    Assuming you have gpdk180 installed somewhere, just add:

      INCLUDE /path/to/gpdk180_v3.3/cds.lib.oa22

    into your cds.lib. Or if you only want the gpdk180 library itself, you could add this to your cds.lib:

      DEFINE gpdk180 /path/to/gpdk180_v3.3/libs.oa22/gpdk180

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Two issues - first of all, I don't know what your gmail account is, but more importantly there's a click-through license agreement to download it. So I wouldn't do that anyway.

    You can access it via http://support.cadence.com - go to Resources->Other Resources->Generic Process Design Kits. The direct link is:

    http://support.cadence.com/wps/mypoc/cos?uri=deeplinkmin:DocumentViewer;src=wp;q=ProductInformation/GPDK/GPDK.htm

    Maybe you have an old version with only CDB (IC5141) libraries?

    The "/path/to" bit is just an example of where it might be on your system.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    The gpdk180 will have both CDB (IC5) and OA (IC61) versions of the library.  You need to point to the OA version in your cds.lib.  I'm not immediately seeing gpdk180 on my system, but if I recall correctly they have a parallel directory structure so you'll see something like gpdk180/libs.oa and gpdk180/libs.cdb or gpdk180/build.oa and gpdk/build.cdb.  Your cds.lib will need to point to the oa version for IC615 so it should have a statement like:

     INCLUDE <path_to_gpdk180>/build.oa/cds.lib

    or

    DEFINE gdpk180 <path_to_gpdk180/build.oa/libs/gpdk180
