How to install Xilinx ISE 14.7 for Ubuntu 19.10

4.2k Views Asked by At

I have to work with a Spartan 3E family FPGA, my problem is that latest versions of Xilinx ISE does not support this boards. I made a quick search on google and I found that the last versión that supports Spartan 3E is 14.7 so I tried to install this one.

I'm working on Ubuntu 19.10, the Xilinx IDE I donwloaded was the 14.7 full installer for Linux from here.

Following the steps from this guide to install the .tar, in the step when you run the xsetup using

sudo ./xsetup

I get this error:

libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried to install the libncourses.so.5 following some guides but I always get a 404 not found error when I try to download those libraries from the internet.

Could someone please help?
