QUARTUS_INIT_LIBPATH
The QUARTUS_INIT_LIBPATH specifies the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable
needed by some EDA tools. You should set this variable to the EDA tool’s
LD_LIBRARY_PATH if the EDA tool requires an LD_LIBRARY_PATH
variable.
Other Workstation Configuration
Information
This section describes other workstation configuration information,
including user names, language settings, fonts, printers, and 64-bit
processing:
■ If you want to change user names at a workstation using the su
command, you must type the following command at the command
prompt before starting the Quartus II software:
su - <username> r
Changing user names using the su <username> command (without the
dash) causes the new user to use the environment settings from the
previous user, which may cause the Quartus II software to stop
responding.
■ By default, generated fonts are saved to the /<user home directory>
/.mw directory; however, having the font cache saved to these
directories for each user may cause unnecessary duplication of fonts.
You can avoid this problem by specifying a directory to contain all the
generated fonts for the display. To specify this directory, type the
following command at the command prompt:
setenv MWFONT_CACHE <new directory name> r
■ If the Quartus II software stops responding due to an internal error,
determine whether any of the following processes are running:
mwrpcss quartus_sim
quartus quartus_pow
quartus_map quartus_stp
quartus_fit quartus_pgm
