Errors linking Modelsim BFM models

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, 

  I am trying to run a Verilog simulation of a test bench generated by Qsys 14.0 of a system that includes an ARM SoC HPS block.  The originally generated test bench from ip-make-simscript --spd=...../soc_system_tb.spd did not include what I believe is a required element on the sim command line =  -mvchome $QUARTUS_ROOTDIR/../ip/altera/mentor_vip_ae/common +define+MODEL_TECH  After point that to the Altera mentor_vip_ae/common dir I then get the following errors from vsim.  I am using the latest Questa 10.3c  Any suggestions?  Thanks Martin   Loading fpga_interfaces.mgc_common_axi_sv_unit(fast)# Loading fpga_interfaces.mgc_common_axi(fast__3)# ** Error: (vsim-8388) Could not find the MVC shared library : MvcHome directory '/net/tcfiler2.scs.agilent.com/vol/v51/rpdhw/tools/altera/14.0//../ip/altera/mentor_vip_ae/common' is not a valid MVC installation for an available linux_x86_64 GCC version in /net/tcfiler2.scs.agilent.com/vol/v51/rpdhw/tools/mentor/modeltech/10.3c/questasim (available versions: 4.3.3 4.5.0 ).

SO I fixed the link to find the MVC library. 

 But now I get many errors like this one:  # Loading /net/tcfiler2.scs.agilent.com/vol/v51/rpdhw/tools/altera/14.0/quartus/../ip/altera/mentor_vip_ae/common/questa_mvc_core/linux_x86_64_gcc-4.5.0/libaxi_IN_SystemVerilog_MTI_full.so # ** Error: (vsim-3197) Load of "/net/tcfiler2.scs.agilent.com/vol/v51/rpdhw/tools/altera/14.0/quartus/../ip/altera/mentor_vip_ae/common/questa_mvc_core/linux_x86_64_gcc-4.5.0/libaxi_IN_SystemVerilog_MTI_full.so" failed: libaxi_IN_SystemVerilog_MTI.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.  Martin

The “Bad library format” errors usually occur if the simulation libraries were compiled with a different simulator version other than version you are running now. 

Try remove the entire compiled database and recompile with your Questa 10.3c.  .
