Abstract generation problems

Hi,

we're trying to generate abstract views of our layouts but we've run into
som problems.
I've attached the output from abstract when we try running it on a cell
from within cadence. We get similar errors when trying to create an
abstract using the abstract generator manually. It occurs when trying to
attach a technology to a library.

According to the output it seems like the techfile is bad in some way, how
can that be? We're using hit-kit 3.60 and we've tried the same with
hit-kik 3.50 as well.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
