restoring cadence library from tar archive

Hi,

I tarred (to backup) my library with tar -cvvf blablah.tar blahblah/
when i went to restore it..i made a backup directory..and untarred it
in there..so now the dir is
backup/blahblah/

i then added the path to my library manager..when i open the
layout..all the pins no longer have labels...they just say
met1$12312$$21 something of that nature..i need to get my pins back to
i can lvs (schematics are fine)

any ideas?

thanks,
mekhail

 

You might have a libInit.il file in the library directory. Several of
the test cases I get have this file and it references something relative
to the parent directory. Since you added a level of hierarchy, a
reference like load("../skill/pcells.il") may not be working.

Try moving the library to the same level or hierarchy it was at with a
command like:

mv backup/blahblah blahblah.backup

Then update your cds.lib to point to blahblah.backup and see if things
are happy.
