Record #6910

Problem Title:

2.1i Install: Updating a 1.5i solaris install to 2.1i will error out.


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:
If you select an existing 1.5i directory as the location for the new 2.1i software on solaris, the installer will pause (see solution 6851) and default to what was in the 1.5i tree. Once the installer attempts to remove files it will error out because of the permissions set in the Xilinx tree.


Solution 1:

Change permissions of the 1.5i Xilinx tree before a 2.1i install is attempted.

chmod -R 777 XILINX
