Hi, I have successfully run previous releases of Quartus on Slackware, I am now trying to run Quartus II 7.2 on BlueWhite64 Linux (a 64-bit port of Slackware).

I have managed to install Quartus, NIOS, the IP & ModelSim following Altera's instructions for Linux after installing the 32-bit compatibility modules. I also installed patch 0.06 as I am running under KDE.

When I type quartus at the bash prompt, nothing at all happens, not even the splash screen or an error message, it just sits there until I kill it or CTRL-C it.

I have tried with QUARTUS_64BIT set to 1 or 0

I haven't installed the license yet but normaly Quartus runs enough to tell me that I need a license.

quartus_sh -g at least opens a window.

Any hint on how to start debugging this?
