Re: [Gems-users] ruby install

Chenjie,
Sorry for the latency of the response -- many of us are only now returning from ISCA.

It seems that a lot of GEMS users are having trouble with their 
GCC/glibc versions. There is nothing in GEMS that is incompatible with 
modern glibc, but Simics is linked against older versions of glibc, 
which causes some incompatibilities. Since it is the python commands 
that are not properly loading, I recommend you check your python 
version as well -- see the virtutech documentation for the python 
version requirements of Simics.

Regards,
Dan Gibson

Hi all,

I am still having problems with the very beginning steps.

First, I did everything from scratch as told in quick start. And I set a checkpoint with  a uniprocessor configuration with sol8.(does this matter?)

Then I used that checkpoint and loaded ruby module, the message and commands are:

simics> load-module module = ruby
successful installation of the ruby timing model.
Warning: The 'ruby' module unexpectedly defined the 'ruby' class

simics>ruby0.init
unknown command 'ruby0.init'.
simics>

Actually, the module ruby seems cannot execute any command, though it recognizes commands that are not in its name space:

simics> ruby1.init
Parse error: No name space 'ruby1'
simics>

then,
simics>list-modules
...
ruby      YES   no
...
simics>list-failed-modules

MODULE                                       DUP      VERSION      USR_VERS      LINK
./modules/mod_opal_commands.py                                                           X
./modules/mod_ruby_commands.py                                                           X
simics>

So I see the two modules are not properly linked. But I checked those symlinks required by quick start and am pretty sure they are correct.

The gcc version is 3.4.5, g++ version is 3.4.5.

So anyone has some clue as what's going on?

Thanks so much,

Chenjie
