Soc EDS fail to connect to usb blaster

I have install Soc EDS v14 on centos 7, and run as doc ug_soc_eds.pdf secion “Getting Started with Bare-Metal Debugging” introduce， but when I Select Run > Debug Configurations and Click Browse to select the USB Blaster connection(refer to 4-29 steps 3 in pdf),it show "One entry must be selected"

And soon show blew information:

https://www.alteraforum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=9230

But in fact the variable have been set before start eclips:

https://www.alteraforum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=9231 https://www.alteraforum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=9232

And I can down load data with quartus ii, so why Soc EDS cann't connect to usb blaster?

I install the softeware on windows 7 and avoid this problem, if someone have success run soc eds on linux? which distribution and version do you use?

    I have tryed reinstall Soc EDS，but problem continues.

    Quartus Programmer success, I can down load a sof file to fpga.

    I have not try Signal Tap. But I run the "jtagconfig" commond, it can read usb-blaster information.

    Good! Altera Guru, QuaPro and SigTap uses the same libjtag_client.so for work ?

    "Failed to load libjtag_client.so" may be on small rights of .so: if need be executable +x ?

    May try 3 other versions of SoC EDS ver 13.*, its .so is worked ?

    Then will copy good .so to 14.0 directory...

    May be extended diagnostic of loading .so in any console with keys ?

    P.S. And may use many USB-Blasters and connect to board in round-robin -- if some by work ? :)

    In SoC kit present also 2nd USB-Blaster-connector (left-down corner) for external JTAG-device, with connecting to it 1st is automatic off. May try this way.

    Try to create shell environment variable like:

    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${QUARTUS_ROOTDIR}/linux32/

    where QUARTUS_ROOTDIR points to <installation>/quartus
