Issues with xcelium simulation

[RakeshpatilLB]

When running CVA6 simulations on Xcelium, I encountered an internal exception related to an unknown datatype during design elaboration. These are the series of commands i have used. If I missed any steps or if there's a correct procedure, please advise. I would really appreciate it.

export XCELIUM_HOME=/home/install/XCELIUM2009/
then changed the PATH variable in verif/sim/setup-env.sh
export PATH="/home/install/XCELIUM2009/tools/bin:$VERILATOR_INSTALL_DIR/bin:$RISCV/bin:$PATH"

source verif/sim/setup-env.sh
export DV_SIMULATORS=xrun-testharness
cd ./verif/sim

python3 cva6.py --target cv32a60x --iss=$DV_SIMULATORS --iss_yaml=cva6.yaml \ --c_tests ../tests/custom/hello_world/hello_world.c \ --linker=../../config/gen_from_riscv_config/linker/link.ld \ --gcc_opts="-static -mcmodel=medany -fvisibility=hidden -nostdlib \ -nostartfiles -g ../tests/custom/common/syscalls.c \ ../tests/custom/common/crt.S -lgcc \ -I../tests/custom/env -I../tests/custom/common"

This is the error :

that's a very old Xcelium version. A more recent version probably will not have the error.

@palubid Thanks for responding!
this is the version info:
>>xrun --version

TOOL: xrun(64) 20.09-s012: Started on Nov 01, 2025 at 09:49:39 IST xrun(64): 20.09-s012: (c) Copyright 1995-2021 Cadence Design Systems, Inc. xrun: *E,NOSOPT1: Unknown option (--version). TOOL: xrun(64) 20.09-s012: Exiting on Nov 01, 2025 at 09:49:39 IST (total: 00:00:00)

Here 20.09 means a version released in 2020. Is this really old?
Are the above mentioned steps correct?

I was able to elaborate without any errors using Xcelium version 25.03-s001 on RHEL 8.4
