I downloaded both magic-7.2.51 and magic-7.3.2. They both expand, compile and run with the formula as shown on Tims web page tar -xvzf magic-7.2.51 cd magic-7.251 cd scripts ./configure --with-tcl --with-opengl cd .. make tcl make install-tcl Both run with the default SCMOS technology and the Tcl wrapper "magic -w" and the 0.25um Technology file SCN5M_DEEP.12 for 5 metal layers as "magic -w -TSCN5M_DEEP.12". They both read Grahams cells just fine with either technology with no DRC errors. I found Grahams XLS spreadsheet to be fascinating as he diagrammed his cells and would urge others to read it. It has some very useful insights into how he designed his cells. I did make a mistake earlier that led to some confusion on my part, but others might trip over this one also, so here it is. Watch out when invoking ./configure to not misspell "--with-opengl". I did, and an error was quietly written into make.log and invoking magic failed with an undefined function. Looks like it will be a fun weekend studying Grahams cell library.
