Admittedly they recommend RedHat, but I can't change the distribution just like that. Anyway, I follow the instructions: cd /media/cdrom ./setup I get the following error message : Wind/U Error (294): Unable to install Wind/U ini file (/media/cdrom/data/WindU). See the Wind/U manual for more details on the ".WindU" file and the "WINDU" environment variable. After a while, a window appears saying "Warning : no data files were found on CD image. The installation will be terminated". When I press ok, the installation finishes. The funny thing is that the directory "data" ((/media/cdrom/data/) on the cdrom is empty on the CD I've got. Can you help ? Shouldn't the "data" directory on the CD have something in it ?

I haven't tried root, maybe it'll work :-) Thanks for your help.

We got the same error with Debian. The problem was that the setup tries to connect to the X-Server with TCP-sockets. However most distributions have disabled this function. Search the line where your X server is started and remove the "-nolisten tcp" option. And think about some firewalling because it's a potential security leak ;-) > After a while, a window appears saying "Warning : no data files were found > on CD image. > The installation will be terminated". > When I press ok, the installation finishes. I don't know that error, perhaps it disappears when WindU works. CU Felix -- "Let's face it. The FPGA companies are really software companies that happen to have very expensive dongles."
