generation problem SOPC builder

Hi,

When trying to generate a system with SOPC builder, the following error occurs :

# 2004.11.15 16:01:09 (*) running generator program for cpu_0

can't open perl script "files\texlive\xemtex\perl\lib": no such file or directory

error: generator program

for module 'cpu_0' did not run successfully.

Even after reinstalling the tools, it is still not possible to generate the system.

This is what I did :

1. Installing niosII kit, everything ok

2. Installing niosI software development flow to do some modifications on older projects. Software modifications could be done.

3. trying to regenerate a NiosII system not ok

4. remove all altera related software and reinstall --> still not ok

anyone some ideas?

    OK problem solved.

    It seems that I installed also a LaTex generator (TeTex), and this program gives an interaction with some shell variables in the SOPC builder system generation.

    By removing TeTex, it works again. But how can I generate pdf's now from my source code documentation?

    I feel a bit guilty by bothering you guys with this stupid kind of problems. But I was completely desperate at that moment, you know, when nothing seems to work anymore and everyone in the neighbourhood comes around with questions, ...

    BTW: Doxygen is a superb documentation generator.

    Stefaan,

    If you install a complete version of Cygwin, you can use one of the programs that comes with the psutils package.... ps2pdf. Of course, if you're already running on a _real_ OS (say Linux), then you likely have these utils, already.

    It has always worked, for exactly the same purpose, for me.

    slacker,

    How to install the complkete cygwin?

    Do it first, and than install the altera tools?

    Can it be done after installing the altera tools?

    Do I need to modify statrup scripts and so?

    I'm really a dummy if it comes to Linux, or Cygwin, ... I use it, that's all.
