    Not a bad idea getting rid of everything that was for NIOS I. The instruction sets are completely different so I don't think you want to try to have a mix on your system.

    When I start up the command prompt shell, I get an error message but then after I get a second say to ignore the first one. I wouldn't bother with the old shell if you can avoid it. The new IDE although kinda tricky to use at first is much nicer.

    I use both at different times, and I have not done anything special. In fact my computer is probably pretty messed up :-)

    Open the NII sdk shell and then the file that points to... make sure that it can find bash - that all the pointers are correct.

    tell me if that helps. If it doesn't we'll see if we can find something else.

    maybe???? did you install Quartus in a different location AFTER you installed Nios II? I don't think this should matter because it looks for Q home dir..

    And how are you invoking the shell.
