Hello, Thanks for your reply. Yes - I am able to build, load and run existing simics modules without a problem. >From some other posts on the Simics forum it seems that loadable modules need to built within a Simics workspace. Is this true for the flexus module also? If so, can you please provide any pointers on how this can be done.
Thanks! -Shri ------------- Hi, We've had a couple of previous reports of this error, but we were not able to reproduce it and I don't think it was resolved. Can you build and load one of the stock Simics modules, such as g_cache (see Simics documentation for info)?

We downloaded the latest Simics (3.0.31) and used a personal academic license as you were. Following the directions in the Getting Started Guide, we were unable to reproduce the error and everything worked fine. This leaves the OS/distribution as possible problem. We've never tried Debian linux 2.6.22; we support SUSE Linux 10.1 and 8.1, and Fedora Core 5, 7, and 8. The shortest term solution for you would be installing one of these distributions. We will get to the bottom of this problem, but it may be up to a month before we can solve this.
