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