xilinx/) that in 10.1 the driver is prepackaged. I enabled the environment variable(XIL_IMPACT_USE_LIBUSB to 1) and tried to reinstall the driver. This resulted in the same error as before:

If you have an USB cable, the driver probably doesn't need to be installed any longer. Did you actually try run run impact with XIL_IMPACT_USE_LIBUSB set?

If you run with the LD_PRELOAD method at least no driver needs to be installed.
