Hello Ivan,

I am trying to use the NCSU FreePDK 45nm technology kit and the OSU
standard cell
library. I am trying this on a SPARC machine running Solaris.

I have setup the Pycell Studio Kit and I have checked that it is
working fine. After this I have setup the FreePDK45 kit

I have untarred the OSU_FreePDK_std_cells.tar and OSU_FreePDK_Tech.tar

sourced the customized i) cadence.freepdk.cshrc (which in turn calls
the customized FreePDK45/cdssetup/setup.csh)
ii) source FreePDK45/cdssetup/icoa_setup.csh
iii) and copied the plugin files ciranova quickstart folder to my
OpenAccess folder. (oa/data/plugins).

After this I invoke Virtuoso and I find from its log window that it
has loaded the FreePDK customization.

However, after this when I trying to view any nmos layouts in the
library NCSU_TechLib_FreePDK45 or the layout of any standard cells in
OSU std_cell lib by double clicking on the layout view I get the
following error:

ddMapGetFileViewType:You are trying to run a CDB executable on an OA
library file..
_deValidateViewType: viewtype is nil

Can you please help me in figuring out what I am doing wrong? Your
help will be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Koustav
