I am trying to run Quartus 13.0 in the following machine:
parrot 4.18.0-parrot10-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.18.10-1parrot10 (2018-10-06) x86_64 GNU/Linux.
I have finished installing Quartus 13.0 and when I try to execute it I get this error:
quartus: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I have read all the related questions in stack overflow and other websites but no one worked for me.
When looking for that file, I found it. I have tried to do a hard link but it doesn't work either. Search results:

I had the same problem with Quartus Prime 18 on Ubuntu. This worked for me (run as sudo):
wget -q -O /tmp/libpng12.deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/libp/libpng/libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb \
&& dpkg -i /tmp/libpng12.deb \
&& rm /tmp/libpng12.deb
