Unable to run SoCEDSSetup-14.0.0.200-linux.run install app.

I am unable to run SoCEDSSetup-14.0.0.200-linux.run, this is on an ubuntu 3.2.0-63-generic-pae# 95-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 15 23:26:11 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux.

I have chmod +x to the file and I am root. The error is "cannot execute binary file"

Has anyone else had this porblem and how was it resolved?

Thanks

    Installed Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit - now I can launch SoCEDSSetup-14.1.0.186-linux.run. The Quartus stuff did not install (permission issues), but I'm not interested in FPGA just yet. Found that I had to run ../(ESD_Workspace)/embedded/ds-5_installer/Install.sh after SoCEDSSetup-14.1.0.186-linux.run to complete the install (you need to run Install.sh as root).

    Another interesting note - Install.sh would not run without errors until I accepted all the defaults. The only default I had tried to change was the location of the tools - I have a dual boot workstation and I was trying to put as much as I could in the FAT32 partition I set up for sharing (it is by far the largest). The default location is in Linux root partition (EXT4) and that seems to be required. So now whenever I run ANY script from Altera I accept all the defaults, because I suspect they don't test much other than that.

    Good to know you make it run. Strange thing is they require 64bit distro with 32bit libraries...
