Hi, 

 

I've installed ModelSim into my fedora 20, and when I change the directory to: /altera/14.1/modelsim_ase/linuxaloem/  

And I tried to run ModelSim with command: ./vsim 

But there were errors pop up:./vish: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 

 

Then, I googled online found I need to install 32 bit library, so then, I run the command: sudo yum install libXft.i686 

 

But then, the problem remains. Same error as I listed above.  

 

Anyone can help?

The error is complaining about libncurses, you installed libXft 

 

Try "sudo yum install ncurses-libs.i686" and see if the error changes. 

 

The last time I installed Quartus/Modelsim, the installer listed the packages it thought you needed to install. 

Did you install those packages? If not, then you may end up with a long list of things you need to "yum install"
