I just saw this error the other day. Here is how I fixed it:
1) Copy the ncsu/cdssetup/cdsinit to your home directory.
2) In your home directory rename it to .cdsinit
3) Make a new empty directory and invoke icfb from there.
There is a lot of backend setup that is needed, so I am not sure if that will fix your problem or not, it fixed mine.
BTW in my install I have a system level cds.lib that loads basic Design Kit Libraries when no local cds.lib is present. If you don't have that you won't see any libraries to start with.
