Record #2673
Product Family: Software

Product Line: M1 Graphical/General

Product Part: Design Manager

Product Version: 2.1i

Problem Title:
M1.3/M1.4/M1.5/2.1i: TIMING ANALYZER, XILINX DESIGN MANAGER, LBGUI, PROMFMTR, on Solaris: core dumps may be due to 97A Verilog XNLSPATH settings

Problem Description:
Urgency: standard

General description:

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

-On a Solaris 2.6 machine, you will receive: Segmentation Fault xilinx (core dumped)

-...whereas on a Solaris 2.7 machine, you'll recieve:
ld.so.1: dsgnmgr: fatal: libProjectHierarchy.so:
open failed: No such file or directory

Solution 1:

Append $XILINX/data to the XNLSPATH variable.

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

Solution 2:

The XNLSPATH libraries required by the 97A version
of Verilog-XL for Solaris are incompatible with the Xilinx
M1 graphical interface tools.

Workaround:

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
to see which library actually causes the problem.
