscape... there
(C) Goto iscape/bin folder
(D) chmod 777 *    : this is done to change file permission for iscape.sh
(E)  ./iscape.sh    : Execute this command in iscape/bin folder. It will launch Iscape window.

Take care Cadence Stuff cannot be installed without iscape .

7) Now in iscape click on "Install from Local media" option

8) Now follow the instructions given in Attached pdf file " Cadence Install Getgliched " . In this take care, we don't need steps  1,2,3,4 . directly goto installing cadence part. You may also get this guide from typing this to google "getgliched cadence". file i have attached is a bit blurry, so you may use google to find this page.

9) Install and don't forget to configure, as shown in PDF.

10) Don't use environment file form pdf. It has some flaws. use my attached .bashrc file to edit yours .bashrc file.

11) copy license file somewhere. Change hostname in license file to your hostname ( most probably its localhost.localdomain ). Save license file.

12) After installation is over open your .bashrc file ( it should be present in your home directory, its a hidden file ). Open a new terminal and type : gedit .bashrc    to open this file. edit your file watching my file. Change paths in .bashrc to your paths.

13) If you are copying my .bashrc file to your place, don't forget to run dos2unix command on my file. Otherwise its always better to type paths to your .bashrc file. Don't forget to change license path to your modified license file

14) Now run patch as told . Its should be in your patch directory ( sfk and patch stuff). I hope you will be able to run that patch. If not please feel free to write back. I will try help you.

15) Don't forget to source changed .bashrc file
16) now type    cadence       press enter
17) now type vir                press entre ( its alias given for virtuoso in my .bashrc file, you may also type virtuoso, if alias is not defined in your .bashrc file )

17) Virtuoso launched

18) Take care Cadence virtuoso IC614 don't have spectre , so we need to install MMSIM ( It has spectre and many more )

19) Also IC614 don't have Assura with it ( It has Dracula, but not Assura)

20) I hope it will help you to install cadence IC614 on Centos 6. For 5-6 days i am going out. When i will comeback i will post install procedure for installing MMSIM, Calibre and maybe Assura. Till than bye
