irun elaboration issue: vhdl package with relative path not found

hi all

I am simulation a mixed signal design with Virtuoso (ADE L, ams), which includes some custom vhdl packages. Vhdl file of that package has a 'package' view.

The issue is, that 'irun' links the package files with a relative path, and results in an error that the files cannot be found.

IC6.1.7-64b.500.10

irun(64) 15.20-s022:

short snapshot from irun command:

> irun -many -other -options -f /absolutePath/netlist/vhdlPkgTextInputs

and the file 'vhdlPkgTextInputs' content is:

-makelib  LIBRARY_NAME   ../../util_pkg.vhdl   -endlib  

And the error message is:

irun: *E,FILEMIS: Cannot find the provided file ../../util_pkg.vhdl

When I edit the irun command file manually and change to absolute path, and then start from the command line, the netlisting of the design works ok. 

Is there a hidden option in the gui to switch to absolute paths? Or any other suggestions? For the moment, I did not find a way to start the simulation ...

I hope the problem is understandable, I am happy to give more info. Thanks for any help in advance

Kind Regards

Dani
