Hi,

I have a similar problem. I am trying to run the simulation generated by qsys_example, ex1_back_to_back.qsys that comes with Altera Arria V ST Dev Kit. I am using the instructions in the user guide entitled mentor_vip_ae_usr.pdf.

Here's the problem. When I try to run "do example.do" from Modelsim Altera Starter Edition 10.1d, I get the following error:

---

**Error (vsim-8388) Could not find the MVC shared library: MvcHome directory 'MvcHome = C:/altera/13.1/quartus/../ip/altera/mentor_vip_ae/common' is not a valid MVC installation for an available mingw32vc9 GCC version in C:\altera\13.1\modelsim_ase/* available versions 4.2.1 ) Please check MvcHome setting in modelsim.ini or on command line -mvchome

The quartus software I use is "SJ Full Version" that came with the dev kit. The $QUARTUS_ROOTDIR = C:/altera/13.1/quartus. I also added a MvcHome = $QUARTUS_ROOTDIR/../ip/altera/mentor_vip_ae/common in the modelsim.ini file.

Please shed some light what could possibly be wrong here.

Thanks,

You need to check whether you have a license file as mentioned in previous reply
