I am amazed that there are not more teal/truss messages. Going right to the timeout is quite odd. Let's try disabling the hdl timeout (testbench around 120).

The distro's that work for HWSIM is really depressing. User Experience is not a top priority to say the least. I've found that the best way around it is to separate your user experience machine from your actual simulation machine (virtual or not). True VM are slower and use up space but neither are much of a bottle neck nowadays (and if they are you have the $$$ to solve it). You should have more luck in CentOS and helpfully Mike or I can recognize any errors better. With Ubuntu (and the errors you are showing) you are in unknown land. Do you have access to any simulator licenses? wisemonkey on "Compiling and Using teal/truss on Ubuntu 11.10 / gcc-4.6.1" http://forums.trusster.com/topic/compiling-and-using-tealtruss-on-ubuntu-1110-gcc-461#post-139 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 16:00:52 +0000 wisemonkey 139@http://forums.trusster.com/ Robert: I'll get centOS5 running under virtual box and let u know if I have any issues.

Any chance you can run on something else? When it comes to linux Ubuntu is by far my favorite distro but my experience in HW simulation tells me that it will not easily work. No simulator companies (i.e Synopsys, MTI or Cadence) supports it (to my knowledge) and I have personally tried installing vcs under it and failed. If you can perhaps consider using centOS5 or similar (I tried VCS under centos6 and it doesn't work). Both Mike and I are mostly using CentOS versions and would be more familiar with the issues. CentOS is a Red Hat Enterprise clone (binary compatible). While a REALLY boring distro it's stable and more commonly used in the HW field I don't know what your error means but it could be that you don't have the right threading library (pthreads) installed. This might be because you're running on something far newer then expected. My personal setup of choice is a MacBook Pro running a VM (CentOS5). It beats even Ubuntu in sexiness and VM is more then fast enough.
