Error in processing. System NOT successfully generated.

My directory structure is /tools/altera/quartus5 and nios2 is in /tools/altera/kits

Operating system is redhat 7.3

Path variables given in bash_profile are given below

PATH=$PATH:/tools/altera/quartus5/bin

export QUARTUS_ROOTDIR=/tools/altera/quartus5

export SOPC_BUILDER_PATH=/tools/altera/kits/nios2

export niosbin=/tools/altera/kits/nios2/bin

export niosgnu=/tools/altera/kits/nios2/bin/nios-gnupro/bin

Can any one help me to reolve this problem.

Thanking You in advance

Hello,

On the Linux platform, I would recommend starting everything from within an SDK shell. In that way, you don't have to worry about any environment variables, other than the license server.

In your particular case, you missed the SOPC_KIT_NIOS2 environment variable.
