As wtoner said, in Ubuntu 10.10 64bits it does not work. Well, after I did rename the librairies with _old as jrierab said, I got that message :

quartus: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib32/libXi.so: undefined symbol: XESetWireToEventCookie

--- Quote End ---

I have found what to do here ( ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1448839) about the Shake software, with the same error. This is what I did :

--- Quote Start ---

* go to [packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/i386/libxi6/download] and download libxi6_1.2.1-2ubuntu1_i386.deb

* DON'T INSTALL IT. This is old version of libXi and your system allready has newer. You need this version only to run quartus.

* uncompress libXi.so.6.0.0 in to /usr/lib32/

* make symbolic link libXi.so.6 => libXi.so.6.0.0

* run quartus

* Enjoy.
