Re: [casper] Short Error Message from "gen_xps_files at 328"

Hi all,

Just to close this item.
I finally downgraded libc6 in ubuntu using aptitude (no apt-get)
If you try 'aptitude remove libc6' you got a number of options for
fixing dependencies before to remove. 
Among those options is the downgrade of libc6

a long workaround... but worked!

cheers,

r

Hi there,

I have this same problem, but I haven't been able to downgrade glibc in 
ubuntu.
apt-get does not have a downgrade command and yum (just installed) does 
not see ubuntu's repositories...


Does anyone knows how to downgrade glibc using apt-get or how to make 
yum work in ubuntu?


thanks!

Ricardo.

I see! I needed to lengthen the list of
packages to prevent yum from removing
important packages. Thus, I needed to
include the five packages

   glibc glibc-common glibc-devel
   glibc-headers nscd

in the list of packages. That worked.

When I try that, yum warns me that 14
dependent packages will be removed.
The packages include gcc stuff.
Should my yum line include all the
packages that /var/log/yum.log shows
were updated on December 12, 2011?
(The updates were done by the CentOS
updater that announces updates as
they become available.)

Thank you. I thought the model was
so simple that it should be okay.
Did you compile after downgrading
your glibc? Does it also compile
with the updated glibc?

Hi Ron and all.  I just tried to run your example, and I got errors.  I

Hi Ron,

I used yum's 'downgrade' command:

$sudo yum downgrade glibc glibc-common

This should downgrade to the next highest version.

Re: [casper] Short Error Message from "gen_xps_files at 328"

[ron]

How do you safely roll back glibc? I
would like to try your fix but also
want to avoid breaking any system
setups. I am using CentOS. Is there
a way to have Xilinx and Matlab
software use a rolled-back glibc but
allow other software to continue
using the current version?

I tried rolling back glibc and that did fix the XST error issue, but other
issues are now surfacing so i've opened a 'Webcase' with Xilinx and will
hopefully hear back from them soon.

May mail seems to have bounced that I sent.  In any case, there is a bug
in xst that double-frees some memory, triggering glibc to throw a memory
exception and scream and die.  We rolled back our glibc and it fixed the
problem.  Well, it masks the problem...

Sorry about the lack of info!

Hi Ron,

I've tried to compile your design (and my own) and have been having the
same issue.  This seems to have started when our sysadmins performed the
Redhat update and now i'm unable to generate even the simplest designs.

I'll try to roll back one of our machines and see if that helps.   I'll
also be putting in a ticket with Xilinx.

Re: [casper] Short Error Message from "gen_xps_files at 328"

I need to check some logs, but I do
think somebody did some  of the
CentOS updates that were announced
"available" by the CentOS system
updater. I don't see the reference
to the glibc problem in recent
CASPER email.

Hi Ron.  This sounds strangely like the glibc problem I mentioned last
week.  Did any messages from the OS come up in the window you started the
matlab session from?

You might check to see if anyone updated your glibc lately.

I'll try your mdl tomorrow and see what happens.  I don't have access to a
toolset right now.

Re: [casper] Short Error Message from "gen_xps_files at 328"

[ron]

I used a modified version of
gen_xps_files to discover what error
code was being returned from
xlGenerateButton and found the code
was the integer 1 which I thought
indicated that the xlGenerateButton
was canceled. How could the function
be canceled? I don't think I did
anything to cancel it.
