Installing Xilinx 6.1 under Linux

I have copied the whole CD to hard disk first and started the setup in that directory. It worked on Suse8.0. If you can find out which program causes the message (run the script with "sh -x setup"), you can add a "strace " in front of that command.

The same for me. The installation images are in idata.

Thaks for your suggestion, I've tried copying it on the HD, thinking it was trying to write to "data", but I got the same error message, but with a different path (/tmp/xilinx since that's where I copied it).

The problem is that, in my setup script, it sets the variable WUHOME as /media/cdrom/data and then it fails, not surprisingly since /media/cdrom/data is empty !!!

I'm tempted to change the setup script so that it points to idata and not data.

The shell trace shows the same behavior for "my" version... But I think I know why it fails: If I try to start the setup as root, I get the same error. It works as a "regular" user... The cause seems to be a problem with the X-server access of the windu-stuff.

know

It

Unfortunately, I was doing it as a regular user, not root. I haven't tried root, maybe it'll work :-)

Thanks for your help.

We got the same error with Debian. The problem was that the setup tries to connect to the X-Server with TCP-sockets. However most distributions have disabled this function. Search the line where your X server is started and remove the "-nolisten tcp" option. And think about some firewalling because it's a potential security leak ;-)

I don't know that error, perhaps it disappears when WindU works.
