    Hello,

    Thank you for your response. Actually, I installed Modelsim with Quartus Pro 20.3 and the above error disappeared. I think that the libraries were correctly installed this time.

Hi Lotfi,


You received that error because of missing libraries. Unfortunately we have no proper workaround as CentOS 7 is not supported on ModelSim Intel FPGA: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/support/support-resources/download/os-support.html


You could try installing the equivalent or substitute packages listed for Red Hat Enterprise Linux from Table 2 of this document: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/manual/quartus_install.pdf#page=8


Otherwise you'd have to use a different EDA simulation tool that supports CentOS 7.


Sorry for the inconvenience.

Regards,

Nurina
