You have to specify the correct path with the environement variable : setenv GENVIEW_TECHNO_NAME $TOP/etc/cmos_7.genview (replace $TOP with the directory of alliance) > > May be the segmentations faults are due to the X11R5??? I say this because > my linux distribution (and most of them) use X11R6. Solution?? Graal and Dreal try to load misc fonts and you have to install : 9x15, 7x13 and 5x8 fonts. Anyway please try to run dreal with the -debug option, and send me back the result, i'll try to help you ... > > In the other hand, it could be a waste of time if 'dreal' connot do what I > want it to do: I work with non squared designs, it means that my polygons > can have vertex at any point with no 90 degrees disposition; example, a > triangle.
