If anyone else is having trouble with this, these steps helped me set up Quartus 11.1 on Ubuntu 14.04:

chmod 700 11.1_173_quartus_linux.sh

bash 11.1_173_quartus_linux.sh

cd 11.1_173_quartus_linux

mv altera_installer/bin/libpng12.so.0 ../

bash ./setup

Inspiration from here: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-571770-start-0.html on the libpng issue.

Cheers.

This also works on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for Quartus ii and ModelSim installers.

The reason to move the the libpng12.so.0 out of the bin folder is that it does not work, so, you are forcing the installer to look in any other location.

The library is available to be installed from the Ubuntu repo for the i386 and x86_64 architectures.
