From: Petter Gustad on 22 Mar 2010 09:38 I've been running Quarus under Gentoo for quite a few years. Despite that Gentoo is not an officially supported Linux distribution by Altera, it has worked fine with practically no problems. After upgrading to 9.1 I keep getting the message: rpm: Command not found. whenever I launch an Altera program. However, I thought this caused no problems other than the output of this message on stdout. I don't know why Quartus always runs rpm, maybe to query packages under Red Hat. But it seems like if I run "sopc_builder --generate" sopc_builder will be confused by the excessive output and think that its sub-process has failed: Error: qmegawiz command failed stdout: stderr:rpm: Command not found. Have anybody figured out a workaround for this? I tried to write a script called rpm which quitely returns success, but it seems like Quartus looks for rpm at a specific location as it does not take my bait. Petter -- ..sig removed by request.
From: d_s_klein on 22 Mar 2010 12:20 It's part of Altera's 'check for updates'. Just install rpm and be done with it; that's what I did.

It seems like the real rpm is causing problems when I run sopc_builder: Error: i2c_hdmi: error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - No such file or directory (2) I don't have a single rpm file in my Altera installation nor in my design database, or in my home directory. Is Quartus actually trying to store IP in /var/lib/rpm (which usually requires root access)? This is odd as I never had any problems with Quartus up to 9.0. Petter -- ..sig removed by request.

Petter, Looks like rpm hasn't been through a successful "first run". The db3 file contains the rpm 'state' as it were. Let rpm rebuild its database - if that doesn't work, I'll dig out my install notes. RK
