Search the ModelSim User's Manual for "Rebuilding Supplied Libraries", this
will tell you how to run "rbldlibs.do".

Read up on vcom -refresh in the modelsim docs.
Also note that source code that infers rather than
instances does not have this annoyance.
Good luck.

Hi Rob,

I guess they removed the rbldlibs.do file and vhdl_src\std directory from
the OEM version. Unfortunately I can only suggest to re-install Modelsim, it
shouldn't take half a day though.
