#Installing libXm.so.3:
 
sudo apt-get install libmotif3
 
 
#Set the env variables:
 
INSTALL_DIR=/opt
 
. $INSTALL_DIR/Xilinx/14.4/ISE_DS/settings32.sh
 
DISPLAY=:0
 
 
#starting the main app:
 
$INSTALL_DIR/Xilinx/14.4/ISE_DS/ISE/bin/lin/ise
 
When first starting <tt>ise</tt>, it will ask for a license. On Ubuntu, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is set to Xilinx-compiles stdc++ library, that doesn't allow chromium-browser to start.
 
I fixed this with:
 
cd /usr/lib/chromium-browser
 
mv chromium-browser chromium_browser_
 
cat > crhomium-browser <<EOF
 
#!/bin/bash
 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=
 
set > /tmp/set
 
/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser_ "$@"
 
EOF
 
chmod a+x chromium-browser.
 
This will of cause stop working after the next update of chromium-browser.
