Running OpenAccess Executables Standalone

---

To run OpenAccess binaries standalone outside of the Cadence environment, append the path to the wrapper scripts for the OpenAccess binaries to your PATH variable.

For example, append oa_install_dir/bin to your PATH variable, where oa_install_dir is the path to your OpenAccess installation directory. The wrapper scripts for the OpenAccess binaries automatically set your shared library path.

You might want to set your shared library path manually, for example, to create your own wrapper scripts. Set the shared library environment variable according to your platform as shown in the following table.

You can use the oaGetLibPath script, available in the oa_install_dir/bin directory, to return the path to the libraries on your platform.

Requirement for Linux Platforms

To run OpenAccess binaries standalone outside of the Cadence environment on a Linux platform, you must have the gcc shared libraries in your library search path. If you have not installed the appropriate gcc compiler, you must set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable as specified below:

cadence_install_dir/tools.lnx86/lib/64bit

Where cadence_install_dir is the path to your Cadence product installation directory.
