Cadence IC610 Installation Guide on Ubuntu10.10

Before Installation

Please install these packages before installation.

sudo apt-get install libelf1
sudo apt-get install ksh
sudo apt-get install nscd
sudo apt-get install tcsh
sudo apt-get install csh
sudo apt-get install ureadahead

In order to prevent the lack of relevant library file, I installed all packages which name prefix is 'libelf' and 'libso' in "Synaptic". Meanwhile, be sure that sun-jdk has been installed in your system.

Download Installation Packages

Includes IC610 and MMSIM61

Base_IC610_lnx86_1of5.tar to Base_IC610_lnx86_5of5.tar

Base_MMSIM61_lnx86_1of2.tar and Base_MMSIM61_lnx86_2of2.tar

Extract the Installation Packages

Extract IC610 packages, there will be CDROM1...CDROM5. Besure that they are in the same folder, for example 'IC610_lnx86.Base'.You need to do the same thing for MMSIM61 packages.

Necessary Soft Links

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/awk /bin/awk
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so /usr/bin/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/firefox /usr/bin/netscape

Setup tmp folder

sudo mkdir /usr/tmp
sudo chown answer42 /usr/tmp  (replace the answer42 by your system login name, it is same in article later.)
sudo chmod 755 /usr/tmp

Downgrade The Tar Version

Download 'tar-1.13.tar.gz': Tar. Extract it. Then:

cd tar-1.13
sudo mkdir -pv /opt/usr/share/tar{bin,sbin}
./configure --prefix=/opt/usr/share/tar --bindir=/opt/usr/share/tar/bin --sbindir=/opt/usr/share/tar/sbin
make
sudo make install
sudo mv /bin/tar /bin/tar-1.23
sudo mv /usr/bin/tar /usr/bin/tar-1.23
ln -sv /opt/usr/share/tar/bin/tar /bin/tar
ln -sv /opt/usr/share/tar/bin/tar /usr/bin/tar

After all installation is complete. You need to revert to tar-1.23:

rm /opt/usr/tar
sudo mv /bin/tar-1.23 /bin/tar
sudo mv /usr/bin/tar-1.23 /usr/bin/tar
