*Error* ddGetObjReadPath: argument #1 should be a ddUserType

[rover8898]

Hello all,

I am attempting to install a new technology in cadence IC610. (Our
resident cadence admin is absent for a couple days, so i decided to
give it a shot). The readme of the technology pdk instructed me to add
the following line in my .cdsinit file:

load( strcat( ddGetObjReadPath( ddGetObj("..." ) ) "...." ) )

After doing that, and running icfb from a terminal window, I got the
following message outputted on my CIW window during initialization:

*Error* ddGetObjReadPath: argument #1 should be a ddUserType (type
template = "b") - nil

Does this imply that something is not properly installed (e.g.: a
missing library) ?
I googled this error, but alas I was not able to find anything I could
use.

Any help will appreciated
Thank you

-Roger

Roger,

It sounds as if you didn't give a valid library name as the argument to
ddGetObj(). For example, if you do:

ddGetObj("libName")

it should return a ddId. If it returns nil, it means that library is not in your
cds.lib/lib.defs . If it returns nil, that's what will give the ddGetObjReadPath
error.

So I'm assuming in your example above there was not actually "..." but some
library name? And the same for the filename part "...." ?

Andrew.
