Quartus II Web Edition installation problem on Fedora Core 17

Installation has a problem:

Creating directory 11.1sp2_259_quartus_free_linux

Verifying archive integrity... All good.

My System:

FC 17 beta (64-bit) on AMD64-based motherboard. Is 64-bit a problem to install Quartus II web edition?

    sorry, just found the answer.

    The readme.txt says:

    "The Quartus II Web Edition software is only supported on 32-bit

    operating systems."

    but since the same document also indicated:

    * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0/5.0 for 32-bit and for AMD64

    or Intel EMT64 64-bit CPUs

    * SUSE Enterprise Linux 11 for 32-bit and for AMD64

    or Intel EMT64 64-bit CPUs

    * CentOS 4/5 for 32-bit and for AMD64

    or Intel EMT64 64-bit CPUs

    Therefore theoretically it is still possible to install on 64-bit Linux.

    For the Fedora Core 17 (beta, 64-bit), I just have to "yum install" all the component (below) which is highlighted as "not found" like above message, and installation now went through successfully.

    a. sudo yum install libXt.i686

    b. sudo yum install libXext.i686

    c. sudo yum install freetype.i686

    d. sudo yum install fontconfig.i686

    Thanks.
