Cannot find USB Blaster

I am running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 64bit. I have followed the instructions here:

http://www.altera.com/download/drivers/dri-usb_b-lnx.html

I have set the QUARTUS_ROOTDIR path like this:

export QUARTUS_ROOTDIR=/root/altera/13.0/qprogrammer

Yet, I still get this error when browsing for the USB blaster

"Error: QUARTUS_ROOTDIR is not set"

What else can I try?

Thanks.

    For the sake of helping others, I started DS-5 like this from the same terminal.

    export QUARTUS_ROOTDIR=/home/altera/13.0sp1/qprogrammer

    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/altera/13.0sp1/qprogrammer/linux

    /home/altera/13.0sp1/embedded/ds-5/bin/eclipse &

    After this it worked.
