Parent Previous Next

Symptoms

An error dialog box pops up when opening ADS workspace that used a previous version of Sonnet Software.


Syntax error in library definition file "C:\Users\Oldworkspace_wrk\lib.defs".
The lib.defs parser encountered an error in library definition file C:\Users\Oldworkspace_wrk\lib.defs, at line 5: 3509 Cannot read the INCLUDE file:

"<Path to old version of Sonnet>/sonnet_ads_dk/lib.defs".

Cause

ADS is searching for the older version of Sonnet's lib.defs file in the Sonnet Installation path which no longer exists and can't find it.

Workarounds

You can install the Sonnet ADS PDK using Admin - 3rd Party Interfaces. Then within that ADS workspace, the user can associate the newer version of the PDK for that workspace within the ADS tool through the Manage Libraries dialog.
