I have checked the file path of systemc, which is correct. Have anyone encoutered this kind of problem?

Can you share your tree.make file?
It may be that the actual SystemC path might be slightly different from what you specified in such file.

Hello, I'm having the same issue, my tree.make is put below by me.

"Unfortunately", the library path seems correct.
There are two major issues I experienced when generating the environment:

1. GCC version: for newer gcc versions, there are compatibility issues as reported alreeady in NV_Small Ubuntu 18.04.3 Compilation Error #330 and Compilation error while building NVDLA CMOD #298. A proposed bugfix have been posted in Fix CMOD Makefile calling system GCC linker instead of user GCC #191. Unfortunately, this solved the cmod compilation, but not the testbenches compilation in my case. In case this is your issue, I would recommend you to install a legacy GCC version which produces no problem (e.g., I am working with 4.8.5).

2. Minor bug in the tmake's ready_for_test target: it happened to me that if I run tmake -build ready_for_test, it ends with an error message if I previously generate part of the outdir content through other tmake targets. Since ready_for_test already generates the vmod and the cmod too, I would suggest to clean your outdir and directly run such target.

With respect to your comment about verilator, I cannot help since I only used Synopsys tools so far.
However, other people already reported issues when working with such tool (e.g., #334)
