Error: quartus_map ended unexpectedly

Causes problems in Quartus 11 as well, when using SOPC_BUILDER or QSYS to add custom components. The error messages will complain about missing TOP_LEVEL_MODULE or multiple modules when actual quartus_map writes /etc/issue into the PLATFORM tag in a temporary xml file. When the next stage parses the xml to create the interface it barfs on the screen clear commands.

Holy cow this bug just wasted a lot of my time, thank you so much for posting about it.

Is it archLinux i686 ou x86_64 ? Mine is i686.

Thanks for the answer, I did the echo... it was just that it didn't help, so I thought I haven't understood, or had missed something. It seems I have already solved it by adding release information to the file /etc/arch-release, which is void for kind of arch philosophical reasons, and I don't get why, but quartus seems to need it. Have you had any other problem with quartus so far?. I'm in my way to install modelsim and nios and I'm the only guy who went nuts and installed arch when everyone else uses fedora (tought I guess it'll pay in the end). Thanks!.

Google translate is your friend (Do not work anymore because of the https...).

echo "Arch Linux  \r  (\n) (\l)" > /etc/issue

Hello, I have the same problem with archlinux, I've just installed it and need quartus for my HDL course. I didn't understand the last response in the post, and I've seen what seems to be the solution in a chinese page... and I don't know chinese!... could anybody give me hint?. Thanks in advance!.

I found the solution of the problem :-P:)

looks like you will need to install support for Stratix II devices even though you are not actually targeting that family (there are still some shared files in current releases). similar issues are covered in the Quartus II Release Notes

I browsed project's directory and found another error log. It might be helpful
