Quartus 13.0sp1 on Ubuntu 15.10 - error libSM.so.6

[Altera_Forum]

Hello, 

 I've successfully installed Quartus 13.0sp1 Web Edition on Ubuntu 15.10. It also successfully automaticly opened immediately after the installation, but when I'm now trying to open the program by typing quartus -64bit I got this message: quartus: error while loading shared libraries: libSM.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory  locate libSM  shows: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSM.so.6 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSM.so.6.0.1    Could you please help me?

Hi, 

 I've got it working on Fedora 22. In my case, the library is located in the following places: 

• /usr/lib/libSM.so.6 
• /usr/lib64/libSM.so.6 

 So maybe placing a symlink from either of those locations might help?  Also, I had to use information from the following web sites, maybe one of them might help in your case: 

• https://aalonso.wordpress.com/2009/07/02/altera-quartus-2-on-fedora-11/ 
• https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/altera_design_software 
• http://mattaw.blogspot.de/2014/05/making-modelsim-altera-starter-edition.html 

 (I know some of them are for Fedora, but I guess most solutions might be common).  What's particularly interesting is the hint from the third page, which recommends to install "libsm6:i386". I don't know if the ".i386" part makes a difference.   Best regards, GooGooCluster

You won't find a 32-bit version of Ubuntu to download any more, but Intel has seen fit to no longer support a 64-bit Linux version of the Quartus software. You therefore get to install 32-bit versions of some libraries, and libSM.so.6 is one of them.

sudo apt-get install libsm6:i386

did the trick for me, and should for you.
