On Quartus-lite (free) software on Centos7, the previous message (MGLS_LICENSE_FILE points to the ...) was due to missing 32bits libraries.

The problem has been solved using:

1) yum install glibc.i686

2) yum install libX11.i686 --setopt=protected_multilib=false

3) yum install libXext.i686

4) yum install libXft.i686 --setopt=protected_multilib=false

5) yum install ncurses-libs.i686

Hello,

I was experiencing this same problem and thus getting the:

"Error: Can't launch ModelSim-Altera Simulation software -- make sure the software is properly installed and the environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE or MGLS_LICENSE_FILE points to the correct license file. "

error message while trying to run the Modelsim Altera simulator which comes with the Quartus 16.1 standard edition.

The solution proposed in the above post:

"1) yum install glibc.i686 2) yum install libX11.i686 --setopt=protected_multilib=false 3) yum install libXext.i686 4) yum install libXft.i686 --setopt=protected_multilib=false 5) yum install ncurses-libs.i686 "

worked fine for me!

Thank you!!

😀 👍
