Questa Simulation vmap error

[allenS1]

Hello,

I'm currently trying to go through the Getting Started Tutorial for Questa - Intel FPGA Division. I'm using the same example design files for a PLL RAM that they give in the tutorial. I'm at the step where you're supposed to run the mentor_example.do script in section 1.6. However, when I run that command, it gives the follow output, and the simulation fails:

# .

I'm not sure what the reason for the error, as I've follow the tutorial exactly, but it looks like the line where is fails is "vmap work ./libraries/work/" in the msim_setup.tcl file. Why is it that the compilation library can't be created properly?

Hi there, what's your quartus installation path? And can you share the .do file you are using.

Hello there. I was able to resolve this issue. I suspect the issue could be either with the example design, which I redownloaded and started fresh, or not choosing the correct working directory (\mentor) when running the .do file in Questa. Thanks for your help though.
