Quartus & Mandriva

OK, I have discovered that I can run NIOS-IDE, and SOPC starts up briefly before saying it needs a quartus project and then shuts down. If I try to run anything to do with mainwin it also says aborted which is making me think this hasn't installed properly or - possibly more likely - I am missing something mainwin needs to run.It's quite possible on my old installation I installed something by accident (or for something else) that mainwin needs. Does nayone know what mainwin needs, where I can find a list or make it give me a verbose error list rather than just "Aborted"?
