Hi all,

I am running a 64-bit linux installation and have the 8.4 tcl library installed. When I try to generate the hardware files, I get the following error:
/usr/Impulse/CoDeveloper3/StageMaster/bin/impulse_sm: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
make: *** [HelloWorld.xhw] Error 127

It seems stage master is expecting version 8.3 of the tcl libraries. I would install 8.3, however, it seems it will interfere with my 8.4 version which all the other tools on my machine use. I cannot seem to think of a way to 'trick' the tools to use a different version. I am also not sure if this has to do with the fact I am running a 32-bit version of Impulse on a 64-bit machine?

I have been told a 64-bit version will be released next month, but in the mean time compile everything with 32-bit libraries, which is not a problem. However, I am not sure if this tcl problem is one of those...

Please advise.

Thanks,

Ashu

Hi Ashu,

You can try installing the Tcl 8.3 library in your own directory, then use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to point to the location of libtcl8.3.so. Strange that installing both Tcl versions won't work... what problems do you see when you try to do this?

Regards,
Ralph

Hi
I have a similar error

/impulse_sm: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Am pretty sure, the environment variables are properly set.

Any suggestions?
