I have installed IC617 and MMSIM151 in Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS. Everything gose well until I start simulation and launch ADE L. Once upon I open the ADE window, a warning is thrown out.
*WARNING* The Virtuoso Analog Design Environment (ADE) creates a user interface (UI) to match the features of the particular
version of MMSIM you are using. The software could not find the 'feature file' in the MMSIM hierarchy that lists the features
available in this version of MMSIM. You might be using a wrapper script around spectre such that 'which spectre' returns
your wrapper script and not spectre in the MMSIM hierarchy. For now, ADE will create a UI to match the latest version
of spectre. If you are using an older version and do not want to see the UI for features that are not available in
that version, you can set the following variable according to spectre version you are using:
setenv SPECTRE_FEATURE_FILE /home/pathForMMSIM/tools/spectre/etc/files/spectre.dat
I followed its davice and execute the last command by:
export SPECTRE_FEATURE_FILE=/mnt/d/cadence/MMSIM/tools/spectre/etc/files/spectre.dat
However this doesn't work and once I open the ADE window, this warning continues to throw out with two error:
Loading cdf.cxt
Loading AMSPlugin.cxt
*Error* concat: illegal argument type - nil
*WARNING* (DEBASE-102079): A SKILL error occurred in function artMenuTrigger
*Error* append: argument #2 should be a list - t
I opened the stacktrace and try to figure out the problem of error, these are the stacktrace result at error:
*Error* concat: illegal argument type - nil

deInstallApp(hiGetCurrentWindow() "analogArtist-Schematic")
It seems that the two error both comes from the
deInstallApp(hiGetCurrentWindow() "analogArtist-Schematic")
which troubles me much since I have no idea of how to continue my debug. It would be kind of you to give me some hints or help me figure out this issue.
