Describe the bug

Hi,
I'm trying to run with latest ORFS commit and getting below error.

lacement density is 0.738000020980835, computed from PLACE_DENSITY_LB_ADDON 0.20 and lower bound 0.6600000262260437
global_placement -density 0.738000020980835 -pad_left 0 -pad_right 0 -routability_driven -timing_driven -force_center_initial_place -min_phi_coef 0.95 -max_phi_coef 1.05
[ERROR STA-0562] global_placement -force_center_initial_place is not a known keyword or flag.

Looks like -force_center_initial_place this argument is added part of latest OpenROAD.

With predbuilt binary openroad_26Q1-342-g7c57b1b222_amd64-ubuntu-22.04.deb tag this is not available and throwing error while running the flow.

Expected Behavior

Pass make command for gcd design

Environment

Latest ORFS with pre-built OpenROAD

To Reproduce

Install with pre-built binaries and run make

Relevant log output

Here is testcase:

global_place_gcd_nangate45_base_2026-02-17_09-34.tar.gz

Please give a commit rather than Latest ORFS which changes constantly.

This is not a bug; you are just using incompatible versions of OR and ORFS.
Please roll back your ORFS version or wait for a new release of the binary.

@vijayank88
A new deb installer is available at https://vaultlink.precisioninno.com/
Note that 26Q1-951-g6975124cf2 works for ORFS 01bc23c and any other ORFS version where tools/OpenROAD points to this OR commit. Other combinations are not guaranteed to work.

In ubuntu machine the pre-built binary complete the flow, but with WSL it fails with below error:

Error: cts.tcl, 85 couldn't execute "/home/naveen/OpenROAD-flow-scripts/tools/install/kepler-formal/bin/kepler-formal": no such file or directory

@naveen17440 you need to install kepler-formal, this is a third-party tool

We build it now as a submodule of orfs so we should be able to include it
