even though i don't have any layout constraints (that i know of), the fitter complains:

   

    Error: plm.M0005: Fixed location constraints could not be satisfied during macrocell to LAB packing.  See report file for more information. (App=cydsfit)
    ERROR: Fixed location constraints could not be satisfied during macrocell->PLD packing.

   

 

   

is this a common problem?  my circuit is pretty trivial.

   

 

   

the complete error message is included here:

   

<CYPRESSTAG name="PLD Packing">
Error: plm.M0005: Fixed location constraints could not be satisfied during macrocell to LAB packing.  See report file for more information. (App=cydsfit)
ERROR: Fixed location constraints could not be satisfied during macrocell->PLD packing.
Constraint failure occurred when trying to place the following macrocell
into the PLD at location [UDB=(3,0)][LB=1][MC=1]:

   

    MacroCell: Name=COMM_STATE_0, Mode=(T-Register) @ [UDB=(3,0)][LB=1][MC=1]
        Total # of inputs        : 0
        Total # of product terms : 0
        List of special equations: 
            Clock  = (COMM_CLK_IN)
            Reset  = (Net_1015)
            Clock Enable: True
        Main Equation            : 0 pterms
        !(
            0
        );
        Output = COMM_STATE_0 (fanout=11)
        Properties               : 
        {
        }

   

Destination PLD had the following contents:
LAB@[UDB=(3,0)][LB=1] #macrocells=1, #inputs=0, #pterms=0

    [McSlotId=0]: (empty)
    [McSlotId=1]: (empty)
