Was there ever a solution to this? I just got a similar error during an Agilex5 simulation:

I'm also getting this error. Based on earlier warnings in the compile process, it looks like it's related to DPI library dependencies in the PLL. I've tried placing -dpiheader arguments in the vsim command, but no luck.
Anyone know how to properly include precompiled DPI libraries in questa sim?

Thank you, kbrunham_altera for the suggestion.
mguran please try the suggestion provided by kbrunham_altera and let us know if it works.
If the issue persists, please provide the design QAR file (Project > Archive Project) and the testbench so we can reproduce the issue and investigate further.
