Installation of 10.1_quartus_free_linux.sh on Ubuntu 10.04

Hey,

I have been trying to install the 10.1 free version of quartus on the Ubuntu 10.04 32bit

The installation for Quartus succeeds but then it fails when trying to install the Device families.

I have been running the following command and havent patched the install file

bash ./10.1_quartus_free_linux.sh

Before this I have tried

bash ./10.1_quartus_free_linux.sh --no-exec

There is no libX11.so.* in the 10.1_quartus_free_linux.sh/altera_installer/bin directory

As such I thought that the installation would succeed.

The installation proceeds halfway with QPixmap warnings. Then when trying to install some family of devices it fails. I have attached a sample error log.


Installing Arria II GX Family ...

After the this the GUI installer crashes. Reading the contents of the /tmp/altera_setup.log gives:

./altera_installer/setup: line 59: exec: altera_installer_cmd: not found

Note: Running multiple runs of the installer, I have noticed that it fails on different device families.

Any suggestions?
