Warning: ddiAddLibtoOA: Can't access library'Library name" at path "path" in OA 2.2. OA Exception is: Syntax error in .oalib file of the library

I am getting this warning for all the libraries in virtuoso (IC616)

Warning: ddiAddLibtoOA: Can't access library'Library name" at path "path" in OA 2.2. OA Exception is: Syntax error in .oalib file of the library.

and can't access cells in user defined libraries also.

Even newly created libraries also show this warning and my design under the library disappear after some time

    I did some searching and only found this reported once or twice, and even then it was happening just for a single library. It wasn't clear what the root cause was. What does the .oalib file within the libraries look like? You say it happens for all libraries? Are you using design management tools?

    Is there a good reason why you're using an old version such as IC616?

    This article may help - at the very least to show what the .oalib file should look like (the .oalib file is in the directory for each library) - Cannot open library - ddiAddLibToOA warning message

    Regards,

    Andrew.
