Error found by spectre during circuit read-in--can't find process.scs library

Hi everyone

I've recently have come across an error that have not come across before and i'm hoping one of you may have an answer for me. For some unapparent reason the input.scs cannot not seem to find my process.scs libs. This just occured but previously Cadence has been running fine.

here is what the output files gives
