There is an error when compile a FPGA example vi

[yangxin1204]

I just run a simple example vi such as Digital.vi and then found an error "Unable to spawn compiler" in the compile server dialog box. It seems that the FPGA vi can not be compiled.
Could you give me some help?
I am a FPGA freshmen and feel really puzzled.
Thank you!!

Hi,

This is typically caused by an incorrect path to the Xilinx compiler in the FPGA Compile Server. The following steps should help:

• Verify that you have a Xilinx directory on your system (typically c:\NILVFPGA\Xilinx)
• Start the Compile Server from the Windows Start Menu
• Click the configure button on the window that appears
• Verify that the entered path is the correct path to the Xilinx compiler. If it is not the correct path, enter the correct one
• Click OK
• Attempt to compile again

Let me know if this doesn't fix the problem

Thanks Mike,
I checked the directory according to the steps. Both the path and the configure are correct. Let me express the problem more specifically:
1.Start to compile, the client displays�Successfully started compile�
2.Several seconds later, the server displays�Unable to spawn compiler�
3.Then the client displays"Board clock of 40MHz Met:No(0MHz)"
we checked the xflow.log file and it shows CompileServer got an error when calling Xilinx compile tools.

It seems that the error is caused by inexsitence of file toplevel_gen.prj.

Could you give me more help?Thank you:)

Best reguards,
