Quartus II on SuSE Linux 8.1

-- Installs fine.

-- quartus -g comes up fine.

-- Loads an existing project fine.

-- Recompiles a windows precompiled project fine

-- Can't compile a new project itself.
Tries for a while then says

"Error: Current module quartus_map ended unexpectedly".

Given your good results, I will attempt to duplicate them
and report back. Vielen Dank.

Quartus II V3.0 SP2 is running full compilations here on SuSE Linux 8.1.
quartus_map error is gone.

Thanks Charles and someguy@Altera.

I may surplus my win2k box :)

Just tested it on SuSE 9.0 and the problem is gone here too.

Unfortunately it will not run on x86-64:

$cat /etc/SuSE-release
SuSE Linux 8.2 (x86-64)
VERSION = 8.2

$/net/sciraid2/raid2/home/local-linux-x86/altera/quartus2-3.0sp2/bin/quartus_sh
Unknown Linux processor
MWARCH: Undefined variable.
MWCURRENT_LIBPATH: Undefined variable.

It might be possible to modify the script (qenv.csh) to think that
it's running on a plain x86. Tools from Synopsys, Cadence, and even
Xilinx ISE 6.1i runs on this machine.

As for using csh I would like quote Linus:

The only way tcsh "rocks" is when the rocks are attached to its feet
in the deepest part of a very deep lake. (Linus Torvalds)
