I just tested xst 6.2.03i.  It returned 0 for success and 1 for
failure.

Greetings,

I am currently attempting to install Xilinx ISE 6.2i on a PC running
SuSE Linux 9.1 Pro, and would appreciate any hints or instructions
that you might share.  I am not getting very far on my own.  According
to the installation instructions, I load the CD and run the setup
script (as root) as shown below:

pc-vhdl5:/media/dvdrecorder # ./setup

The setup script fails after getting to the point of running xilsetup.
 The xilsetup error message is:

/media/dvdrecorder/xilsetup: relocation error:
/media/dvdrecorder/bin/lin/libwinsock44.so: symbol h_errno, version
GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference

************ setup done! ***************

I have confirmed that I do have libc.so.6 in the /lib directory (also
in /lib/i686 and /lib/tls).  However, I cannot verify if my libc.so.6
has a symbol h_errno exported.  I am running glibc version 2.3.3-97,
installed from the SuSE installation media, and with all current
patches applied.

Any help that you could provide would be appreciated.  (I understand
that Xilinx doesn't claim to support SuSE for ISE, so haven't called
their support yet.  Perhaps after the holiday weekend.)

Thanks.

Try setting the environment variable LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1.  This works 
for later versions of Red Hat but have not tried it on Suse.  This is 
needed for the installer and the applications in order to work with the 
newer.

Report back whether that does the trick or not.
