Hi,
i installed Quartus v13.0 on ubuntu linux version 12.04 LTS. Everything works nice but whenever I start quartus I see the checkbox window where I can select the three license option (Buy Subscription, Run software, Add an IP license). I can then select to run the Quartus software and quartus starts and shows me a message box "Quartus II software is unable to activate your license". After pushing Ok it continues.
When I go the license setup and click "Web License Update" to update the web edition license I get the message that I cannot connect to the internet and I see again the Box with the 3 license choices.
When I configure the "Internet Connectivity" and set firefox as my web browser, I cannot start the web browser. Pushing, e.g. on "Documentation" results in the following message in the terminal where I started quartus:
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file
libxpcom.so:
libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.
There is a similar problem in the Xilinx software and there is i proposal to fix it:
(not allowed here... google: xilinx XPCOMGlueLoad error)
I followed the idea and renamed the libstdc++.so files to .bak versions. Then the firefox browser starts from quartus. However the license check is still not possible.
Anybody out there who has the same problems?
Regards
Friedrich
