Quartus 13.1 - nios2eds problem under Ubuntu 13.10 64bit

Hi,

I'm experiencing problems with the nios2eds under Ubuntu 13.10 64bit. With Ubuntu 13.10 32bit everything is just fine.

In order to get Eclipse to start, I had to install the two 32bit libraries:

libgtk2.0-0:i386 libxtst6:i386

Now that the tool is starting, somehow the NiosII toolchain support is missing. In other words I can't create a NiosII project nor switch to the NiosII perspective.

I think the core of the problem is that Ubuntu from 13.10 on left the ia32-libs behind. In order to get the QSYS running I also had to install some i386 libraries.

Has anyone solved this issue? As Ubuntu - and its derviates - are probably the most widely used Linux distributions, it would be nice to compile the needed dependencies and probably even build a meta package.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Steffen
