I found that this library is in fact in the ISE directory $XILINX/bin/lin. I 
copied it into $XILINX_EDK/bin/lin (which is set to LD_LIBRARY_PATH) and it 
complained about another library, which I also found in the ISE tree. After 
I copied a few dozens of these libraries xps finally started, but with a 
blank window :(

Arghh... What am I missing here?...

I am posting the same question on Ubuntu forum in the "Xilinx on Ubuntu" 
thread:

Thanks,

The problem has been solved:

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$XILINX/bin/lin

Hi,
I am running Ubuntu Linux 7.04 in VMware Fusion on my MacBook.
I have described the whole process of installing and using Xilinx
ISE/EDK 9.1 software on the ML403 evaluation board.
