Installing Quartus II Web Edition v10.0

[phosphoricx]

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.

1. 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]

2. Delete libX11.so.6 to remove the conflict
   

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

3. Continue installation process. The GUI installer should now appear.
   

   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"
