HiCliff,
Iranintothesameissue.Thereare2possiblesolutions:
1.Add+define+UVM_NO_DPI

2.Followtheexamples/simple/phases/run_test/Makefile.questa(oranyothersimpleexamples).Pleasenoteyour
gcc/g++version,thecodewouldnotworkwitholderGCC(mineisgcc4.3.2)
Bydefault,UVMwouldbringinsomeDPIforregexpinthenewresourceconfiguration.
Hopethatthishelps,

HiCliff,

YourUVMEAexamplesshouldthenbuildOKwithQuestaversion10.Notethatyouwillalsoneedtoupdatethe
