Loading and streaming custom Pcell issue.

Hi,

I'm developing a skill pcell, but have a problem with loading it. I use two files one that has all my procedures and another that has the pcDefinePcell. I load the procedures file in the libInit.il file, and then load the pcell which compiles without problems. The next time I open a new session though it gives an Pcell eval fail error:

*WARNING* (DB-270002): ("funcall" 0 t nil ("*Error* funcall: argument #1 should be a function object or name (type template = \"ug\")" nil))

Also if I load it locally streaming out works. But when I use the library I created to be common and used by other users as well it doesn't :(

I tried using Pcell IDE, but somehow its doesn't work for me. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Petya

    Hey Lawrence,

    Thank you for that! This is what I normally do, but nevertheless I found I'm stupid and had a global variable defined the same for two pcells procedures and that was causing the problem. Thank you!
