Xilinx 6.1i Tools and Newer Redhat Linux OSes

Dec 11, 2003 10 Replies

Hi,



does anyone know if the Xilinx 6 tools work on Red Hat Enterprise or Fedora?



I see this note on the Xilinx web site:



RedHat 7.3 and 8.0 are supported for the 6.1i Release.



RedHat 9.0 supports the Linux environment variable "LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1" which allows version 9.0 to run applications that are compatible with previous versions of RedHat. This environment variable will allow ISE 6.1i to run, but it is not supported or tested by Xilinx.



Thanks, Gus



Should work fine, I'm using Mandrake 9.2.

I get the following error when I run the GUI setup.

[root@quark cdrom]# ./setup Wind/U Error (294): Unable to install Wind/U ini file (/mnt/cdrom/data/WindU). See the Wind/U manual for more details on the ".WindU" file and the "WINDU" environment variable. Wind/U X-toolkit Error: wuDisplay: Can't open display ************ setup done! ***************

Try running as root when you do the install.

I was running as root. The first time logged in as me then did a su to root in a command window. The second time, I logged out, and re-logged in as root. Same problem though.

Couldn't get the setup program to run under Fedora 1. But it is running under Redhat Enterprise WS 3.

You haven't set the $DISPLAY environment variable to point to a valid X server.

something like "export DISPLAY=myxserver:0.0"

where myxserver is the name of the computer that is running the X display.

I am getting a glibc error when tryin to install under Fedora. Does anyone know a way around that? Wilbur

Have you set the environment variable "LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1"?

-Gus

Yes, and then it just hangs, taking about 80% of the cpu and does nothing.
