unable to install Quartus on linux; quartusSetup.run does nothing

I am trying to install Quartus and AOCL on my centos 6.4 64bit. Downloaded both linux run file. Gave execution permission and tried to run them with user and root. Nothing happened, no error no nothing, just returned to# . I also tried to run them on ubuntu 12.04 and centos 5.6 64bit liveCD boot. Got the same result. Verified md5 checksum and it was good. Looked at the prerequisites of quartus and aocl install guide pdf, and installed kernel* rpm and all others rpm (but in x86_64 arch). Ran the .run files and still returned like nothing happened. Need some help here.

Thanks in advance.

    It's quite likely that the install "script" requires the 32-bit compatibility stuff (ia32-libs or something like that) to be installed.

    Give that a go...

    Cheers!

    Victor;

    ia32-libs has been deprecated in the latest versions of Ubuntu. This makes things more interesting, in that you have to find the correct libraries to install.

    I am in the process of installing Quartus on Ubuntu 14.04 with Cinammon desktop manager and will post my results as they become available.

    sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6 to make QSys work on Ubuntu 14.04

    Finally got it to run without error after installed all the i686 rpm listed on quartus install guide pdf. I had to reinstall my centos to get those i686 packages to install since I got arch conflict before (so much pain to install software offline for linux). Thx guys.
