Installation & problems

• Continuously under construction
• My pc runs on Ubuntu 64bit
• My problems as well as general remarks regarding Salome, ASTK and Code Aster with respect to this OS are described here.

Update Salome5.1.4 (from 5.1.3) under Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 LTS 64bit

august 2010
I followed the upgrade guidelines by Free your CFD, up to and including step 2.
The initial problems with fd disappeared. Some replacements for 64bits libraries.
All running well now.

New start up file:

#!/bin/bash
# start salome5.1.4
# echo start salome

cd /cae/salome514/salome514/KERNEL_5.1.4
source salome.sh
cd bin/salome
./runSalome

Update OS to Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 LTS 64bit

may 2010
The upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 poses no problems on the use of Salome 5.1.3, ASTK 1.8.0 and Code Aster 10.1.19.

Salome5.1.3 on Ubuntu Karmic [9.10 64bit januari 2010]

Salome5.1.3 Mesh module reports error on folowing libs not found:

• libSMEHS.so
• libg2c.so.0 not found
  
  

missing libg2c file

This can be solved by:
Append at the end of the file /etc/apt/sources.list by issuing the following command

• sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
  

then add

• deb http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-updates main universe
  

save this file

libgfortran.so.1 not found, see:
http://caelinux.com/CMS/index.php?option=com_joomlaboard&Itemid=52&func=view&id=3261&catid=4#msg3261
Fix for: /usr/lib/libgfortran.so.1 not found during meshing Netgen-1D-2D-3D algorithm
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgfortran.so.3.0.0 /usr/lib/libgfortran.so.1
[in my setup libgfortran.so.3 links to libgfortran.so.3.0.0 but does not work ....]

Synaptic package manager
Update the synaptic package manager and search for libg2c0.
Then add:
- libg2c0
- libg2c0-dev
Remove the added line in the /etc/apt/sources.list, to prevent different versions of the OS to collide.
This solved both the libg2c and libSMESH problem.
See eg: http://caelinux.com/CMS/index.php?option=com_joomlaboard&Itemid=52&func=view&id=3603&catid=3#msg3603

SalomeMeca2009 on Ubuntu Karmic [9.10 64bit]

After installation of Ubuntu9.10 Karmic 64bit problems with 32/64 bit libraries occur.

Problems with 64bit versions of libstc++ and libstdc++

libstdc++ and libstdc++.so.5

I followed the suggestion by Artificial Intelligence, saying that:
So you need to install the 32-bit version of libstdc++5 on your 64-bit system.

cd ~/Desktop
wget http://frozenfox.freehostia.com/cappy/getlibs-all.deb
wget http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gcc-3.3/libstdc++5_3.3.6-17ubuntu1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i getlibs-all.deb
getlibs -i libstdc++5_3.3.6-17ubuntu1_i386.deb

See eg: on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1243005&highlight=%26quot%3Blibstdc+.so.5%26quot%3B

libg2c file missing - see also installation of Salome5.1.3

Add at the end of the file /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-updates main universe
Update the synaptic package manager and search for libg2c0. 
Then add:
- libg2c0
- libg2c0-dev
Removed the last line in the /etc/apt/sources.list (ie the line just added to prevent collisions between Ubuntu versionn next time you have an OS update):

Aster10.1 on Ubuntu Karmic [9.10 64bit]

General guidelines see:

Code_Aster 10.1 on Ubuntu 9.10 «Karmic Koala» (CAwiki)

Code Aster Installation on Ubuntu 9.10-64 (CAforum)

Aster10.1

code_aster_forum missing python.h during compilation, install python-dev package by the repository.

Maximum memory
to increase the memory above 2 Gb (by JMB [1]): Edit the config file in [ASTER-ROOT]/etc/codeaster/asrun ([ASTER-ROOT]/ASTK/ASTK_SERV/config in Ver 9 or older). There is a memory limit variable that needs to be modified to 4096 (or higher as one chooses).

(sudo) cp [ASTER-ROOT]/etc/codeaster/asrun /opt/aster/etc/codeaster/asrun.saved

(sudo) gedit [ASTER-ROOT]/etc/codeaster/asrun

Change the value for memory limit as shown below (around line 100):

interactif_memmax : 4096

and save file

in ASTK update server configuration: Configuration --> servers --> Refresh now

Eficas: for Eficas to work properly I had to install python-tk by the repository
