Hello everyone As, I want to use magic tool for creating the layout using sky130 tech but can someone please tell me that where should I open the magic and how to open and interface the magic with sky 130technology ?
As, I have followed the steps to open sky130A tech file in magic that I have copied the sky130A.magicrc file inside the vsdflow/work/tools/magic8.3/magic_sky130_simukation folder and rename it with .magicrc then, run " magic " command inside the same terminal under same directory , so, it's showing this error . Where this magic_sky130_simulation folder is make by me inside this guevn directory as specified above . Can anyone pleas tell me how to solve this error ? @Tim Edwards sir please help me

It is pointing to a file 
/usr/local/pdk/volare/sky130/build/.../sky130A/libs.tech/magic/sky130A.tech
that apparently does not exist. For an installation of open_pdks, the 
.tech
file pointed to by the associated 
.magicrc
file should be in the same directory. If you got the 
sky130A.magicrc
file from the 
vsdflow/work/tools/...
folder, then the tech file should not be in 
/usr/local/pdk/volare/...
.

What does magic output if you do 
magic --version
?

02/16/2023, 6:21 PM
Sir, it's 8.3.50

Tim Edwards

02/16/2023, 7:05 PM
You are 316 revisions out of date with the current version, which is probably why it is segfaulting.
The release date of 8.3.50 was August 12, 2020.

No libstdc++? You need to install a basic compiling environment, like 
apt get build-essential
.

Sir, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling or again installing it again and again but still it's showing same error what should I do now ?
Can you please suggest me the all installation steps ? As , I have tried installing using that make command also, and using this sudo apt-get install magic command also, but still same error persist

Do 
apt install libstdc++
. Apparently build-essential doesn't include it. Using 
apt install magic
will just get you a very outdated version. Don't use it.
