QuartusII 14.1.0 Debian Linux crash


I can't use Quartus 14.1.0 with Linux Debian (wheezy and Jessie) on my 64 bits computer.

If I launch it on console I've got this message :

user@fpgaformation:/opt/altera/14.1/quartus/bin$ ./quartus
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-close.c: 743: _dl_close: Assertion `map->l_init_called' failed!

And the GUI is launched correctly. But, after some minutes of using it, quartus disappear suddenly without message on terminal but with an altera problem-window. In this window, we can get the following report :

Quartus II Information
Address bits: 64
Version: 14.1.0
Build: 186
Edition: Web Edition

I use also QuartusII 14.0.0 which work well on the same computer.

I know that Altera does'nt support Debian officially (only RedHat) but if somebody has a clue ?


Solution

  • It's a known bug in Altera. They provided me a patch to correct it :

    quartusii-14.1-0.19-linux.run
    

    The patch can be found on altera support website : rd01272015_37

    I applied it and quartus work well now. I think they will publish this correction soon.
