I am deliberately not increasing the pkgrel to avoid making everyone rebuild a massive package. If you have problems with vsim and can't find package Img, you can rebuild manually or simply fix the symlink to the correct destination.

elsaturnino, ARandomOWL, darsor: yes, my bad. I thought I added the lib32-tkimg dependency, but it seems I did only for quartus-free-130. I couldn't reproduce the error because I always had that package installed. Anyway, the regex will work if you have lib32-tkimg installed at build time, and the PKGBUILD should be fixed now.

I also get the same error as @ARandomOWL. Has any solution been found?

EDIT: nevermind, I found the problem.

The pkgbuild contains

# Modelsim bundles a copy of tkImg linked to old versions of libs  
# Replace by system version  
rm -rf "${pkgdir}${_alteradir}/modelsim_ase/linuxaloem/Img1.3"  
ln -s /usr/lib32/Img[0-9]* "${pkgdir}${_alteradir}/modelsim_ase/linuxaloem/Img"  

I'm guessing this regex is supposed to match any installed version of Img, but in my case I have /usr/lib32/Img1.4.7, which doesn't match. On top of that, ln doesn't interpret the regex and tries to link a literal "/usr/lib32/Img[0-9]*", which of course results in a broken link.

I fixed it by linking the correct Img directory path (in my case /usr/lib32/Img1.4.7) to /opt/altera/18.0/modelsim_ase/linuxaloem/Img.

That correct directory came from lib32-tkimg, which should be a dependency.

I have the same problem as @elsaturnino, except the output I get is:

Error in startup script: can't find package Img
Initialization problem, exiting.

    while executing

Quartus seems to work fine, but I am getting the following error when trying to run the vsim command.

Error in startup script: can't find package Img
Initialization problem, exiting.

Initialization problem, exiting.

Initialization problem, exiting.

    while executing
"Transcript::action_log "PROPREAD \"$key\" \"$value\"""
    (procedure "VsimProperties::Init" line 59)

    (procedure "PropertiesInit" line 18)

"PropertiesInit"
    invoked from within
"ncFyP12 -+"
    (file "/mtitcl/vsim/vsim" line 1)
** Fatal: Read failure in vlm process (0,0)

I thought maybe I needed to install tkimg (or lib32-tkimg) but that didn't fix the problem.

Requires community/libpng12.

I updated this package to the current version. In doing so, I ended up reimplementing the installer to work around the deadlock bug. I have tested common functionality in both Quartus and ModelSim, but I cannot guarantee the installation is 100% functional. Please report any problems you have updating.

gbs commented on 2018-05-31 14:24 (UTC)

Sequencer: version 18.0 is already out, do you still intend to update this package?

Sequencer commented on 2018-02-24 04:14 (UTC)

I will take over this package.

I don't use Altera anymore so I haven't run Quartus in awhile. As much as I miss the polished feel of Quartus compared to Libero, I don't really have a need to keep it on my machine anymore so if anyone would like to take over maintenance, that would be great. Plus, I'm sure there is a much better way to do the install that I'm not seeing. I think I tried to update the script sometime last year but things weren't working quite right and work has me a lot busier than I'd like.
