Running the ModelSim simulation never stops

I chose the right path to modelsim executable (vsim in linux) that is intelFPGA_lite/16.1/modelsim_ase/linuxaloem. I install and reinstall ModelSim Altera twice and I still can't complete the simulation. What is wrong? I already tested the code in a FPGA cyclone V device and works just fine. Why I can't simulate? Possible explanations? Please every help is useful. I'm using the quartus 16.1 lite edition. It stops right here:  

 

intelFPGA_lite/16.1/modelsim_ase/linuxaloem/vsim -c -do PROJECT_NAME.do

at which line in the do file does it stop? 

if you are able to, posting the code from the do file makes it easier to help you.

Do you mean the simulation never stops running? or never starts running?

Every code stops here. I don't know what else to do.

I think you mean it hangs. How many clock cycles is your simulation supposed to run?

The image shows how many clocks. Is anyone simulating in quartus 16? Have anyone succeeded?https://www.alteraforum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=13178 https://www.alteraforum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=13178

[SOLVED] if anyone has the same problem the solution is read the perquisites in the installation guide of modelsim altera. Install x11 and many others libraries. If you are using Linux 64 bits, you need to download 32 libraries too. Go to terminal and try vsim. If it launches you are good to go. If nothing happens you need to keep downloading until vsim command works or the terminal change the message to something like "missing NAME library" so you download it. 

 

Thanks everyone who trie to help me. I'm more than a week trying to simulate and now I can. :D
