Problems with Quartus 2 v4 under Linux

[Stéphane Acounis]

Hello,

I have installed the latest Quartus version for Linux, applied the service
pack 1 and still have problem with it: as soon as I want to edit my VHDL
top design file, Quartus crashes with no error message.
I have removed all the accentuated letters but it did not resolved the
problem.
I am running a RedHat 9, I know it is not officialy supported but Altera
did modify the scripts to include the magic LD_ASSUME_KERNEL variable to
make it run.

I can compile the design, simulate it but not editing it!

Any clue? Thanks.

I don't know specifically, but there's a couple of things you might
try.

Firstly run strace, e.g.

strace quartus

and it will show what is being executed by the program when it
crashes.

Secondly, as you mention accented letters, have you tried setting the
system language to "C"? You can do this by editing

/etc/sysconfig/i18n to contain LANG=C

Good luck!

I will try this when I will reinstall it! It only crashes with the text
editor not when compiling or simulating.

and it will show what is being executed by the program when it crashes.

system language to "C"? You can do this by editing

/etc/sysconfig/i18n to contain LANG=C

It is already done by the qenv script when Quartus is launched. Beside
this, I have replaced all the accented letters and it still crashed.

If no one else experiences the same problem, I guess that my setup is
wrong and I will have to find out what I have done bad.

Thanks for your help.
