Ruby error on some platforms

mrg

I get this error on some platforms when running LVS using the Sky130 PDK:

sh: line 1: pmap: command not found
ERROR: In /home/X/class/chip-tutorials/klayout/tech/sky130/pymacros/../lvs/sky130.lvs: undefined method strip' for nil:NilClass ERROR: /home/X/class/chip-tutorials/klayout/tech/sky130/pymacros/run_lvs.lym:135: RuntimeError: NoMethodError: undefined methodstrip' for nil:NilClass in Executable::execute

I've confirmed that it works on:
Ubuntu 20.04 with Ruby 2.7.1

But it fails on:
Ubuntu 20.04 with Ruby 3.1.5 (inside Docker)
MacOS Sequoia 15 with Ruby 2.6.10

I have a demo with an inverter.

Hi @mrg,

The first line says, pmap is not installed. I think your Docker instance does not have it. It's not a Ruby or KLayout issue.
