Quartus & Mandriva

Thanks for that link; it was very helpful and I have painlesslly got Quartus to recognise the Bytebaster and it's ready to program my demo board. However, I just cannot get Quartus to recognise that I have a valid licence file and so cannot produce .sof files!

My licence file itself begins with:

SERVER localhost xxxxxxxxx1800

VENDOR alterad "/opt/altera6.1/quartus/linux/alterad"

USE_SERVER

I altered the above from what I was actually sent as per various web sites showing hos this should be done.

Then is has four entries like this:

INCREMENT altera_mainwin alterad 2007.03 11-mar-2007 and a load of numbers.

(xxxxxxxxxx is my MAC address; I wasn't sure it was appropriate to post it here.)

Its location is /opt/licenses/lisense.dat

If I run:

/opt/altera6.1/quartus/linux/lmutil lmstat -a -c 1800@localhost

It reports back like this:

localhost: license server UP (MASTER) v9.5

Vendor daemon status (on localhost):

alterad: UP v9.5

Feature usage info:

Users of altera_mainwin: (Total of 1 license issued; Total of 0 licenses in use)

Users of altera_mainwin_lnx: (Total of 1 license issued; Total of 0 licenses in use)

Users of maxplus2verilog: (Total of 1 license issued; Total of 0 licenses in use)

Users of maxplus2vhdl: (Total of 1 license issued; Total of 0 licenses in use)

So I assume the licence server is running...

Also, if I type:

env | grep LM_LICENSE_FILE

It reports:

LM_LICENSE_FILE=1800@localhost

I have tried both ticking the use LM_LICENSE_FILE variable with 1800@localhost in the greyed out box and also unticking that and specifying the licence file in the selector dialogue box that pops up.

Anyone have any idea why it might not be working?

Many thanks.
