quartus: error while loading shared libraries: libprotobuf.so.14: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Description

Due to a problem in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard and Lite Edition Software version 22.1 , you may see this error in the Linux environment when the software is installed to a mounted shared directory and is launched by other user accounts. This occurs because other user accounts require permission to access the installed software folder.

Resolution

To work around this problem, perform the following command to grant permission access:

sudo chmod -R go=u-w /<installed_folder>

This problem is fixed starting with the Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard and Lite Edition Software version 23.1.
