Can't run ModelSim help

Hi, 

 

I have Quartus 14.0 (subscription edition) installed on Ubuntu 12.04.  

 

I am unable to run ModelSim. When I try to run "../modelsim_ae/bin/vsim" or "modelsim_ase/bin/vsim" , I get the error "300: exec: ./../linux/vsim: not found". 

 

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

I had the same problem as you. From my understanding modelsim needs some 32-bit libraries to run and you're most likely operating in 64-bit, correct? 

 

Follow the steps in this link:

Big thanks to this good samaritan for making his blog post! 

 

Hope this helps!

Thanks alot  

 

When I tried "sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386" , it doesn't recognise command "--add-architecture" ?  

 

However, when I installed the libraries that he lists, ModelSim seems to work as it opens fine.
