unable to open config()

MarkGr15
MarkGr15 over 10 years ago

this is a snippet of my  output log. Notice the simulator does find an ADEXL license.  Next it errors out because it cannot open the config() which is set by the design() function.  Sometimes this script Errors out as shown, other times it runs fine. I do not have any idea why.  I will try and add more detail tomorow, but its late.

    That error means that it was unable to find the lib/cell/view passed to the design() function. It's essentially doing just a ddGetObj(lib cell view "*" nil "r") (to check the master.tag file) to determine this - and if this is working sometimes but not others, my assumption is that you have some kind of network/automount type problem which means that sometimes the data can't be found (or maybe there is something else wrong with your environment which means that the data isn't set up correctly).

    Probably if you can't figure it out, you'd be best talking to customer support - it's far from obvious what might be causing this (it could be some silly mistake, who knows?).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
