actually... this is now working for me after making the following changes to configure_modelsim.sh and running it:

  • changing ALTERA_PATH=~/altera/13.1/ to =~/altera/*/
  • $(ALTERA_PATH)/ to ${ALTERA_PATH} in 2 locations

then updating modelsim_env.sh and running that

THANKS!!

You might have trouble with your NIC not being called eth0 (or ethX) as expected by modelsim, which will make it fail to accept your license file. A workaround is described at http://www.itzgeek.com/how-tos/mini-howtos/change-default-network-name-ens33-to-old-eth0-on-ubuntu-16-04.html

For details about what you're disabling, check FreeDesktop on predictable network interfaces

just a big THANK YOU for these scripts, I was really struggling to get ModelSim 10.5b running on Ubuntu 18.04 until I found these
