Hello,

I installed the free edition of Quartus on Ubuntu. But, I can't start it. The error looks like: 


$./quartus
$quartus: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I found a topic on the web also,

Thanks.

After installing libpng12 (from https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/libpng12-0/download) I was able to run Quartus 17.0 on ubuntu 17.04.
