I successfully installed Webpack 10.1 on OpenSuse 11 64-bit.
Two things required for success: (well, possibly 3)

(1) 32-bit compatibility libraries. I think the thing that sold me on
OpenSuse 11 was the installation process: it asked me if I wanted the
32-bit compat libs. Forewarned about Webpack, all I had to do was say
yes. If they aren't available on your dist, you may have to use another
dist. (OpenSuse 11 isn't supported but that hasn't been a problem; even
opening webcases that are pretty clearly not OS-dependent)

(2) I edited the setup script. Where it detected installing on a 64-bit
system, it would error and exit if the 64-bit version was missing. Now
it warns and installs the 32-bit version instead.

--------------- Original: ------------------------
	# 64 bit
        if [ -f $setuploc/bin/lin64/setup ]
        then
            $setuploc/bin/lin64/setup 
        else
            echo "Product is not supported on \"$platform $machineType\"
platform."
        fi
-------------- As revised: -----------------------
	# 64 bit
        if [ -f $setuploc/bin/lin64/setup ]
        then
            $setuploc/bin/lin64/setup 
        else
            echo "Product is not officially supported on \"$platform
$machineType\" platform."
            $setuploc/bin/lin/setup 
        fi
--------------------------------------------------

(3) Not tested because I upgraded to the full ISE first:
You probably need to install the libusb driver from
http://www.rmdir.de/~michael/xilinx/
to run Impact and drive the parallel (or USB) to JTAG cable.

Check if your distribution has 32-bit compatibility packages which can
be installed.

I am trying to install the linux webpack ISE (either 9.2 or 10.1)
on a 64 bit linux (ScientificLinux 5.2) system.

It seems designed not to install.  I tried it with the linux32 command,
and even with /bin/csh copied from a 32 bit system.

64 bit processors are cheap enough now (this one with the motherboard
was less than $200) that it doesn't make sense to disallow it.

One post I saw mentions libuuid.so, but mine seems to have
the that library, so I don't believe that is the problem.
