Try opening Quartus (just type 'quartus' at the command line) and navigate to the 'Help' menu option and select 'About Quartus'. It should say 13.0.0 Build 156.
Do any kernels compile correct? You could try compiling the vectorAdd or moving_average examples to see if it might be an issue with the particular kernel you are trying to compile. Those two designs compile relatively quickly.

That's a good point you brought up, BadOmen. Yes, in the past we have compiled a few kernels successfully, but it was not using my account. Hence, I tried compiling the moving_average this weekend and it succeeded. Afterwards, I repeated compiling my initial kernel, starting fresh from just the .cl file--previously, I kept using the same directory and didn't clean it completely before starting a new compilation. Anyway, this time, aoc never stopped compiling, even after waiting for more than 36 hours. quartus_fit was the process that kept running without terminating.
I suppose, the initial error I posted at the beginning of this tread was a temporal one, which can be rectified with a clean start. Nonetheless, I am still not able to compile my kernel. By the way, I am using an AMD llano machine (4 cores) with 16 GB of RAM. I am aware that this is below the recommended spec from Altera, of 24GB of RAM, but can it have such a profound effect? Please let me know if you have some idea. Meanwhile, we are trying again, and this time, we will be checking the pageout rate before killing the process; I'll post any new information we find.
Thanks again.
