but there were incompatibilities with ISE.
Try ISE 8.1 or Quartus.

You said it, I didn't.

Hint on any Xilinx XST, comment out the divide routines.
You can substitute the NR_ (Newton Raphson) ones from the float_alg_pkg
for the divide routine if you really need it.

hi i don't understand this answer.....in my university, it has only the
ise foundation 6.3i, it is possible to order from xilinx through my
university a floating point package with a recent version of ise
foundation?and will my design work with this specifications?

The floating point type looks like this:

type float is array (INTEGER range <>) of STD_LOGIC;
subtype float32 is is float (8 downto -23);

ISE foundation 6.3 can now work with a negative index
ISE 8.1 can.
