Unable to install AOCL_13.0SP1_linx64

I'm installing the OpenCL SDK for Linux on Centos 6.2 (I appreciate that's not the supported OS, but judging by other posts on this forum, it might be close enough) from the following link: http://dl.altera.com/opencl/?platform=linux&download_manager=direct

I've successfully installed Quartus II with the Stratix V drivers (having followed the instructions on the 'Altera Software Installation and Licencing' document for additional libraries required) and am now attempting to install AOCL. This is the error message I'm seeing:

[root@openClHost opencl]# ./AOCL_13.0SP1_linux64

invalid command name "bind"

while executing

"::unknown bind Text <Tab>"

("uplevel" body line 1)

invoked from within

"uplevel 1 $next $args"

(procedure "::obj::Unknown" line 3)

invoked from within

"bind Text <Tab>"

(procedure "::InstallJammer::InitializeGui" line 19)

invoked from within

"::InstallJammer::InitializeGui "

(procedure "::InstallJammer::InitInstall" line 68)

invoked from within

"::InstallJammer::InitInstall"

(file "/installkitvfs/main.tcl" line 29536)

Judging from other forums (http://mgl.scripps.edu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1733&p=4455 for example) I believe this the installer failing due to missing some 32-bit compatibility library for my x86_64 system, but I've been unable to find one that resolves this issue.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Phil

    There is a list of the required packages in the Quartus documentation. A quick first check would be to run Quartus from the command line and look for any compatibility error messages. It should tell you some of the missing packages you might not have installed yet.

    Also please verify that the md5sum is correct. This could be a corrupt download.

    Thanks guys, I'm not sure what the issue was exactly, but after I was able to get Quartus running then the AOCL installer completed successfully. Very strange though!
