does anyone know how to address the error @make : "Error: Magic version 8.3.306 is required by this techfile, but this version of magic is 8.3.105."? Note, for some reason Magic version 8.3.306 is missing at the Git. Thanks!
m
Update to a magic version greater than 8.3.306.
a
the error has showed up after the upgrade to the magic version greater than 8.3.306, i.e. to 8.3.340
m
magic -dnull -noc --version
gives you 8.3.340?
a
Copy code
tar xvzf magic-8.3.340.tar.gz
cd magic-8.3.340
./configure
make
sudo make install
magic -dnull -noc --version results in 8.3.105. This is not what I want.
once I get things right on my WS, I plan to post a detailed upto date installation instructions for others
m
right. Where do you want to install? Currently installs in the default location. 
./configure --prefix=<install_directory>
Use 
which magic
to find install location. (for example 
/usr/local/bin/magic
) In that case, 
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
a
I want to install it on my personal ubuntu WS.
Copy code
which magic shows /usr/local/bin/magic
Copy code
could you give me an actual example for ./configure --prefix=<install_directory>, for instance, ./configure --prefix=/DIR_1/DIR_2
m
when you run 
sudo make install
where does it install to?
In that case, 
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
a
thanks, let me try it
installed version 8.3.340 of magic in /usr/local/bin/magic
magic -dnull -noc --version gives 8.3.340 now
I used ./configure --prefix=/usr/local for magic installation
cd ../xschem xschem Error: "Unable to open file: /usr/share/pdk/sky130A/libs.tech/xschem/sky130_tests/top.sch"
I see that file top.sch is residing at /home/owner/open_pdks/sky130/sky130A/libs.tech/xschem/sky130_tests rather than /usr/share/pdk/sky130A/libs.tech/xschem/sky130_tests
m
check your 
xschemrc
file
a
I will try to "adjust" xschemrc script from "/usr/share/pdk" to "/home/owner/open_pdks"

that is my "adjustment", in case if you have any feedback. There, I replaced /usr/share/pdk with /home/agajan/open_pdks
m
Probably needs to be 
/home/agajan/open_pdks/sky130
a
i will run with both edits
your recommendation won. thanks!
