ModelSim on Fedora 20

Hi,

I've installed ModelSim into my fedora 20, and when I change the directory to: /altera/14.1/modelsim_ase/linuxaloem/

And I tried to run ModelSim with command: ./vsim

But there were errors pop up:./vish: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Then, I googled online found I need to install 32 bit library, so then, I run the command: sudo yum install libXft.i686

But then, the problem remains. Same error as I listed above.

Anyone can help?

    The error is complaining about libncurses, you installed libXft

    Try "sudo yum install ncurses-libs.i686" and see if the error changes.

    The last time I installed Quartus/Modelsim, the installer listed the packages it thought you needed to install.

    Did you install those packages? If not, then you may end up with a long list of things you need to "yum install"

    See page 4: http://www.altera.com/literature/manual/quartus_install.pdf
