Record #2479

Product Family:  Software

Product Line:  Merged Core

Problem Title:
M1.3 install: cp: cannot create /tmp/xilinx/./perl.sol: Permission
denied



Problem Description:
Keywords: install, permission, perl.sol

Urgency: standard

Problem Description:
User got following message after invoked 'install'

cp: cannot create /tmp/xilinx/./perl.sol: Permission denied
Could not copy <./perl.sol> to /tmp directory.

This is typically caused by an aborted install by another user.
The directory /tmp/xilinx is created during install in order to
store temperoray files.  The aborted install did not properly
remove this temporary directory in the /tmp directory in the
system which can not be overwriten without proper permissions.


Solution 1:


  Remove the /tmp/xilinx directory.

rm -r /tmp/xilinx

Note: You must be the owner of the directory or loggesd in a root (su) to remove
 it.
