dsgnmgr M1.1.1a: "Cannot find tool definition file..."


Record #1944

Problem Title:
dsgnmgr M1.1.1a: "Cannot find tool definition file..."


Problem Description:
Invoking the DSGNMGR causes the following Error message to be displayed:

"Cannot find tool definition file"

This is caused by installing the M1.1.1a Software in a directory path that
contains Upper-case letters.  For example: /usr/xilinx/M1.1.1a as the
installation path will cause this error to occur.


Solution 1:

Move the M1.1.1a 4kEX Pre-release to a directory path that does not contain
any upper-case letters in the directory names:

(For example: /usr/xilinx/m1.1.1a/).



Solution 2:

If the installation path cannot be changed, then a fake installation path, that
contains only lower case letters, can be linked to the actual, which may contain
 upper case letters.  For example:

If the software is installed in /usr/products/XILINX for example,
the work around would be to create a link to this directory using
lower case:

  ln -s /usr/products/XILINX /usr/products/xilinx
  setenv $XILINX /usr/products/xilinx
