I have Xilinx FPGA tools installed from the Xilinx CDROM. I can go to /usr/xilinx/bin and execute the isc binary with Konqueror fine. File permissions on the binary, and all of the files in the directory are rwxrwxrwxt with owner root. I create a link on the desktop to this binary and it will not execute and no message in the log files. The link shows the user as part of group root. changing the permissions to the same as the the file does nothing. Tried many combinations of the permissions in the link to no avail. Why is this happening and how can I create a desktop link to execute the program?

Can you run the program as user or root only? If root only, then you might try adding "kdesu" in front of the command to run the program in the Link icon you created. end of line Lee
