Hi Ale,


Sorry, just want to clarify, can you provide me the exact steps you get the fatal error?


1) When you launch quartus, you get an error: mprotect failed in ExecutableAllocator::makeExecutable: Permission denied


2) Then you compile your design, you get a Fatal error?


If the error message is causing you to have a crash on Fatal error, I supposed from my side will get the similar situation as I am getting the same error in Redhat 9.1.


Beside the fatal error, any other problem that you face after getting the error above?


Thanks,

Best regards,

Kenny Tan

Hi Kenny Tan,


Yes, correct, the steps you've described are the ones that resulted in the GUI crash.


When I launch Quartus GUI, the Quartus Window opens, however on the CLI (terminal on RHEL9.4) it shows:
mprotect failed in ExecutableAllocator::makeExecutable: Permission denied

After providing ncurses-compat-libs on LD_LIBRARY_PATH the project compilation finishes successfully, thus the crash is gone, at least for this project.

Are you saying that message "mprotect failed in ExecutableAllocator::makeExecutable: Permission denied" also happens on RHEL9.1?

Thank you,

Ale Cefo
