Great! That worked; finally I can run Quartus under Fedora 11 x86_64. A small correction to your instruction:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

should be
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost myhostname.mydomainname myhostname

but I guess you already knew that.

Note that this should only be neccessary if myhostname.mydomainname is not resolved by your dns server.

The infamous Aborted has a simple solution, or at least one of them…
I made a couple of installations on a laptop (both 32 and 64bits) and all I got was
$quartus
Aborted
I tried every thing traced the winMain and the crach inside rpcss “Not enough memory” tried to get help from winMain.

The solution was so simple, the hostname must be in /etc/hosts or in the dns.
So simply add
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
or update you dhclient

The installer still fail to resolv the name of the Altera server. I thought it was a problem with my network, but I’ve just changed ISP, and the problem remain.

Anyway, it is not your problem so I won’t bother you anymore. I just want to suggest an alternative solution for those of us who have problems with Altera Quartus: Install CentOS 5.2 in a VM. Works perfectly for me; I now start quartus by running:

$ ssh -X quartus.local /opt/altera9.0/quartus/bin/quartus

Send you an email with my i586/i686 installed package list; Probably openssl.i686 package is what is missing;
