Does Platform Designer work on Ubuntu 18.04?
I have Quartus Prime Standard Edition 19.1 working on Ubuntu 18.04. I am trying to use the platform designer. When I try to generate the HDL files, I get an error preceded by some info which are related to Quartus not finding certain Perl libraries which are already installed:
"Can't locate Getopt/Long.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Getopt::Long module)"
I am wondering if Platform Designer is supported on Ubuntu.
If it is, how can I fix this issue?

Hi Dina,
Are you using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS? (Ubuntu 18.04 LTSis supported version for Quartus Prime Standard Edition 19.1)
If yes, please try to reinstall the Quartus and check.
if no, use Operating System Support for Intel FPGA Software Version 19.1

I have this exact same problem: Ubuntu 18.04LTS and Quartus 19.1. I have installed the prerequisites per the installation document located at https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/manual/archives/quartus_install-19-1.pdf .
Qsys fails with this message on a simple PIO:
Can't locate Getopt/Long.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Getopt::Long module) (@INC contains: /opt/Intel/QuartusPrimeStandard_19.1/quartus/sopc_builder/bin/europa /opt/Intel/QuartusPrimeStandard_19.1/quartus/sopc_builder/bin /opt/Intel/QuartusPrimeStandard_19.1/quartus/../ip/altera/sopc_builder_ip/common /opt/Intel/QuartusPrimeStandard_19.1/quartus/../ip/altera/sopc_builder_ip/altera_avalon_pio /tools/perl/5.28.1/linux64/lib/site_perl/5.28.1/x86_64-linux /tools/perl/5.28.1/linux64/lib/site_perl/5.28.1 /tools/perl/5.28.1/linux64/lib/5.28.1/x86_64-linux /tools/perl/5.28.1/linux64/lib/5.28.1) at /opt/Intel/QuartusPrimeStandard_19.1/quartus/../ip/altera/sopc_builder_ip/altera_avalon_pio/generate_rtl.pl line 18.
This design didn't have any problem with version 18.1.

The Problem also appear on Arch Linux using Quartus Lite 19.1 . The same design worked with 18.1 flawlessly!

Hi Dina,
Is this replicable for any new projects in your system environment??
Please try to reinstall and check.
If it does not work, We have to install the latest Quartus version and try.
Based on the information you provided, we can identify if it is a bug.

Yes, I tried for different projects and I get the same warning followed by generation failed error. However, it works fine on a Windows 10 PC.
I tried reinstalling and it still didn't work. I have the latest version of the Quartus Prime Standard Edition (19.1).

I already have these libraries installed, except for lib32bz2-1.0 which I cannot find. Quartus itself works fine, the only problem arises when I try to generate HDL files using platform Designer.

The problem exists within the included perl distribution being compiled with the wrong paths!
Full error (with additional line breaks):
Can't locate Getopt/Long.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Getopt::Long module) ( @INC contains: /opt/altera/19.1/quartus/sopc_builder/bin/europa /opt/altera/19.1/quartus/sopc_builder/bin /opt/altera/19.1/quartus/../ip/altera/sopc_builder_ip/common /opt/altera/19.1/quartus/../ip/altera/sopc_builder_ip/altera_avalon_pio /tools/perl/5.28.1/linux64/lib/site_perl/5.28.1/x86_64-linux /tools/perl/5.28.1/linux64/lib/site_perl/5.28.1 /tools/perl/5.28.1/linux64/lib/5.28.1/x86_64-linux /tools/perl/5.28.1/linux64/lib/5.28.1 ) at /opt/altera/19.1/quartus/../ip/altera/sopc_builder_ip/altera_avalon_pio/generate_rtl.pl line 18.It seems like the perl distribution points to the wrong directory because the library is located at /opt/altera/19.1/quartus/linux64/perl/lib/5.28.1/Getopt/Long.pm
I've found a bunch references in the perl distribution pointing to the wrong directory ( https://pastebin.com/wfUKcSjq )
A "fix" seems to be to link to the system perl executeable: http://www.armadeus.org/wiki/index.php?title=Quartus_installation_on_Linux#Perl_Getopt::Long

I figured out the problem. Quartus was unable to locate the latest Perl library files so I had to modify the PERL5LIB environment variable to add the new path.

Posting this here for the next Ubuntu 20.4 user who still has problems after trying the environment variable solution. http://www.armadeus.org/wiki/index.php?title=Quartus_installation_on_Linux#Perl_Getopt::Long
