VCS Environment Variables
Simulation Environment Variables
ERROR_WHEN_UNBOUNDTo run VCS, you need to set the
following basic environment variables:
$VCS_HOME
When you or someone at your site installed VCS, the installation
created a directory that we call the vcs_install_dir directory.
Set the $VCS_HOME environment variable to the path of the
vcs_install_dir directory. For example:
setenv VCS_HOME /u/net/eda_tools/vcs2005.06
PATH
On UNIX, set this environment variable to $VCS_HOME/bin. Add
the following directories to your PATH environment variable:
set path=($VCS_HOME/bin\
$VCS_HOME/‘$VCS_HOME/bin/vcs -platform‘/bin\
$path)
Also make sure the path environment variable is set to a bin
directory containing a make or gmake program.
LM_LICENSE_FILE
The definition can either be an absolute path name to a license
file or to a port on the license server. Separate the arguments in
this definition with colons. For example:
setenv LM_LICENSE_FILE 7182@serveroh:/u/net/server/
eda_tools/license.dat
