Problem downloading image

When I run nios2-download (on a fresh Ubuntu 6.06 install) I get the error "nios2-gdb-server-wrapped: error while loading shared libraries: libjtag_client.so: cannot open shared objet file: No such file or directory", I've search everything I have and can't find a jtag client library. Any ideas what's going wrong? 

 

(Also, I ran through the wiki's cross-compile-linux tutorial and it worked like a charm! thank you!)

Altera's quartus and nios2 tools for Linux workstation are for Redhat .  

quartus/nios2 5.0, 5.1 need Redhat 8.0 or Redhat EL 3.0 . 

quartus/nios2 6.0 need Redhat EL 3.0 or EL 4.0. 

Many other Linux distro have different libs, and can not work. 

 

I have used Whitebox Linux EL 3.0 and EL 4.0, which used SRPMS from Redhat EL. 

you may need to remove quartus/linux/libgcc_s.so.1 , as was pointed out by slacker.

Are there any other tools for downloading (or is it uploading?) new programs to a Nios?

1. use u-boot, you may download images of sof and kernel with tftp and write them to flash, 

2. if you have uClinux up, you can use mtd block devices to write sof (in rbf format) and kernel to flash. for apps development, you can use nfs.
