If you see this during netlisting:

| Cause | Explanation | |-------|-------------| | | The library containing 78081g503 is not defined or commented out. | | Wrong library search path | cds.lib points to the wrong directory for that library. | | View not created | The cell 78081g503 exists but has no ic655 view (maybe only schematic or layout ). | | PDK version mismatch | PDK updated and renamed views (e.g., ic655 changed to symbol ). | | Case sensitivity | Library/cell/view names are case-sensitive in UNIX/Cadence. | | Corrupted library cache | cds.lib cache files ( cdsXlib.* , libManager.cache ) cause stale references. | | Reference from another library | A higher-level cell references 78081g503 ic655 from a library that isn't attached to technology or is missing. |

If the issue persists, the most probable cause is using an outdated romset from 2020 or earlier with a 2024+ MAME build.
