ncelab and ncvlog version error conflict

mhkvy4

I am trying to follow a tutorial on how to use NClaunch interface to compile and elaborate verilog files.  There seems to be a version conflict when I get to the elaborate step. Here is the error I get:

ncvlog_cg: *F,NBADVR: The version of the Calling tool "TOOL: ncelab(64) 10.20-s076" does not match the version of the Called tool "TOOL: ncvlog_cg(64) 08.20-s015".

When I type in ncvlog and ncelab from the terminal, the versions appear to be same 64 bit ones, 08.20-s015.

Is there any way I can change the version ncelab called by nclaunch. 

Also when I try to use ncelab on my stimulus file from the command line, I get the following error:

Unable to find a unit named 'stimulus.v' in the libraries.

I am beginner to using ncverilog and nclaunch so any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks

    This is a very strange error that one would normally never expect to see :-)

    I wonder if someone has messed with the tool installation...

    What is your PATH variable set to? Please share it here.

    Have you set CDS_INST_DIR (a common mistake, users should NOT set this as it's a tool internal variable)?

    Please also share your exact ncverilog command.

    As a point of reference, you should aim to use a newer Incisive release, the 10.20 stream moved out of support a very long time ago, we're on 15.10 now, and 14.10 is the oldest supported release today.

    Also, if you're new to the tool and creating a new flow, I would strongly recommend to use the "irun" front-end, as this is the preferred compile/elab/run tool that replaces the older ncverilog/ncvlog/ncelab/ncsim commands.
