MacOS Klayout infinite window loop crashes computer

Open Revenantx86 opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Hello,

I have recently installed klayout and open pdk to my Mac. When I add the library to klayout on Mac. the python script launches infinite amount of klayout windows as like this:

Do you know how I can fix this ? I suspect it's because of circular import loop in the script ?

Leo Moser (@mole99) made a pull request to the upstream library that will likely solve this problem: https://github.com/efabless/sky130_klayout_pdk/pull/25. The pull request is under review.

Hi @Revenantx86, as Tim has said, there is now a new method to install the sky130 KLayout PDK from Efabless. You should be able to install the package directly from KLayout's package manager:

Let me know how that goes for you.
