Running Xilinx Command line Tools - XST does not work

Question

I'm currently working on a project that students can hand in their xilinx projects via e-mail and i will Synthesis, Place and Route and generate a bitstream which then should be uploaded to an FPGA.

So first things first. I installed the ISE Tools on my Linux machine and now i'm trying to run xilinx's commands from the command line. But when i'm trying to run xst it says:

-bash: /opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/ISE/bin/lin/xst: No such file or directory

Does anyone have experience with creating scripts to automate the xilinx sythesis processes? Appreciate any help :)

I had similar issue - problem probably is you are starting 32bit version of binaries on 64bit system. Try:

/opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/ISE/bin/lin64/xst
