Problem Title:
2.1i Install: Permission denied when updating a 2.1i install
Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard
General Description:
Install is setting the permissions on installed files with permissions other than those specified by
the user's umask. If
an install is done with the umask set to 777, but the permissions throughout the XILINX tree have be
en retained
from the file permissions on the CD. This caused us problems when trying to install additional soft
ware in a XILINX
tree that was installed by another member of the group.
Solution 1:
Use chmod to change permissions of the XILINX tree before the update is attempted.
example:
chmod -R 777 XILINX
