The installer will take a lot of time downloading the stuff (at least it did for me, and it wasn't for the lack of bandwidth at my side).
#Altera quartus ii 64 bit install
Enter ~/altera as the install directory and /tmp to hold the temp files.Then, the script will ask whether it's ok to run the installer ("OK to execute.The script will ask whether it's ok to extract stuff, answer yes.Execute the following: sh altera_ -confirm It needs to be extracted, but not yet run. Now, switch to the directory where you downloaded the Altera installer script.Extract the deb: mkdir deb-extract & dpkg -x libxi6_1.2.1-2ubuntu1_b deb-extract.Download the Karmic version of libXi for 32-bit.Download the installer from Altera website (it's a shell script containing a compressed binary installer).So, step by step guide to getting the blob to work on Lucid 64-bit: altera_installer_gui: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib32/libXi.so: undefined symbol: XESetWireToEventCookie Here's the exact error that happens when running the installer directly: Also, the installer is a 32-bit binary (which is to be expected). It wants to use a version of libXi (X input client library) that contains a function ( XESetWireToEventCookie ) which isn't available in 6.1 version of the library anymore (one that Lucid uses). The main problem is in the installer itself. Things are looking up finally.Īs is common with other commercial/closed softwares, Quartus only supports a limited set of target distributions (the RPM -based usual suspects), so getting stuff running on Lucid on 64-bit contained some surprises (however, not as many as I feared when I started). So, congratulations to Altera on their first Linux version of Quartus. Last time, Altera didn't really support Linux in any way and using windows to run the huge blob of software (Quartus II v7.0) didn't seem like a good idea. Had some spare time at hand and decided to revisit the idea of doing something with an FPGA devkit that I have (Altera Cyclone II, basic devkit).
