2.1i_sp2 Design Manager: Hang / Segmentation Fault on Solaris 2.7 (SunOS 5.7) from Service Pack 2 environment



Problem Description:
Urgency: HOT

General Description:

2.1i_sp2 Design Manager will either hang or seg fault, producing the
following msg:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

on Solaris 2.7 (SunOS 5.7) environment, but will boot up when invoked
from a Solaris 2.6 (SunOS 5.6) machine.


Solution 1:

NOTE: This issue does not seem to be occurring on all systems

Solaris machines that are being upgraded with patches for Y2k
compliance ( from Solaris 2.6 -> Solaris 2.7), are in certain cases
experiencing the Segmentation Fault described above.

This issue is addressed by installing the SP3 release (or higher), available at:

http://support.xilinx.com/support/techsup/sw_updates/

For additional debugging hints (or if the above does not apply),
please reference (Xilinx Solution 1997)
