10 years agoQuartus 15.1 requires libpng12 ?
Hello,
I have just installed Quartus 15.1 64-bit edition on a Linux machine. Starting quartus gave me : quartus: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Why does Quartus still need libpng 12 ? This is an old library. How can I resolve this ? best regards Simon12 Replies

no offend, but the supported Linux version quite limited as well for quartus, where other than the listed below might face some unpredictable errors.. extra effort needed to solve all those untested OS. :D

I frequently have similar issues with shared objects on my CentOS servers. Running the following command fixes many of them:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/Altera/altera15.1/quartus/linux64 # point to your quartus installation /opt/Altera/altera15.1/quartus/bin/quartus_sh --64bit -gui & # open Quartus GUI - Altera_Forum
