I found the solution to installing Quartus II Web Edition v10.0 on this website:
http://fpga4u.epfl.ch/wiki/Install_Quartus_II#Download_the_Installer_2

Basically the installer has a conflict with libX11.so.6, however there is a simple workaround.


Start the installation process with "--confirm" to pause before each step

sh altera_installer.external.sh --confirm
Creating directory bin
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
About to extract 49568 KB in bin ... Proceed ? [Y/n] Y
Uncompressing Altera Installer......................................... .................................................. .................................
OK to execute: ./altera_installer_gui --gui ? [Y/n]


Delete libX11.so.6 to remove the conflict


cd 10.0sp1_quartus_free_linux/altera_installer/bin
rm libX11.so.6


Continue installation process. The GUI installer should now appear.


OK to execute: ./altera_installer_gui --gui ? [Y/n] Y

Excellent.
This worked for me and I have Quartus II running nicely.

Thanks.
