You do not have enough disk space to install the requested items.

Would you like to restart the installation? (y/n): n

why can't install this?

Altera_Forum · ‎07-09-2008

do you have disk quotas enabled? and is the partition, where /opt is mounted, big enough?

i'd better not rely on the installer script telling you a value of free space. Altera officially only supports RHEL distro's. no idea, how the install scripts would work with ubuntu.

Altera_Forum · ‎07-09-2008

The default "/bin/sh" shell of Ubuntu is (I believe) dash. Though most of Altera's install scripts are written generically enough to work with dash, some require bash. Since this could be the cause of the issue, I'd recommend either changing your default "/bin/sh" link to point to bash or modifying the top line# !/bin/sh in Altera's installation scripts.

Oh, and since I've been running (successfully) on 64-bit Ubuntu since late last year, I can vouch for the fact that it does, indeed, work. 8.0 even fixes the minor X Windows issues with the QII GUI.

I tried to install Quartus 7.2 on Ubuntu. I make sure the OS is 32-bit, but

I still got the same error that my disk space is not enough. I wonder why?

I had same problem on installing quartus 9.0.

I resolved this problem as follow:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

for enabling 32bit applications on 64bit architecture.
