help: nios2 "No project templates available"

Hi there!

I am a starter of nios2 ide, now I've got a problem in creating a new project.

I am using the ubuntu10.04 OS,and quartus9.1sp2,nios ide 9.1.

when I'm trying to create a new project, it would show an error 

"No project templates available at /home/alexander/”/opt/altera9.1sp2/nios2eds”/examples/software"

("alexander" is my laptop name)

If I ignore that and finish the name and ptf file directory, the error message would become 

"No project template folders found in $SOPC_KIT_NIOS2/examples/software. Please ensure your environment variables are correctly set."

In my /etc/environment file, I have set the environment varable like this: 

QUARTUS_ROOTDIR=/opt/altera9.1sp2/quartus
SOPC_KIT_NIOS2=/opt/altera9.1sp2/nios2eds

I have been stuck on this problem for a whole afternoon,please help me!

thx!

    Looks like it is assuming the directories are relative to your home directory instead of the (desired) absolute paths.

    Possibly you can fool it by adding a symlink from ~/opt to /opt however you'll probably find it want to write all over its install tree - so you might need a private copy anyway.

    Thank you for your help, I find that when I install quartus and nios ide, I also configured the .bashrc and when I delete the confing line in the .bashrc file and restart the laptop, it works!

    Thanks all the same.
