To whom it may concern: I am an EE major graduate student at University of Alabama at Birmingham(UAB). Currently I am evaluating Alliance for upcoming VLSI design course. I have some problem to see the layout by XWindows. Would you please give my some advise if some software need to be installed or I used incorrect environment variables ? The system here is Sun Ultra running SunOS 5.6 (Solaris for XWindos). I recorded the response of the total process as following : -Alliance installed ( alliance-3.2b-common.tar.gz & allliance-3.2b-sparc-solaris-2.5.1.tar.gz were used) -"configure" executed (alc_env.[c]sh generated) -"source alc_env.csh" executed -"make" under "addaccu" directory executed -"dreal -l addaccu" and "graal -l addaccu" both executed and fail to see the result on the Sun workstation.
