    You may have decalred it as a component, but it cannot find the entity (ie. the source code for arbiter).

    Sir,

    Here is the defination of component 'Arbiter'.

    COMPONENT Arbiter

    PORT(Req, North, West, Mask: IN std_logic;

    South, East, Grant: OUT std_logic);

    END COMPONENT;

    The instant of above arbiter is called as follows.

    Arbiter_1_1: Arbiter

    PORT MAP (Req => arb_req(1), North => High, West => High, Mask => c_bar_P(7),

    South => south_2_north(1)(1), East => east_2_west(1)(1) , Grant => arb_grant(1)(1));

    and the error is

    Error: Node instance "Arbiter_1_1" instantiates undefined entity "Arbiter"

    Like I said, that is just the component.

    You need the source code for the entity.

    A component is just a black box until you have an entity to link it to. A component on its own is useless.

    Do you not have an arbiter.vhd?

    I have no idea how the arbiter is supposed to work.

    So only you can create the arbiter.

    Why are you using a component called arbiter if you dont have the source code for it?
