Need help in Assura RCX (TSMC 0.35um)

Hey! I've designed an LNA in Cadence (TSMC 0.35um CMOS technology). After successfully running DRC and LVS, when I tried to run RCX on my layout design, it gave the following errors: 'Can't access compare.rul' 'error loading master control file rcx.trial2.rsf' (my cell view name is trial 2) 'error in loadstring' I read over some forums that you need to update your RSF file but I'm not sure what commands are to be added. I'm using Assura av 3.1. Can anybody help me out? I'll be really grateful!

    Hi EngrFZ

    The problems seems quite strange because parasitic extraction does not require compare rules file. Would you please provide the following info?

    How are drc, lvs and rcx ran? Is it in batch mode in a terminal window? E.g.
    terminal>assura drc.rsf
    terminal>assura lvs.rsf
    terminal>qrc -cmd qrc.rsf

    Best regards
    Quek
