There's probably a simpler solution or package to install, so if anyone knows, that would be helpful.
This lead me to install libxft2:i386 with:īut Linux wasn't done preventing me from running Model Sim:Įrror while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directoryĪnd I wasn't done breaking down the barriers:Īfter this the software launched correctly from terminal and also from within Quartus II. However, when I tried to run Model Sim from the terminal (done by executing vsim from the / altera/13.0/modelsim_ase/linuxaloem/ directory) I was given another error:Įrror while loading shared libraries: libXft.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory For example, if I had installed it in /opt/, then navigate to /opt/modelsimase/bin and run: cd /opt/modelsimase/bin. The solution was to install a different package with the following command: 2) Navigate to the Quartus installation directory in terminal. Click the Library tab, in Search Libraries (-L), click Add. The workspace contains a list of modules and libraries of modules. 4.6 If the simulation is a Verilog design, specify the precompiled libraries (ModelSim pre-compiled libraries) a. The menu is used to access functions available in ModelSim. using "sudo apt-get install ia32-libs") since the package was not available. The ModelSim program window, shown in Figure7, consists of four sections: the main menu at the top, a set of workspace tabs on the left, a work area on the right, and a command prompt at the bottom.
Honestly, I dont have much of experience with simulation software like ModelSim-Altera but I do know how to use. Im designing an LCDdriver for the VEEK-MTs LCD touch screen by terasic with the Cyclone IV EP4CE115 by Altera. Initially I thought this may have been a licencing issue, which would have been strange since I was using the free "Web Edition".Īfter searching for a while, similar problems were being experienced by others due to the ia32-libs libraries not being installed, but I wasn't able to install them (i.e. Alteras DK-DEV-3C120N DK-DEV-3C120N Cyclone III FPGA Development Kit combines the largest density low-cost, low-power FPGA available with a robust set of memories and user interfaces. Im using Ubuntu Linux 14.04 LTS with Altera Quartus 15.0 web-edition and Im having a hard time simulate my design due to licensing errors. So I thought the installation of Quartus was successful, and I'd finished writing a VHDL test bench, but when I went to launch the Model Sim simulation software from within Quartus I was shown an error message:Ĭan't launch ModelSim-Altera Simulation software - make sure the software is properly installed and the environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE or MGLS_LICENSE_FILE points to the correct license file.
