Wait why are you running export from the xschemrc

Arman Avetisyan · Answer

its a bash command not tcl one

Mayank Gupta · Answer

Oh was just trying to set PDK ROOT path

Mayank Gupta · Answer

Lemme search an equivalent for TCL

Either set it from the terminal then run xschem OR use proper tcl syntax

set env PDK ROOT your path here

This

Arman Avetisyan · Answer

1 you forgot space 2 post the tcl code + screenshot of an error

Arman Avetisyan · Answer

there is a space before double quotes

Mayank Gupta · Answer

I fixed that somehow by just using set PDK ROOT home dcursd AICD

Mayank Gupta · Answer

Thanks < U01UTPXQ2NQ> The xschem seems to work now I have run into some other error but I think it s an issue with the library files location and test model location

Matt Venn · Answer

I don t think this is good export PDK ROOT= home dcursd AICD $PDK ROOT

Matt Venn · Answer

you need to export PDK ROOT to an absolute path but the above is a circular reference

Matt Venn · Answer

anyway after fixing that you should be able to source the bashrc like this ``` ~ bashrc```

Matt Venn · Answer

and then ```echo $PDK ROOT ls $PDK ROOT```

Matt Venn · Answer

should print what the variable is set to and the list the files inside the pdk

Mayank Gupta · Answer

Okay let me try this Thanks Matt
