I have been running Quartus II 7.x successfully on a machine running Ubuntu 7.04. Yesterday I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04 and ran in to some problems running Quartus.
First of all the command asrch was not found, solved by adding a script called arch containing uname -m. After this the command getpid is missing:$ quartus
getpid: Command not found.
quartus: Command not found.
getpid is normally not a command, but a C function or maybe perl or similar. Is there anyone that knows who is calling getpid and which package that might be missing? / Joakim

Try re-entering values in rc.local for Quartus installation.

Thanks for your help, but what am I supposed to put in rc.local?
Unforunately I didn't install Quartus myself from the beginning so I don't know too many details. Where can I find the best instructions? Most of the documents I can find on the internet expains how to get the licensing to work, by e.g. editing rc.local. But we are using a licence server on a different machine. In that case I thought it would be sufficient to have the env variable LM_LICENCE_FILE point to the server.- Mark as New

The wiki has information on that.

I'm neither using licensing or the jtag tools so I can't see what the changes in rc.local should be good for. It's a multi user mashine so I would like to do as few changes as possible.
Anyway, I think that I found the reason for my problem. I'm running a 64-bit kernel and it could not execute $QUARTUS_ROOTDIR/linux/quartus. (All files in $QUARTUS_ROOTDIR/bin is apparantly the same script executing files in $QUARTUS_ROOTDIR/linux) The solution was to install the package ia32-libs which probably disappeared during the upgrade of Ubuntu.
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
