Hi,

The issue is coz Linux distro is missing few libraries that are needed by ModelSim to work. You will have to install all the required dependancies for ModelSim and Quartus to work .

at the terminal prompt type the following command and press Enter;

sudo apt-get install libtk-img

or just try

sudo apt-get install libtkimgwindow1.4.2.so

Use the same method to install any missing libraries it mentions as missing or file not found.

After installing these missing packages you should be able to open ModelSim / Quartus.
