Broken std library in Modelsim XE 6.3c

Guest
I think I've broken my Modelsim. A couple of days ago
things were working fine. Then I let XilinxUpdate bring me up to the
latest models, and all of a sudden my directly instantiated components
weren't working. I told Modelsim to Refresh all of the libraries from
the Library pane, and now when I try to simulate my testbench I'm
getting the error:

# ** Error: (vsim-3174) Package 'C:\Modeltech_xe_starter\std.standard'
# requires a body.

Does anyone have any idea of how to fix this? Preferably without
having to uninstall/reinstall Modelsim; that's half a day's work I'd
rather not put in unless it's essential.

Search the ModelSim User's Manual for "Rebuilding Supplied Libraries", this
will tell you how to run "rbldlibs.do".

Search the ModelSim User's Manual for "Rebuilding Supplied
Libraries", this will tell you how to run "rbldlibs.do".

No luck. Neither the user's manual nor the reference manual contains
the word "rebuilding" or any reference to "rbldlibs.do". rbldlibs.do
is not the name of any file anywhere under the C:
\Modeltech_xe_starter directory tree.

Any other ideas?

Read up on vcom -refresh in the modelsim docs.

Also note that source code that infers rather than
instances does not have this annoyance.
Good luck.

Hi Rob,

I guess they removed the rbldlibs.do file and vhdl_src\std directory from
the OEM version. Unfortunately I can only suggest to re-install Modelsim, it
shouldn't take half a day though.

Good luck,

Ultimately what I wound up doing. At some point, an uninstall of all
of the old version that I had piling up, and a fresh new installation
plus dropping the latest models, won out over an open-ended attempt to
hunt the magical "unbreak yourself" command.

Whoever is responsible, by the way, for the fact that Windows takes
better than 10 minutes just to populate the program list in the
Add/Remove Programs panel, and then just as long to repopulate after
each removed program, can't be taken out back and shot enough times.

One alternative is command line scripts and makefiles.
(and no one gets hurt ;)
