I've installed Quartus II 15.0, and ModelSim on my Ubuntu Linux 14.04 LTS and I keep get the same error messgae when I want to simulate my design with RTL simulation. The message says that in the file:://path/to/project-folder/project-name_nativelink_simulation.rpt I can read more details about the error. and in this file it's written:
"Can't launch ModelSim-Altera Simulation software -- make sure the software is properly installed and the environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE or MGLS_LICENSE_FILE points to the correct license file." I really need to simulate for my project and I want to learn use ModelSim but I can't focus on the design due to these errors... The full text of this .rpt file is attached here:Info: Start Nativelink Simulation processInfo: NativeLink has detected a mixed Verilog and VHDL design -- verilog simulation models will be used
