A small problem with Tetramax startup error

When using the tmax2 command to start, tmax2 reports the following error

ERROR:  $SYNOPSYS/bin was not found in your PATH setting.'
        Verify that $SYNOPSYS is correctly set and that your'
        PATH includes $SYNOPSYS/bin before retrying.'
        Currently SYNOPSYS = '$SYNOPSYS'"

Check the tetramax environment variable configuration (module file), the output is as follows:

setenv          TMAX_HOME /soft/synopsys/tetramax/Q-2019.12-SP4/
setenv          SYNOPSYS /soft/synopsys/tetramax/Q-2019.12-SP4/
prepend-path    PATH /soft/synopsys/tetramax/Q-2019.12-SP4/bin
prepend-path    MANPATH /soft/synopsys/tetramax/Q-2019.12-SP4/doc/snps_tcl/man
prepend-path    MANPATH /soft/synopsys/tetramax/Q-2019.12-SP4/doc/snps_gui/man

Output PATH path:

/soft/synopsys/tetramax/Q-2019.12-SP4/bin:/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

 

Error correction and resolution:

Check the tmax2 startup script: vim /soft/synopsys/tetramax/Q-2019.12-SP4/bin/tmax2

Find the error prompt keyword and see it on lines 471 and 472:

CHKPATH=`echo $PATH | grep -c "$SYNOPSYS/bin"`
if [ $CHKPATH -eq 0 ]; then

These two lines represent the number of occurrences of "$SYNOPSYS/bin" in the configuration that determines the PATH. .

After detailed inspection, it was found that the path of $SYNOPSYS in the module configuration file is:

/soft/synopsys/tetramax/Q-2019.12-SP4/

Then the actual path of the corresponding $SYNOPSYS/bin is:

/soft/synopsys/tetramax/Q-2019.12-SP4//bin

Note the difference: the latter one has one more "/" than the upper one

Lookup failed with 0 occurrences. So tmax2 fails to start with an error.

Modify the module file and change /soft/synopsys/tetramax/Q-2019.12-SP4/ to /soft/synopsys/tetramax/Q-2019.12-SP4

Remove the last "/", save, re-run tmax2, the startup is successful
