I have Quartus 13.1 installed on Ubuntu 18.04 and I am getting the libpng missing library error. I installed the available deb package and also recompiled it from source and installed manually, but no luck in getting Quartus to launch.

$ ldconfig -p | grep libpng
	libpng16.so.16 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/local/lib/libpng16.so.16
	libpng16.so.16 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng16.so.16
