Segmentation Fault with Quartus installer (Ubuntu)

Altera_Forum · ‎08-08-2014

Hi there,

I'm trying to install Quartus II on my Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit machine. I need to compile and FPGA image from a script that doesn't support anything higher than 13.1, so I went and downloaded 13.0 and 13.1 SP1 along with my Cyclone IV device files and Modelsim.

Before all this I installed 14.0 without any problems, running the following command in bash:

cd ~/Downloads
sudo chmod +x Quartus_blablabla.run
./Quartus_blablabla.run

Following the same procedure for the earlier versions only gives a message:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I've tried re-downloading it several times, and I've also tried to download the complete package of version 13, and running the install script gives the same error.

Any ideas?

One ideae : Have you tested your memory ?

The earlier versions would have almost certainly required 32-bit compatibility libraries to function...I'm not 100% sure that this is your issue, but it seems likely.

Hi and thanks for your replies.

A complete memory test revealed no errors.

As far as I understand (from the installation guide), 32-bit libraries are only required as a separate install if you run Red Hat or CentOS.

Cheers.
