Quartus II 10.0 install on Ubuntu 12.10 failing during quartus_sh

[Altera_Forum]

I have run the shell script to unpackthe install, and have gotten to the install command line and gui and both fail. When I run command line, I am doing this: 

 sudo bash ./setup --target=/Home/quartus --temp=/Home/quartus_temp --all  NOTE: I have to run Bash, as my native shell is different, just sh I think  The setup script starts, and eventually this is my output, below:  ---------------------------------------------- Date :Tue Jan 29 15:40:48 2013 System Info : linux Installation Summary : Altera release version 10.0 build 219 Install Location : /Home/quartus Selected Features :  Quartus II software (includes IP Library) ModelSim-Altera Starter Edition (Free) ModelSim-Altera Edition (Paid) Nios II Embedded Design Suite DSP Builder Stand-Alone Quartus II Programmer (Free) ---------------------------------------------- Installing quartus... Command: chmod +x /home/mikez/Downloads/10.0_quartus_linux/linux_installer/quartus/install;/home/mikez/Downloads/10.0_quartus_linux/linux_installer/quartus/install --auto /Home/quartus Command: /Home/quartus/quartus/bin/quartus_sh --qinstall -qda /home/mikez/Downloads/10.0_quartus_linux/devices/subscription/arriagx.qda Command: /Home/quartus/quartus/bin/quartus_sh --qinstall -qda /home/mikez/Downloads/10.0_quartus_linux/devices/subscription/arriaii.qda Error: /Home/quartus/quartus/bin/quartus_sh: 52: /Home/quartus/quartus/bin/quartus_sh: ARGV[0]=--qinstall: not found /Home/quartus/quartus/bin/quartus_sh: 58: /Home/quartus/quartus/bin/quartus_sh: ++val: not found /Home/quartus/quartus/bin/quartus_sh: 52: /Home/quartus/quartus/bin/quartus_sh: ARGV[0]=-qda: not found /Home/quartus/quartus/bin/quartus_sh: 58: /Home/quartus/quartus/bin/quartus_sh: ++val: not found /Home/quartus/quartus/bin/quartus_sh: 52: /Home/quartus/quartus/bin/quartus_sh: ARGV[0]=/home/mikez/Downloads/10.0_quartus_linux/devices/subscription/arriaii.qda: not found /Home/quartus/quartus/bin/quartus_sh: 58: /Home/quartus/quartus/bin/quartus_sh: ++val: not found /Home/quartus/quartus/bin/quartus_sh: 137: export: 3501.00: bad variable name  It looks like the quartus_sh script is hanging on the -qinstall, and I can't find what I'm doing wrong. In that script (quartus_sh) ArgV is fixed at 0. This script is several layers inside the onion, does anyone have a quick reference for me?  Also, when I run GUI, I have another set of errors with X win, but Im sure this is not a Quartus problem:  ~/Downloads/10.0_quartus_linux$ sudo bash ./setup --gui  Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/conf.d", line 1: no element found Fontconfig warning: line 75: unknown element "cachedir" Fontconfig warning: line 76: unknown element "cachedir" Fontconfig warning: line 78: unknown element "cachedir" altera_installer_cmd: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXfixes.so.3: undefined symbol: _XGetRequest   Any help there would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks

I found that I had to run the setup script in Gnome shell rather than a non-GUI shell like Openbox. If I used Openbox it would prompt some display errors (though not exactly like your messages).
