Re: What does that error mean? How to fix it?

Hi Ahmad,

I've had a similar problem couple of years ago when moved a machine
from RH 7.2 to RH Entreprise Linux 3.0.
I think this was because the Redhat Version (kernel version) I was
using was not sup****ted by Cadence and the solution to make working at
this time is to set an env variable called LD_ASSUME_KERNEL to 2.4.1

So my first advice is to follow the same, it may help.
So before running Cadence, set up your Unix environment by adding :
CSH> setenv  LD_ASSUME_KERNEL 2.4.1
or
SH> LD_ASSUME_KERNEL="2.4.1" ; ex****t  LD_ASSUME_KERNEL

You can get your kernel version by using the following unix command :
UNIX> uname -r
==> 2.6.22.5-31-default (In my linux box). I would have tried
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL="2.6.2" in my case. Well give it a try and see how it
goes.

I'm very happy for you if this fixes your problem otherwise you need
more inverstigation and it's worth involve your Cadence sup****t for
it.

Anyway, I don't really like this LD_ASSUME_KERNEL and I'm seeing it
set by default almost everywhere.
You have to know that this variable has been introduced a while back
when Linux was changing threading models. Those new models have broken
many applications like Java.This env variable have been introduced
then to get back the the old threading behavior. This was ages ago
when transition was needed but thinks are ine now.Setting
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL could be harmful for certain applications today. Just
Google it if you want to read more about this.

What is your opinion Guys ?
