I found the solution to installing Quartus II Web Edition v10.0 on this website: http://fpga4u.epfl.ch/wiki/Install_Q...he_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 Code: 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 Code: cd 10.0sp1_quartus_free_linux/altera_installer/bin rm libX11.so.6 Continue installation process. The GUI installer should now appear. Code: OK to execute: ./altera_installer_gui --gui ? [Y/n] Y Fontconfig error: "conf.d", line 1: no element found Fontconfig warning: line 73: unknown element "cachedir" Fontconfig warning: line 74: unknown element "cachedir"
