I was compiling some VHDL code to run on the Cadence NCSim simulator with our new tools depot setup when I encountered this compile error:
ncvhdl: 06.11-s002: (c) Copyright 1995-2007 Cadence Design Systems, Inc. ncvhdl_p: *F,NOLSTD: logical library name STD must be mapped to a design library [11.2].
After some investigation, it turned out that our tool setup was missing the critical $CDS_INST_DIR environment variable that our cds.lib file was referring to for the STD library definition. After working with IT to properly define it, the build went through without any problems. The cds.lib file was defined like so:
include $CDS_INST_DIR/tools/inca/files/cds.lib

Grading Obama's Speech
(Political News) Conversational at times, lofty at others - and studiously serious throughout, in an apparent attempt to demonstrate that he possesses the demeanor of a plausible president. Superhumanly poised, he exhibited no jitters, never rushed, and married his own cadence to the rhythms of the audience's reaction.
