Design Compiler Physical Synthesis all cells being marked 'don't use'

I am performing physical synthesis using DC-T of a design. I'm facing the following warnings/error:

Error: No physical library cells for following library cells (PSYN-014)

These cells belong to the ABC library.
My design makes use of 3 std cells libraries. All of which contain different sets of standard cells at the same PVTs.

Further above in the log is see the following warnings:

Warning: The '%s' cell in the 'ABC' technology library is being
marked as "dont_use". (PSYN-039)
Warning: The '%s' cell in the 'ABC' technology library does not
have corresponding physical cell description. (PSYN-024)

Solvenet describes the following solution for the same: https://solvnet.synopsys.com/retrieve/2064322.html

I'm setting the 4 different kind of libs using this kind of statement (ABC,XYZ,LMN,RSQ)

[concat $XYZ $ABC $LMN $RSQ]

I'm a little unsure how to set both the XYZ lib and the ABC lib as first in the link library files.

Please recommend me with ideas on how to solve the same.
