I use Xilinx tools in both Windows and Linux and they work fine. However the Linux version I use is at work and was installed by someone else on one of Xilinx's supported distros (Red Hat Enterprise). So I can't help you with your Linux issues other than to assure you that ISE runs well on the supported distros.
However, two other points that may be useful. You do not have to simulate anything in ISE in order to synthesize and build. I have used Xilinx tools for around 13 years, have simulated every design and have never once used the simulator that Xilinx offers.
Secondly, if you are trying to synthesize the Hello World module you showed earlier in the thread, you had better stop now and try a different file. Nothing in that file is synthesizeable. In other words, the file does not describe anything that could be built in an FPGA.
If that was not your file, perhaps you should show it. And it may be a good idea to track down a good FPGA tutorial since you are a beginner at this. You may find one at fpga4fun
