Installing ModelSim SE on Ubuntu

[risimba]

Hi,
I am brand new to the world of FPGA and the Altera Tools. I have installed QuartusII Web Edition on Ubuntu.

My next step is to install ModelSim SE on Ubuntu 11.10. However when I get to the screen asking for Destination Selection, I am not sure what to select as I keep getting a message asking me to install ModelSim in the same directory as I installed Quartus II.

Please help.

I am sure I can get away without the software for now, however, I like to ensure I have all the platform 'infrastructure' and tooling before I start doing any development.

Thanks for your time.

Vince.

I installed Quartus 11.1sp1 and Modelsim-ASE into Ubuntu 11.10. Here's my notes:

cd ~/temp
sudo /bin/bash /mnt/quartus/11.1sp1_216_modelsim_ase_linux.sh

# This generates an error after uncompressing, so run its setup script explicitly

cd 11.1sp1_216_modelsim_ase_linux
sudo /bin/bash ./setup

# This starts the installation GUI.
#
# Install Modelsim-ASE
# – Install into /opt/altera/11.1sp1_free

# Check that Modelsim works
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/altera/11.1sp1_free/modelsim_ase/linuxaloem
vsim

Cheers,
Dave
