How to install Quartus II on Ubuntu 11.10

So from a fresh install of Ubuntu:

11.1sp1_216_quartus_free_linux.sh

chmod +x 11.1sp1_216_quartus_free_linux.sh

./11.1sp1_216_quartus_free_linux.sh

./11.1sp1_216_quartus_free_linux.sh

Creating directory 11.1sp1_216_quartus_free_linux

Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Uncompressing Quartus II Web Edition (Free).......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................Extraction failed.

So I try to change couple of things that didn't help?

sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash <no> to set bash as default.

ls -al /bin/sh

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2012-01-25 08:41 /bin/sh -> bash

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs csh

any ideas?

    You probably have a corrupted archive.

    Make sure the MD5sum matches what's on the website for the downloaded file.

    md5sum should be installed already, if not it will tell you what package you need when you try to use it.

    Try

    sudo bash ./11.1sp1_216_quartus_free_linux.sh

    Don't ask me why ... it worked when I tried it :)

    Cheers,

    @anakha (http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/member.php?u=2471)

    My md5sum was ok ;)

    sudo bash ./11.1sp1_216_quartus_free_linux.sh

    start the installation

    If the script is using specific feature of bash that are not supported in sh.

    so I replace in the file# !/bin/sh

    for # !/bin/bash

    and it solve the problem! So Altera should replace sh for bash in there script! Where is there bug report website to tell them?

    SUMMARIZED:

    sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash <no>

    sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

    sudo bash ./11.1sp1_216_quartus_free_linux.sh

    Franz&#65292;in your post, you said you did:

    2 add on /etc/udev/rules.d/51-usbblaster.rules 

    SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="09fb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="6001", MODE="0666", NAME="bus/usb/$env{BUSNUM}/$env{DEVNUM}", RUN+="/bin/chmod 0666 %c"

    I want to know, if the version is quartus 8.0, should I change anything of the above content?

    Hi, Franz

    Thank's for your reply.

    I just succeeded install quartus II on Ubuntu11.10. But there are still some problems.

    When I compile the hello_word project, I had the message:

    **** Build of configuration Debug for project hello_world_0 ****

    make -s all includes

    Error: no processor component available.

    SOPC_BUILDER_PATH may be incorrectly set in your environment.

    make[1]: *** [proc_check] Error 1

    make: *** [system_project] Error 2

    Build completed in 11.841 seconds
