Synopsys problem in targetting Library

[Mirzaaur]

hi all I am stuck with a strange problem. here is my .synopsys_dcset up file :
search_path = {/vlsicad/micsoft/IBM_CMOS8/ARTISAN/cms8sfg_hvt_1.2v/aci/sc-x/synopsys }
link_library = { vlsicad/micsoft/IBM_CMOS8/ARTISAN/cms8sfg_hvt_1.2v/aci/sc-x/synopsys/fast.db }
target_library = { /vlsicad/micsoft/IBM_CMOS8/ARTISAN/cms8sfg_hvt_1.2v/aci/sc-x/synopsys/fast.db }

but when I want to generate an area report it show me the library used is gtech.db I have attched the snapshot of screen related to area report. why is ? and what should I do to correct it ...

thanks a lot,

I believe you have not gone through the compile process. After u compile the design and then do the report_area, u ll be able to see the library that you are using in the Library(s) Used .

You should do compilation first. Then the tool will detail the reason how this problem happens.
Maybe it is caused by false path setting or the target library you setted doesn't exist, and so on.

thanks for replies...

Indeed the report I generate was after COMPILE....

I am still Stuck any idea...?

I think there is one error in .dc_setup..
in link path u have to use list
EG: {list path....

Hello,

Pay attention to the paths you are writing in the variables:
link_library = { vlsicad/micsoft/IBM_CMOS8/A
should be:
link_library = { /vlsicad/micsoft/IBM_CMOS8/A

Maybe that "/" caused the problem.....

I hope this helps!
