Honored ContributorJust got Quartus II (11.1) running on RHEL 5 x64
Post my experience, wish it could be helpful for others First of all, install by using net installer (altera_installer.external.sh) which is on the top of the Quartus II download page. (side note: running standalone Quartus II subscribed .sh file, I didn't see SELinux warning at all, but complains of missing .../11.1/quartus/bin/qreg, could not more forward) After installation, saw quartus warning pop-ups about registration and jtag need to disable selinux or set it to permissible mode (security at own discretion) do the following: .../11.1/quartus/bin/# qreg --tb2id .../11.1/quartus/bin/# qreg --jtag Setup license by setting environment variable in .bashrc or .cshrc See http://quartushelp.altera.com/current/master.htm#mergedprojects/global/install/install_pro_specify_lm_license_file.htm (http://quartushelp.altera.com/current/master.htm#mergedprojects/global/install/install_pro_specify_lm_license_file.htm) After installation is done, one can turn SELinux back on, but all Quartus II *.so libraries needs to be added to allow list: Do this by: .../11.1/quartus/linux/# chcon -t textrel_shlib_t *.so" Note do above line strictly from the linux folder, since chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '.../altera/.../*.so' doesn't accept file name wildcard. Actually there is a Altera Solution ID for this: spr329499 (see Support Knowledge Base) Can try to start Quartus II, if you see "failed with: Internal Error: Sub-system: ATCL ... " set SELinux in permissible mode, reboot and test If your Quartus II starts when SELinux in permissible mode, repeat "chcon" Cheers,
