Hello. A funny thing happened very suddenly on our Linux servers that I'm at a loss to explain. The basic problem is this: RedHat 7.1, modules 3.1.6 Log into a Linux system, load up several modulefiles for some EDA software, then try to run another module command and we get the error: init.c(425):ERROR:159: Cannot initialize TCL Turns out the reason this happens is due to adding a new library to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH from one of the EDA tools, DesignSync from Synchronicity "lib.Linux". Take that out of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and modules starts working again. And interestingly, version 3.1.5 does not exhibit this issue. So what could have caused this? I'd like to isolate what the issue is so I know who to ask to fix it. If the folks at Synchronicity took over a Tcl function or something like that, I'd like to be able to explain it to them so they can fix it in their next release. If it's a modules thing, it would of course be nice to patch it. :-) By the way, this wasn't an issue up until today. There was a lot of work done on our network infrastructure and storage pool, and today this issue was all of a sudden there. I've looked at the Linux servers and none of them received any RPM updates, so the software versions haven't changed. I'm at a loss to explain how anything IT did could have caused this. Thanks, - Leo |
