can anyone please sugest me to get rid of this problem

thanks

assura316 is quite old, consider upgrading to assura32 or assura41. check first which version is supported by your foundry.

hi,
I have generated layout from schematics,
now I wanted to do DRC using assura,
I am using umc65nm technology,
But i don't know where to copy or install rule file,I am getting error in path directory,
So please explain me how I can install rule file.

Looks to me like this is a missing techlib / techfile
problem, not a rules problem. Unless the rules don't
match the technology file. The foundry PDK ought to
have come with instructions on where things should
install and how things should be linked / defined. I
think you should start there. Like assura_tech.lib
link in your project home missing or wrong, maybe.
