M1.3/M1.4: TIMING ANALYZER, XILINX DESIGN MANAGER, LBGUI, PROMFMTR, on Solaris: core dumps may be due to 97A Verilog XNLSPATH settings


Record #2673

Product Family:  Software

Product Line:  FPGA Core

Problem Title:
M1.3/M1.4: TIMING ANALYZER, XILINX DESIGN MANAGER, LBGUI, PROMFMTR, on
Solaris: core dumps may be due to 97A Verilog XNLSPATH settings



Problem Description:
Keywords: core dump, design manager, timing analyzer, timingan,
dsgnmgr, solaris, prom file formatter, logiblox

Urgency: standard

General description:
The M1 Design Manager, Timing Analyzer, and other GUI-based
tools may core dump on Solaris 2.5.1 systems if an
XNLSPATH variable is set to an incompatible set of libraries.

For example, the XNLSPATH libraries required by the 97A version
of Verilog-XL for Solaris are incompatible with the Xilinx M1.3
and M1.4 graphical interface tools.

Reference #: 17036


Solution 1:


Try unsetting the XNLSPATH variable, then restarting the
GUI application which is showing the core dump problem.  If
the application does not core dump, you can
try adding back libraries to this variable one at a time
and see which library actually causes the problem.



Solution 2:

Append $XILINX/data to the XNLSPATH variable.

setenv XNLSPATH ${XNLSPATH}:${XILINX}/data
