Segmentation Fault with Quartus installer (Ubuntu)

Hi there,

I'm trying to install Quartus II on my Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit machine. I need to compile and FPGA image from a script that doesn't support anything higher than 13.1, so I went and downloaded 13.0 and 13.1 SP1 along with my Cyclone IV device files and Modelsim.

Before all this I installed 14.0 without any problems, running the following command in bash: 

cd ~/Downloads
sudo chmod +x Quartus_blablabla.run
./Quartus_blablabla.run

Following the same procedure for the earlier versions only gives a message: 

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I've tried re-downloading it several times, and I've also tried to download the complete package of version 13, and running the install script gives the same error.

Any ideas?

    The earlier versions would have almost certainly required 32-bit compatibility libraries to function...I'm not 100% sure that this is your issue, but it seems likely.

    Cheers!

    Hi and thanks for your replies.

    A complete memory test revealed no errors.

    As far as I understand (from the installation guide), 32-bit libraries are only required as a separate install if you run Red Hat or CentOS.

    Cheers.
