Answers Database V2.1i COREGEN, VIEWLOGIC, POWERVIEW v6.1, VLLINK, UNIX, FUSION v1.4 : "ERROR: Viewlogic symbol generation failed.", "WARNING: Core xxx did not generate product ViewSym" Record #6611 Product Family: Software Product Line: Coregen Product Part: Coregen Product Version: 2.1 Problem Title: V2.1i COREGEN, VIEWLOGIC, POWERVIEW v6.1, VLLINK, UNIX, FUSION v1.4 : "ERROR: Viewlogic symbol generation failed.", "WARNING: Core xxx did not generate product ViewSym" Problem Description: Urgency: hot General Description: The following message may be seen when trying to generate a Core with the CORE Generator for a Viewlogic flow: " "ERROR: Viewlogic symbol generation failed.", "WARNING: Core xxx did not generate product ViewSym " The symbol generation failure may be due to an incomplete environment setup. The CORE Generator invokes a Viewlogic utility called VHDL2SYM to generate a Viewlogic symbol. In Powerview 6.1 or later, the VHDL2SYM is bundled with Viewlogic's FUSION product. As a result, if you are using Powerview 6.1 or later, FUSION v1.4 must also be installed to support COREGEN Viewlogic interface on workstations. Solution 1: Required environment variables: WDIR <absolute path to Fusion 1.4 install directory>/standard:\    <absolute path to Fusion 1.4 install directory>/standard VANTAGE_VSS <absolute path to Fusion 1.4 install directory>/standard/van_vss LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${VANTAGE_VSS}/pgm/data:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} LM_LICENSE_FILE <path to the combined Fusion 1.4 and PV6.1 license.dat file> PATH <absolute path to Fusion 1.4 install directory>/standard/van_vss/pgm/dir:\     <absolute path to Fusion 1.4 install directory>:\     <absolute path to PV6.1 install directory> HP Platform ONLY: setenv VL_STRDISABLE 1 End of Record #6611 - Last Modified: 08/30/99 10:10
