hi all
I have a problem reading a file into Design compiler 2001
when I write the following command in the design analyzer command window
| Code: |
| read -format vhdl {“./vhdl/synopsys.vhd”} |
the following error occures
 
my .synopsys_dc.setup file is ok
I coppied it from the DC tutorial to my work directory
so it is not a setup file problem
and the gui file>read generates an internal system error "it is a known bug in the design analyzer gui not an error with my installation"
please help me guys
thanks

Hi
There will be two reasons to get these type of errors
1. The path mentioned will be wrong
2. You might me using db (which was generated with later version ) when compared to version you are using for synthesis

hi,
my 2 cents,
* source your .synopsy-dc.setup file which has the path (search path, link and target libraries specified)
* try to change the version to the latest if available.
* Dont use the absolute path, give the full path to read in the file
* In case if the RTL calles libraries, check whether you have the DCOBj created in the same version of which your are using to readin the RTL
* check reading the RTL with "analyze" command.
happy designing
