<@U01BFADNJRJ>: Usually this means that something went wrong with the PDK installation and the files under mag/ and maglef/ weren't generated. Could you check if they are there on your end?

<@U016HSALFAN> These files got generated at the end of the flow. Am I missing out on something here?

I meant at `$PDK_ROOT/sky130A/libs.ref/sky130_fd_io/maglef` for example. Are there any files there?
If so, have you move the installation directory (`sky130A`) after you installed it?

Just checked. There aren't any files in my `maglef` directory.

Thanks <@U016HSALFAN> for pointing it out.

<@U016HSALFAN>, as per your previous suggestion to check the maglef/ directory, I just realized that I was looking at the wrong directory. We are using *sky130_fd_sc_hd* as our STD_cell library and for that it has all the relevant files properly installed in the `$PDK_ROOT/sky130A/libs.ref/sky130_fd_sc_hd/maglef/` and mag/ directories. This means that the problem is not related to PDK installation but something else.

<@U01BFADNJRJ>: Have you moved it to another location since you installed it?

could u show the last ~5 lines of any of the files in your screenshot above (where it lists GDS_* properties)

Sure.
 &lt;&lt; properties &gt;&gt;
string LEFsite unithd
string LEFclass CORE
string FIXED_BBOX 0 0 1380 544
string LEFsymmetry X Y R90
string LEFview TRUE
string GDS_FILE /home/merlproj/backend-tools/pdks/sky130A/libs.ref/sky130_fd_sc_hd/gds/sky130_fd_sc_hd.gds
string GDS_END 277250
string GDS_START 267150
&lt;&lt; end &gt;&gt;

<@U016EM8L91B> <@U016HSALFAN> <@U01634FSETZ>,I am waiting for a response. Please guide. Thanks

is `/home/merlproj/backend-tools/pdks/sky130A/libs.ref/sky130_fd_sc_hd/gds/sky130_fd_sc_hd.gds` a valid path to an existing GDS file?
