cadence Xcelium 25.03 - libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file

[pino]

Hello EDA Playground Team,

I am trying to implement the DPI-C functionality using Cadence Xcelium 25.03. It used to work correctly in the past, but when I recently ran it again to re-verify, the following error message appeared in the log.

It does not appear to be a compile or run option issue. I also confirmed that the same DPI-C implementation works correctly when switching to a different tool, without modifying the DPI-C coding style itself.

Could you please help investigate the cause of this issue, and advise how to resolve the missing libcrypt.so.1 library problem when running DPI-C with Xcelium 25.03?

This will be caused by my having updated Xcelium last weekend. Sorry. I do do extensive testing before deploying any update, but DPI is not something I explicitly test. I'm going to need to do a mod to add this libcrypt.so.1 shard object file to the servers. So, I'll do it as soon as I can, but it will take a little while because I am really busy this week and next. I notice that your code runs on Questa. So, there's a temporary fix.

Thank you for your quick reply.
It was helpful to know the correction schedule and solution.
