Problem in reading-in in Spectre

 Hi dear fellows,

 I just upgraded my Cadence from version 5 to 6. In version 5, there was a portAdapter componentwhich was in rfExamples library. After upgrading to version 6 and adding the same library, I can still drag and drop the portAdapter to the schematic but there is a problem while doing the simulation. The error after any simulation is as follows:

 Error found by spectre in `portAdapter', during circuit read-in.
    ERROR (SFE-874): "input.scs" 16: Unexpected comma ",". Expected close parenthesis.

     Hi dear Andrew

    Sorry for late response. I was in IMS in Tampa last week. 

    Here is the result that I got after executing the commands you posted to me. 

     

    getVersion(t)
    "sub-version  IC6.1.5-64b.72 "

    uname -a
    Linux ict41706.vlsi.enel.ucalgary.ca 2.6.32-431.1.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Dec 12 13:59:19 CST 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

     

    Would you please guide me based on these info to figure this problem out.
