Quartus can't find shared library

Thanks again for the prompt response.

Unfortunately, I have still not been able to get it to work.

I did read the installation guide and learned that I should have put the ..quartus/bin

directory in my path. So I did that, but it still didn't work. I don't think that was the problem, though.

Next I deleted the whole /alt directory with the idea of going for the default location,

but when I tried to install that way, I got:

<<

rut/home/mr/Downloads\:ls

11.1sp2_259_quartus_free_linux 11.1sp2_259_quartus_free_linux.sh

rut/home/mr/Downloads\:./11*.sh

Creating directory 11.1sp2_259_quartus_free_linux

Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Thanks again for any suggestions.
