Xilinx EDK 9.2 problems under Centos 5

Dec 27, 2007 2 Replies

I installed Centos (linux) 5.1, Xilinx Webpack 9.2i.04, and EDK 9.2.02.



However, when i launch 'xpsgui', I see a bunch of warning messages in my shell-window:



QPainter::begin: Cannot paint null pixmap QPainter::setPen: Will be reset by begin() QPainter::begin: Cannot paint null pixmap QPainter::setWorldMatrix: Will be reset by begin() QPainter::setWorldMatrix: Will be reset by begin() QPainter::setPen: Will be reset by begin() QPainter::setFont: Will be reset by begin() QPainter::setWorldMatrix: Will be reset by begin() QPainter::setWorldMatrix: Will be reset by begin() QPainter::setFont: Will be reset by begin() QPainter::setWorldMatrix: Will be reset by begin() QPainter::setWorldMatrix: Will be reset by begin() QPainter::setPen: Will be reset by begin() QPainter::setFont: Will be reset by begin() QPainter::setPen: Will be reset by begin() QPainter::setFont: Will be reset by begin() QPainter::setPen: Will be reset by begin() QPainter::setFont: Will be reset by begin() QPainter::setPen: Will be reset by begin() QPainter::setFont: Will be reset by begin() QPainter::setPen: Will be reset by begin() QPainter::setFont: Will be reset by begin() QPainter::setWorldMatrix: Will be reset by begin() QPainter::setWorldMatrix: Will be reset by begin() QPainter::setFont: Will be reset by begin()



When the XPS window comes up, the toolbars are missing a bunch of buttons. Sometimes, I can 'mouse over' (move the mouse cursor) over the toolbar, and a text-tip message pops-up. I can still click the invisible buttons, but for some the generated-IPs, the configuration options don't work (the checkboxes that should be there simply aren't in the config window.)



This is a problem, because I'm trying to rebuild a petalogix-uclinux distribution from sources, and I need to use XPS to generate a working hardware-platform. (Can't seem to do that under Linux.) I suppose I could do this under a Windows/XP machine, then tar everything over to the Centos 5.1 machine, but I'd really like to get the EDK working on Centos 5.1.



The same thing happens on both the 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x86_64) Centos 5.1 distributions. Each time, I selected every package to install (including all optional ones.) Any ideas?



Try running just 'xps', rather than 'xpsgui'.

Wow, don't I feel stupid. That was *exactly* the problem -- thank you!
