ISE Webpack, Cable Drivers not installing for Debian Wheezy

Question

Trying to install ISE Webpack with cable drivers yield the following error during installation:
Driver installation failed. Please check the /.xinstall/install.log file for more information on the cause of the installation failure.
Since drivers are not installed, attempting to launch iMPACT later on gives:
WARNING:iMPACT - Module windrvr6 is not loaded. Please reinstall the cable drivers. See Answer Record 22648.

What are the steps required to fix the drivers on Debian Wheezy?
Thanks in advance
Andreas Frisch

Answer 1

I'm a bit surprised that the only supported Linux distros are commercial (costing money) distros!
What's the point in providing Linux support for your tools then. The overwhelming majority of Linux users use free distros like Mint, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora etc.
I had exactly the same problem and now I'm forced  to BUY a Linux distro in order to build PetaLinux?
Anyway, a) are there any plans to support these tools on the more popular (free) distros? and b) Does anyone know if we can use CentOS 6, since that's supposed to be a community (free) clone of the supported (but not free) RHEL 6 distro?
Anyone know of an 'unsuported' Linux distro that 'works' anyway (especially for the cable drivers)?
It LOOKS as if that one cable driver install issue is the only thing preventing us from using a boat load of other distros. Can't this be fixed?
