I am running quartus 7.1,every time I choose Tools->Option or License setup.there is a pop-up window titled "Quartus II Internel error" 

Fatal Error: Segment Violation at 0x28, Module: quartus 

... 

I guess it conflicts with my Debian system?

Same problem here...I explain it a little bit more and include an attachment with the error itself. 

 

Hi everybody... 

 

I have a kubuntu 7.04 Gnu/Linux distro running on a 32 bit microprocessor. And I have another problem. I've seen people having similar problems, have tried everything read in the forums (removing /.mw hidden dir, removing /.altera/quartus -or something similar i can't remember now-) but nothing happens. I have even tried to install GNOME on my system, change from KDM to GDM, and log in GNOME to run it, but still crashes... 

 

Besides, I need to type quartusII 7.1 twice in the bash prompt since the first one (always after restarting the system or the X server) doesn't launch it. After that, it's launched always in the first attempt, but incidentally the Quartus II window title bar says Quartus II <2> . Any idea about this <2>??? 

 

For some reason, I tend to think it has something to do with fonts, windows management...something graphical definitely. For information, I installed following vishnu350 tutorial, found in 

 

http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operatingsystems/%c2%b5clinux/quartusforlinux?revision=16 

 

being the only difference between both of us GNOME or KDE, since we both have an ubuntu base system, kubuntu for me and ubuntu studio for him i think. 

 

When I run Quartus, everything seems to be allright (I can create a project, add a file, edit it...haven't yet compiled it, but it seems allright), except for two menues options.... When I go to Tools->Options or Tools->License Setup, it crashes showing the error message shown in the attachment. 

 

I can work without this two menues, but if i want to add the megacores to the system (instead of doing it in each project) i need it to access Tools->options. And would also like to check my license... 

 

Any idea?¿?¿ 

 

Thanks so much... 

 

Maybe this post should be moved to another thread like http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=214 or http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1084 

 

but seems it looks like turning into a persistent problem for many users....

QuartusPenguin posted in http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4181&mode=threaded#post4181 a possible solution for Quartus 7.2 

 

Anyway in the quartus_unix.pdf found in http://altera.com/literature/manual/quartus_unix.pdf it can be read 

 

 

--- Quote Start ---  

To use the Visual MainWin software, which is required to run the Quartus II 

software on Linux workstations, the Linux workstation requires the GNU 

libc libraries (glibc). Table 3 lists the glibc versions required for each version 

of Linux supported by the Quartus II software. 

 

Table 3. Required glibc Version for Linux Workstations 

Red Hat Linux Enterprise 3.0 glibc 2.3.2-95 

Red Hat Linux Enterprise 4.0 glibc 2.3.4-2 

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 glibc 2.3.3-98 

 

The GNU libc libraries are available at the Red Hat Linux website at www.redhat.com. 

--- Quote End ---  

 

 

My question is... I have found using the package manager that these libraries are not installed in my system (Kubuntu 7.04). The only references the manager finds are glibc-doc, libdb1-compat (The Berkeley database routines [glibc 2.0/2.1 compatibility]), libg++2.8.1.3-glibc2.2 (The GNU C++ extension library - runtime version) and libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 (The GNU stdc++ library). 

I suppose i can find these libraries in www.gnu.org. Do you know the link to them? And more important, should i install those libraries? or a compatibility for them? Don't know if i can break the system if using old libraries not event offered in ubuntu official repos.
