EDK 9.2i install issues in Linux

I know Xilinx does not officially support anything other than RedHat Enterprise Linux, yet so many people have installed it on other versions such as Ubuntu, Gentoo, etc. I am trying to install it on openSuse 10.3 and am having a very difficult time. The instructions I have say to run ./setup in the root of the CD. It runs but very quickly and no error messages are given either. Cd into /bin/ lin and try to run ./setup there and it runs quickly and nothing happens either. Try running ./_setup and get errors about missing libraries, so I manually add the path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Then try again and I get errors about the XILINX environment variable not being set. I have no clue what to set this too and have tried many different places. Right now I just have it pointing to /opt/Xilinx/.

Then finally the installer runs. Enter my registration ID and it says it is invalid. I think some variable or file is misplaced. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do? I am a student and have contacted my professor about this issue and detailed it with him but am not sure if he has opened a case with Xilinx support or if he will.

You need to have ISE (or Webpack) installed before you can install EDK. If that is not installed, then install it first. Then point the XILINX variable at that when you are installing EDK.

I had run previous versions of WebPack on Gentoo without too much trouble, but when it came time to replace that distribution I selected Fedora Core 7 hoping things would go even smoother due to its relation with Red Hat. Unfortunately I had the problem with the installation programs quitting without any errors. After searching a lot I found one instruction about changing the configuration for SELinux to allow everything. Doing that did indeed solve the problem.

Thank you both. It turns out that the way my school changed the DVDs caused some sort of issue. When using the actual EDK dvd the install went fine. Now I am running into a little bit of a different problem dealing with the cable connection in EDK. The cable connects and starts talking to the board but terminates very quickly. This is the output that I am getting:

I followed the instructions on the Gentoo wiki and used the 9.10 version of Windriver because of the kernel in opensuse. Will using the driver from here work:

Will it also allow me to use the board from Windows also?

Thanks again. Jay
