Simulator GCC Requirements
Mentor Verification IP requires that the simulator’s installation directory includes the GCC
libraries shown in
Table 1 . If the installation of the GCC libraries was an optional part of the
simulator’s installation and the Mentor VIP does not find these libraries, you will see an error
similar to the following error:
ModelSim / Questa Sim
# ** Error: (vsim-8388) Could not find the MVC shared library : GCC not
found in installation directory (/home/user/altera2/13.1/modelsim_ase) for
platform "linux". Please install GCC version "gcc-4.5.0-linux"

Notes:
Although a 32-bit executable simulation is supported, VCS requires a 64-bit Linux
OS. A 32-bit Linux OS is no longer supported.
If the environment variable VG_GNU_PACKAGE is set, this variable is used
instead of the VCS_HOME environment variable.
Cadence Incisive Enterprise Simulator
12.20.014 4.4 (Linux 32/64-bit) <install dir>/tools/cdsgcc/gcc/4.4
Notes:
Although a 32-bit executable simulation is supported, IES requires a 64-bit Linux
OS. A 32-bit Linux OS is no longer supported.
Use the cds_tools.sh executable to find the Incisive installation. Ensure $PATH
includes the Installation path and <install dir>/tools/cdsgcc/gcc/4.4/install/bin. Also,
ensure the LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes <install
dir>/tools/cdsgcc/gcc/4.4/install/lib.
