Hopefully this information might save someone else some time.
If you're using ISE6.2 under Linux, and want to use an old programming
cable, such as the Parallel Cable III (DLC5). you need to compile your
own Linux drivers.

Here's a few pointers.
Make sure that the version of kernel you are running, matches the kernel
source you have installed. The xilinx makefile uses uname -r to find
this out.
So do uname -r at a command line, and check that the kernel files in
/usr/src match this and the files in /lib/modules match too.
If they don't, try doing an update of your system, updating both kernel
and kernel source (I'm a SuSE user, and in this case use the online
update). Then REBOOT, this makes sure that the version uname returns
matches that installed.
Hope this helps
