quartus: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Environment

  • Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition

    • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8*

    BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
    Description

    Due to a problem in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 23.3 and earlier, you might see this error message when launching the Quartus® Software GUI in the Red Hat* Enterprise Linux* 8 Operating System (OS). This is because the required shared library is not found in the OS system.

    Resolution

    To work around this problem, link the required shared library libncurses.so.5 from the available libncurses.so.6.1 by using the following command:

    ln -s /usr/lib64/libncurses.so.6.1 /usr/lib64/libncurses.so.5

    This problem is fixed beginning with the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 23.4.
