The error message would imply that quartus is using dlopen(), two options:

1) It doesn't look in /usr/lib64 for libXext.so.6

If it is failing on startup, brute force dubugging might be easiest!

Use 'strace' to monitor all the system calls and see exactly where it looks for what before reporting the error.

You should be able to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or add some symbolic links) to make it all work.
