What to do if CADENCE blocks ?

Virtuoso can block on a Linux workstation with the following error message:

“Unable to start up Library Manager (libManager.exe) after 60 times. There may be an access or network problem. Start the Library Manager from an UNIX shell window to test the accessibility”

The error is due to /etc/hosts not being configured correctly. By default, /etc/hosts has the following line:

• 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain

This line needs to be amended as follows:

• 127.0.0.1 <workstation name> <workstation name>.kaust.edu.sa localhost localhost.localdomain

Here, <workstation name> is the name of the workstation, for instance kw12022.

• 127.0.0.1 kw12022 kw12022.kaust.edu.sa localhost localhost.localdomain
  
  

The background is when Virtuoso wants to start up the Library Manager, it first looks in /etc/hosts to see if it can find the workstation name there. If it does not find the workstation name there, the startup of the Library Manager fails. Virtuoso will try to start up the Library Manager 60 times, which will block CADENCE from starting.Here, <workstation name> is the name of the workstation, for instance kw12022.
