Thank you Tim for push me to give the try, I downloaded the PCB package
compiled and installed then compiled teardrops and now every thing
works.
I have a question for teardrops expert, I applied to my present job and
found that some pin did didn't get the teardrop because the trace wasn't
properly connected I corrected and then reentered the teardrops command.
I then turned off the pads layer and notice that several pins had a
double teardrop is this normal? or I caused by reentering the command
few times? 
Is there the way to remove the teardrops if extensive correction need to
be made on layout? if not I suppose that this operation must be done as
a very last step.
