run Calibre PEX with PCElls

 dear all

i have an issue when running calibre PEX for parasitic extraction, it fails and i have this message error 

*Error* load: error while loading file - "/server2/home/WORKDIR/myp/skill1.il

and this happens with all the pcells i created , the way i load them is by putting a load in the libInit.il

 

my layout looks good but Calibre crashes with those errors

 

so my question is what may cause this

 

and as the tapeout is close i am afraid i send a wrong thing to the foundry

creating a GDS2 file successfully and communicate it to the foundry is it enough to transmit my design faithfully, or shouldi take precaution like flattening my whole design

 

please enlighten me

 

regards

    It probably would help if you gave the exact error message  (so we know which undefined function it is complaining about, to know if it's really an issue or not).

    The auCore.cxt file problem is presumably because of the interface trying to produce a CDL netlist, and auCdl netlisting was not supported in 64 bit mode (it is from IC614 onwards, when the entire virtuoso suite is supported in both 32 and 64 bit mode).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
