--- Quote Start ---

/opt/altera9.0/quartus/mw/bin-linux_optimized/rpcss.secure: /opt/altera9.0/quartus/mw/bin-linux_optimized/rpcss.secure: cannot execute binary file

Segmentation fault

    My first guess is that you are on a 64-bit Linux and are trying to execute 32-bit code.

    Is that true?

    running "quartus" on 64-bit machines should work fine. i suppose trying "quartus --64bit" may be worth a try.

    you can also try removing ~/.mw and /tmp/Mw_* but i don't anticipate this fixing the problem.

    I'm sure I run the quartus 9 on a 32bit centos 5.4.

    The response of command "uname -a" just as following

    --- Quote Start ---

    Linux CentOS-EDA02 2.6.18-164.9.1.el5PAE# 1 SMP Tue Dec 15 21:41:47 EST 2009 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

    And after delete the directory "~/.mw", I got the same result as before.

    Anyway, thanks for your responses!

    until you are able to resolve the issue i would install 9.1 and run qgui (instead of quartus). qgui does not depend on MainWin which appears to be the problem.

    thks to thepancake.

    I downloaded the quartus 9.1 as you advised. But now I got another problem in the installation. When I run the install scripts in terminal, I got the response

    --- Quote Start ---

    If: expression syntax

    My default shell is bash and tcsh is installed. I changed the default shell from bash to csh with command chsh, but it seems like there is no any help and the problem remained.

    No matter as normal user or root, the same response "If: expression syntax" accured when runing the install script. So I guess it's related the shell.

    I can not believe. The software is working correctly.

    After seeing your reply，i am ready to try.

    First,i run the software. Even worse than before，it is very very slow. Simply do not work.

    I remove the Environment Variables(set yesterday,in ".bashrc" file),it work well.

    I don't know why,but I was lucky.

    Thank you anyway
