Brian and Abu, Thanks for your replies and for your time for looking into this problem.
On my side, I will try the following: 1. working with an older simics version (2.2.19) 2. switching to fedora 3. trying to compile flexus-3.0.0 as a module under Simics. I will keep you posted on my progress. Thanks again, -Shri On Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 12:13 AM, Brian Gold <[email protected]> wrote: > Hmm... thanks for pointing this out.

We will push out an update to Flexus that resolves this problem in an automated way, but in the interim please use the following command after building Flexus (e.g., "make TraceFlex"). > $SIMICS/scripts-start-simics -no-module-cache \ > -P modelbuilder -sign-module \ > $FLEXUS_ROOT/simulators/TraceFlex/libflexus_TraceFlex_v9_iface_gcc.so > > substitute your path to simics for $SIMICS and the flexus root > directory for > FLEXUS_ROOT. If you run into problems please let us know.
