Quartus doesnt seem to recognize the new library

hi, ive been trying to use the library (ieee_proposed) i got from http://vhdlguru.blogspot.com/2010/03/fixed-point-operations-in-vhdl-tutorial.html in my design, but i get the following error in quartus:

Error (10481): VHDL Use Clause error at TEMP_READER.vhd(9): design library "ieee_proposed" does not contain primary unit "fixed_pkg"

i copied the library file to the library directories of quartus but stil i get errors

and ive included these line in my design file as instructed...

library ieee_proposed;

use ieee_proposed.fixed_pkg.all;

can somebody please help? ive attached the library file

regards

    I normally use a short cut i.e. comment out library anf add pkg to quartus project(add files).

    I love to know more professional way...

    Hello all!

    I have the same problem prompted in this thread.

    How can I compile the "fixed_float_types_c.vhdl", "fixed_pkg_c.vhdl" and "float_pkg_c.vhdl" files into the "ieee_proposed" library?

    A solution is to add them as external files (Settings menu-> Files -> Add), but I'd like to build up the library files so it would be more professional.

    Thank you all

    ps: I'm using Quartus II 9.0

    Quartus ignores design libraries, so there is no need to assign everything to libraries. Quartus is also pretty crap at doing it anyway.

    So I wouldnt bother.

    So the way o use them is to add this files as "Global User Libraries" in the Quartus II Options panel?
