Error while compiling eda simulation library

Hi, i'm tryng to compile Quartus library for active-hdl, VHDL language but i receive this errors:

Error: Error: VCP2000 c:/altera/13.1/quartus/eda/sim_lib/altera_lnsim.sv : (1522, 15): Syntax error. Unexpected token: static[_STATIC]. The 'static' is a SystemVerilog 3.x keyword. Please use -v2k or -v95 switch .

    Hi,

    Just wonder in which simulator the above errors are shown? Have you got a chance to try with Modelsim Altera?

    Do you have -sv2k5 on your vlog command, as that file is SystemVerilog.

    Actually, I pulled up a Riviera Pro simulation I'm running(in Q15.0) and it's added this way:

    vlog $USER_DEFINED_COMPILE_OPTIONS "$QUARTUS_INSTALL_DIR/eda/sim_lib/altera_lnsim.sv" -work altera_lnsim

    So maybe as the message says of adding -v2k5. Seems strange. Just a guess.

    And to totally confuse you, I did a search on altera_lnsim.v, and in a 13.1 version of the simulation section of the Quartus handbook, I found:

    VCS and VCS MX Guidelines

    The following guidelines apply to simulating Quartus II designs in the VCS or

    VCS MX software:

    ■ Do not specify the -v option for altera_lnsim.sv because it defines a

    systemverilog package.

    ■ Add -verilog and +verilog2001ext+.v options to make sure all .v files are

    compiled as verilog 2001 files, and all other files are compiled as systemverilog

    I know this is for a different simulator, but thought I'd mention it.

    I received this error in the Quartus tool "Compiling EDA simulation Libraries" in the Tool menu. I used the gui to compile the library so i can't place or edit compilation command.
