Hello, everyone, I need you to help me deal with the error of Abstracting LEF files.

In the process of "Abstract and Verify step" , I meet these error reminder.

    I'm guessing that you have neither Silicon Ensemble (very old) or Encounter (old) in your search path. Maybe you have Innovus in your search path, but Innovus is not (yet) supported in the Verify step (there's a change request asking for this, but it's not been implemented yet). Please contact customer support over this issue.

    Andrew.
