Good morning… got a silly problem… but cant get out:

this is my adef file where i include le\_mdc:

bindings:  
{  
networkMonitor.networkComponent.le\_mdc → modemService.le\_mdc  
networkMonitor.networkComponent.le\_data → dataConnectionService.le\_data  
}

in my component cdef i have:

requires:  
{  
api:  
{  
le\_mdc = le\_mdc.api  
le\_data = le\_data.api  
}  
}

but i continue to receive this message during compilation…:  
error: Couldn’t find file ‘le\_mdc.api’.

Naturally le\_mdc.api is interfaces dir loke all others…

going really mad…

Gianmaria
