error when loading fphdl16_pkg, fphdl_base_pkg

[hari]

h
i am using the 16 bit floating point package fphdl16_pkg and
according to the specification in the website the package
fphdl_base_pkg is the base package for the fphdl16_pkg.but when i load
the design with the packages i get a error in model sim.

# ** Error: (vsim-3174) Package 'work.fphdl_base_pkg' requires a body.


both the packages compile correctly.
what could be the reason.do i need to use declare the package
fphdl_base_pkg
in my design directly( i did that but even then the same error is
repeating)
thanks

You need to compile the files in the following order

fphdl_base_pkg.vhd
fphdl_base_pkg_body.vhd
fphdl16_pkg.vhd

(from reading the website). I guess you forgot the
fphdl_base_pkg_body.vhd
