Errors linking Modelsim BFM models

Hi,

I am trying to run a Verilog simulation of a test bench generated by Qsys 14.0 of a system that includes an ARM SoC HPS block.

The originally generated test bench from ip-make-simscript --spd=...../soc_system_tb.spd

did not include what I believe is a required element on the sim command line =

-mvchome $QUARTUS_ROOTDIR/../ip/altera/mentor_vip_ae/common +define+MODEL_TECH

After point that to the Altera mentor_vip_ae/common dir I then get the following errors from vsim.

I am using the latest Questa 10.3c

Any suggestions?

Thanks Martin
