Recently I had to start working on a workstation with CentOS 6.5 as operating system. I installed the Quartus Software, version 11.1, but the Eclipse tools for Nios II just do not open. Then I installed Quartus 13.1, but problem still persists.
Here is the output I get when executing the eclipse-nios2 -debug command from terminal:Start VM: /opt/altera/11.1/quartus//linux/jre/bin/java

However, that directory does not exists (I attach an image of the contents of the Nios II directory). https://www.alteraforum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=8487 I cannot seem to get the Nios II tools running on Linux, and there is no other error message to track down. If further information about the work environment is needed, I will gladly post it here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I saw the Quartus flash screen but sopc-builder can't start:( ---------------------------------------------- For me I ran /opt/altera/12.1/quartus/sopc_builder/bin/sopc_builder to see what 32-bit libraries are missing, I discovered libXtst.so is missing.. so yum again yum install libXtst.i686 ---------------------------------------------- ok... saw the sopc builder flash screen but eclipse can't start :( I got the idea from here: http://aalonso.wordpress.com/2009/07/02/altera-quartus-2-on-fedora-11/ ---------------------------------------------- yum install gtk2.i686 // need for eclipse yum install libcanberra-gtk2.i686 // don't need ---------------------------------------------- ----------- for usb blaster permission create file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-usbblaster.rules with content # USB-Blaster BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="09fb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="6001", MODE="0666" BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="09fb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="6002", MODE="0666" BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="09fb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="6003", MODE="0666" :)
I had exactly the described problem.
yum install gtk2.i686 seems to have fixed it. Thanks! Every tools seems to require some hidden i686 feature.For more complete information about compiler optimizations, see our Optimization Notice.
