ISE 7.1 on Fedora Core 3

There is a simple work around for the libcurl problem with the 7.1 installer, just link the newer libcurl library to libcurl.so.2. This will allow you to install 7.1.

ln -s /usr/lib/libcurl.so.3.0.0 /usr/local/lib/libcurl.so.2

Once installed the CLI tools work fine however the ISE GUI has a number of problems. The first thing that happens is an RPC error,

Cannot register service: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused unable to register (registryProg, registryVers, tcp) Wind/U Error (248): Failed to connect to the registry on server wasp.bjrosen.com Cannot register service: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused OLE API Function OleInitialize is not currently implemented. Further warnings will be suppressed

I'm guessing that this is a kernel issue, FC3 uses 2.6.10 while RHEL3 uses the ancient 2.4.21 kernel. Does anyone know a work around for this, is there something that needs to be compiled into the 2.6.10 kernel?

More seriously the file browser doesn't work, you get a path name to long error if you try to access anything that is outside of the local directory. However you can work around this by typing in the explicit paths to open files. If you open an existing project things work fine. I use HDLmaker to build my Xilinx projects, the 7.1 tools work fine with HDLmaker built projects.

You need portmap installed and started. Then the browser will work fine.

Portmap is installed but it's dead. When I do a status on portmap I get

Executing /etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap status ..

portmap dead but subsys locked

Any ideas about how to get portmap to work?

This smacks of an issue with Bristol's Wind/U Windows emulation on Unix/Linux

If I'm not mistaken, you may need to do more research on how Bristol's libraries are resolving their linking issues. 'ldd' and 'nm' may help you on this path. I don't think it has anything to do with the kernel, but then again I don't know for sure since I don't know from a source code point of view.

way back when i was using bristol, process 'scm' had to be online for OLE to do anything. i don't know what's going on today, or if bristol elimated the scm process (which I had heard from the engineering dept) in favor of other methods.

another suggestion you could use is install on a RHEL3 system and do some comparisons process and other wise.

i don't know why you want FC3 to work so bad, since you will probably spend a lot of time trying to get it to work while your design schedule lags.

for some reason too you've fixated on the "kernel". you may want to run the kernel config utility to see what the hell is really in the kernel, and make it less of a mystery. you will find it just adds support for new hardware devices, a few file systems and the like, and nothing to do with the issues you are having.

also consider running strace so you can see your software stack.

I had the same problem and I was not able to start portmap from prompt, but I resolved the problem using the Gnome tool which manages process and daemon. In the Italian version it's in a menu called "Services", you can try to start portmap here, it seems to work. And the browser problems are resolved too (just set firefox or mozilla instead of netscape in "Preferences" -> "Browser" in ISE environment). Bye!
