Using the Xilinx ISE Webpack with Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake)

This applies to the Webpack 8.1i with Service pack 3? = 8.1.03i (Application Version I.27)

Install the following packages

libstdc 5-3.3-pic
- without this package the installer will abort with /tmp/foobar/platform/lin/xilsetup: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc .so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
libmotif3
- without this package programs using a GUI will abort with error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
portmap
- to fix the Wind/U Error (248): Failed to connect to the registry on server foobar - Cannot register service: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused error (will work without but needs more time to start)

run . settings.sh
- otherwise the libs won't be found
start the ISE with: ise
warning symbols during the compile process are normal (even if no warnings did occur at all)
if you see an error symbol without an error try it again after restarting the ise
