a problem about DRC with IBM BiCMOS 7wl

Hello,

I am now designing the layout and met a problem when I run divaDRC. The
program terminated and some parts of error message are as follows:

" Parsing drcExtractRules of
"/cad/cds/IBM_PDK/bicmos7wl/V1.5.1.5DM/cdslib/bicmos7wl/divaDRC.rul"...

"

Does that mean some other layers are also generated when I generate the
layout? I can't find those unknown layers in the LSW window. And I also
tried Assura 3.16, the same error message occurs. I use Cadence 5.141. The
tech is IBM BiCMOS 7wl. Did anybody meet this before? Could someone help me
with this?

Thank you very much.

It seems, that your divaDRC runset does not match to your technology
library

either
* use/get a different technology library
* use/get different runset
* understand problem/hack runset
