    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.

    Were you able to solve this problem? My csh is located @ /bin/csh. The first line of the script points correctly to this location, so i don't know what else to do to stop getting this "if: Expression Syntax." when i tryto run the install script.

    Cheers, Leonardo.

    [root@localhost Altera Software]# ls

    install ip_lic.txt literature nios2eds readme.txt tools

    ip license.txt modelsim_ae quartus space.txt

    [root@localhost Altera Software]# ./install

    if: Expression Syntax.

    [root@localhost Altera Software]# csh install

    if: Expression Syntax.

    [root@localhost Altera Software]# head -n 1 install # !/bin/tcsh

    Any ideas?

    and ./install opens up the install script and prompts me for install location. this is on Fedora 12.

    Forgot to mention i'm trying to install quartus 7.1 (it came along with the DE2-70 board... it supports stratix devices i intend to use, which is not the case for the webpack version).

    The problem seems to be in this line:

    if ($#argv > 0) then

    I'm not a csh wiz, but it looks OK to me. Trying to use quotes around the $#argv didn't solve the problem also...

    the current script has that same line so i'm not sure that's the problem.

    what i do know is that 7.1 is very old, i wouldn't go down that road.

    Sorry, this problem is still unsolved. I installed a clean centos 5.4 on my laptop(thinkpad x60), the same problem remained. I'll try it on an rhel 4.7 workstation after my bussiness travel.

    Wish you lucky.
