Design Manager M1: fatal relocation error: symbol not found: _ex_keylock


Record #2559

Product Family:  Software

Product Line:  FPGA Core

Problem Title:
Design Manager M1: fatal relocation error: symbol not found: _ex_keylock


Problem Description:
Keywords: fatal, relocation, _ex_keylock

Urgency: Hot

General Description: When invoking the Design Manager or the
LogiBlox graphical interface tools on Solaris platforms, the
tools will fail to load and print the following error:

ld.so.1:lbgui:fatal:relocation error: symbol not found:
_ex_keylock

The problem is found in early versions of SunOS 5.4 that
contained an incomplete version of libC.so.5 -- the
definition for _ex_keylock was missing.


Solution 1:

$XILINX/bin/sol/libC.so.5._ex_keylock file contains a fix
for this problem.  Rename it to "libC.so.5".  Make sure that
$XILINX/bin/sol appears in LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
variable ahead of any other directory which contains a
"libC.so.5".

$XILINX/bin/sol MUST be in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH anyway.

Although Xilinx has tested this library it is possible that
it may not work on all systems.  You can approach Sun for
a good copy of "libC.so.5".
