Internal Quartus Error

Hello,

I am running Quartus II v13.1, and every so often (maybe 40% of the time) I get an internal error while compiling. If I restart the compilation it typically goes fine the second time through. I've posted the error message below, but I can't really make heads or tails of it. Can anyone help me understand what's going on and if it's a Quartus error or a system error on my machine?

Internal Error: Sub-system: HDB, File: /quartus/h/qtl_object_cache_sys.h, Line: 1042

m_locks == 0

    I don't think there's anything to 'make' of the error you've posted, other than to say Quartus isn't happy with something.

    Given the version you're using is pretty stable all I can suggest is that you reinstall it. I've seen similar errors with earlier versions. However, I've used 64-bit 13.1 162 for a long time and don't recall ever seeing it fail in this way.

    You don't say what it is you're compiling. Can it handle very simple projects? Or is it that it doesn't like a particular bit of IP you're using?

    Cheers,

    Alex
