Hello
I just generated with modelsim a VCD file and I wonder if it is possible to view this VCD file with modelsim? I tried to open it but I got the error message:
# WLF Error: File is not a WLF file: vcd.dump # Cannot open file: vcd.dump
Unfortunately I cant install gtkwave on my machine, because I dont have root rights. Is there any other simple tool that I could use under Linux?
Cheers Heinrich
Convert your VCD to WLF using vcd2wlf tool from ModelSim. Rgrds, Jan
Thanks Jan, works fine ;)

You don't have to have root rights to install software under Linux. It is always possible to install software in your home folder. The destination can usually be specified with the ./configure call.
However, especially with gtkwave and its dependency to gnome there might be some dependency missing that you don't have installed. Which then brings you in the same situation as before.
Cheers,
