tingo@kg-elitebook:~$ ~/progs/altera/13.0sp1/quartus/bin/quartus /home/tingo/progs/altera/13.0sp1/quartus/bin/quartus: 1: exec: quartus: not found tingo@kg-elitebook:~$ ~/progs/altera/13.0sp1/quartus/bin/quartus --64bit
64-bit works, after installing libpng12 from a deb package.
2020-10-23: bb - sdb5 - try Quartus 13.0sp1
tingo@kg-bsbox:~$ ~/progs/altera/13.0sp1/quartus/bin/quartus --64bit tingo@kg-bsbox:~$ ~/progs/altera/13.0sp1/quartus/bin/quartus quartus: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
64-bit works, and has support for Cyclone II
2020-10-23: bb - sdb5 - try to start Quartus 13.1

ok, no go. Install the old libpng12 deb package

now, re-try
tingo@kg-bsbox:~$ ~/progs/altera/13.1/quartus/bin/quartus --64bit tingo@kg-bsbox:~$ ~/progs/altera/13.1/quartus/bin/quartus quartus: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
64-bit works, but not 32-bit. Unfortunately, 13.1 doesn't have support for Cyclone II. Try 13.0 instead.
2018-11-08: bb - sdb5 -Quartus II 13.0sp1 (64-bit) also works. 2018-11-08: bb - sdb5 - and now Quartus II 13.1 (64-bit) starts. Nice!
2018-11-08: bb - sdb5 - apt - I installed libpng12 from jessie, like this

ok.
2018-11-08: bb - sdb5 - after copying all data from the laptop (e1) to this machine I tried to start Quartus II. 64-bit
tingo@kg-bsbox:~$ ~/progs/altera/13.1/quartus/bin/quartus --64bit quartus: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
and libpng12 (or libpng12-0) doesn't exist for stretch yet
32-bit
tingo@kg-bsbox:~$ ~/progs/altera/13.1/quartus/bin/quartus /home/tingo/progs/altera/13.1/quartus/bin/quartus: 1: exec: quartus: not found
hmm, not sure about this one
