Comment (by hinder):
The same thing happened to me. I think it is happening whenever there is a syntax error in one of the configuration files. The dprint function which is supposed to print the error message is running into a missing SimLib instance, possibly because the error is being generated before the SimLib has been created (guessing here). You should be able to temporarily work around the problem by adding
print statement
to the dprint function (e.g. on line 20 of libutil.py). This will at least print the correct error message to the screen so you can see what is going on, until the problem with the error reporting is fixed.
