Hi
to install quartus || 10.0 you will maybe face some problems during installation ..
Apparently there is a conflict with the file libX11.so.6. Here is a simple workaround:
- Add the option --confirm to execute the install script.
```{=html}
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]
- Before proceeding, in another terminal, go in the same directory than the install script and delete the file ./bin/libX11.so.6.
```{=html}
<!-- -->
rm bin/libX11.so.6
- Now you can proceed.
{=html}
<!-- -->
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"
- The installer GUI should pop up.
That's it :) enjoy quartus bye
