Cdb creation using make_cdb 7.1

I get a fatal error just after Characterizing the first cell, the exact point is shown below:

#############################################

Can anyone tell me why this is occuring? The resrdx.cxx is not accessable in my local area, is this an internal file that is deleted after make_cdb exits?

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, this message is not giving us many clues to debug the issue. Can you post your make_cdb script? Did you try make_cdb -64?

This is my make_cdb script and I have not tried the 64 bit verson.
set_supply -vdd 1.8
set_supply -gnd 0.0

I have just ran the 64 bit version of make_cdb and it fails the exact same way as the 32 bit version.

Instead of using -all in generate_cell_lib, use the -cell_list parameter and list out the cells you're trying to characterize.

Found the issue, its a bug within the 7.1 and earlier versions of 8.1. I update to the lastest version and its working fine now.
Thanks for all your help.
