I ran into the same prob with ubuntu tribe 5... it appears to be a bug with the missing 'arch' command. edit the <quartus root>/mw/setup-mwuser.csh file by commenting out the following lines... that will get u going.... although i haven't actually done anything with quartus yet... i just found the prob now...

else if (`uname` == Linux) then

setenv MWOS linux

# if ((`arch` =~ i*86) || (`arch` =~ ia64) || (`arch` =~ x86*)) then

setenv MWARCH i86

# else

# echo "Unknown Linux processor"

# endif
