Installing Quartus on Linux

Thanks for the new howto...

I like your clever way to fake out the 'arch' command!

For What It Is Worth...

Quartus V7.2 works fine on a fresh install of Ubuntu v7.10 (Gutsy) but wasn't working, segfaults, on an upgrade from v7.04 to v7.10. If I have a chance I'll try your linking to the libso file.

For those who have asked for my .deb files in order to do this installation - I still haven't seen Altera give permission for such a sharing of knowledge. I refer you to a google search on how to create .deb files. It's quite easy... so easy that Altera should do it!

What I wouldn't give for an apt-get way to install Quartus.

But alas, we keep floundering around in muck that Red Hat has created... tar balls and the like. Reminds me of those "back to the 90's TV shows".
