fpga_editor missing libXm.so

[mzandrew]

When I try to open the post place & route implementation in fpga_editor from the tools menu, I get this error:

/opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/ISE/bin/lin64/_fpga_editor: error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I can't "apt install -y libXm" (permission denied) nor can I sudo that (command not found) nor can I su (don't know the root password for this docker image as-built).

Any suggestions on how to install libXm?

[mzandrew]

Solution was to log in to the docker instance from another terminal as root like so:

docker exec --user root -it <container_id> bash

(getting the running container_id from docker ps) and then do:

apt update && apt install -y libxm4

But then the problem is that fpga_editor complains about:

/opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/ISE/bin/lin64/_fpga_editor: error while loading shared libraries: libXp.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So now I am stuck on the fact that I can't find a match for that via dpkg --search libXp in ubuntu20.04

@mzandrew, there are lot of libraries missing to run fpga_editor.

I successfully run it with the following patch:

diff --git a/Dockerfile b/Dockerfile

It works, but anyway you got the following warnings:

Warning!!: XKEYSYMDB environment variable is set to a wrong location

Please give it a try and provide any feedback about it.

When I try to open the fpga_editor with the patch, I get the following:

Additionally, if I try to open the fpga_editor from within ISE (Implement Design -> Place and Route -> View/Edit Routed Design (FPGA Editor)), I get:

I was unable to reproduce the issue, building the image from scratch with this Dockerfile https://gist.github.com/vmunoz82/1abb46e007768868704203879f4d2489, it is just the main Dockerfile of this repo, with the patch applied
