Hi

I too had the same issue with Quartus 15.1, in Ubuntu 17.04 (GNU/Linux 4.10.0-35-generic x86_64) "error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Solution

1) download libpng12-0_1.2.50-2+deb8u3_amd64.deb, from https://packages.debian.org/es/jessie/amd64/libpng12-0/download

2) dpkg -i libpng12-0_1.2.50-2+deb8u3_amd64.deb

After this Quartus open up with GUI...!
