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?

    Hi Pete,

    Thank for your help.

    I tried your rules, but it does not work. I will keep searching and trying.

    Hi all,

    I solved this problem.

    Actually, when you install Quartus II, you should use sudo bash setup.sh to install it.

    Now I can find my DE5 board.

    Thank for helps.

    Regards,

    Great!.. Glad you got it working.

    I remember having to change the soft link in /bin for sh from dash to bash.
