Installation & problems

  • Continuously under construction
  • pc running Linux - Mint or Ubuntu
  • My problems as well as general remarks regarding Salome, ASTK and Code Aster with respect to this OS are described here.

Linux Mint update - 18 - Sarah

october 2016
Update of OS Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon 64-bit, [Sarah, Linux 4.4.0-21, Cinnamon 3.0.6]
graphics card: NVidia GK208 [GeForce GT 730]
This is based on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Using previously installed version Salome7.8.0

Salome works fine after update of path.
The bash script:

#!/bin/bash
# start salome7.8.0
echo start salome7.8.0
#
cd /media/kees/cae_sg500/salome/salome780/SALOME-7.8.0-OPENSOURCE-UB14
./salome

launches Salome780.

Code-Aster:

Salome7.8.0 Update

august 2016
OS Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon 64-bit (2.4.8)
Linux Mint 17 Rebecca - based on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr LTS version.
This is based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS so I choose Salome7.7.1 Ubuntu14.04 based download.


Extracting via filer and archiver gives the the same error as before (171)

Kw extract Salom771 error.png

Downloading Salome for Debian 7 and using the command, in the download directory:

  • tar -xvzf SALOME-7.8.0-OPENSOURCE-UB14.gz

works fine though (I downloaded Ubuntu14 version now iso Debian07).

The bash script:

#!/bin/bash
# start salome7.8.0
echo start salome7.8.0
#
cd /cae_sg500/salome/salome780/SALOME-7.8.0-OPENSOURCE-UB14
./salome

launches Salome780.

Salome7.7.1 Update

december 2015
OS Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon 64-bit (2.4.8)
Linux Mint 17 Rebecca - based on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr LTS version.
This is based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS so I choose Salome7.7.1 Ubuntu14.04 based download.
Extracting via filer and archiver gives error.

Kw extract Salom771 error.png


Downloading Salome for Debian 7 and using the command, in the download directory:

  • tar -xvzf SALOME-7.7.1-OPENSOURCE-DB07.tgz

works fine though (probably also for Ubuntu14.04 based download).

Starting Salome now by the bash script:

#!/bin/bash
# start salome7.7.1
echo start salome7.7.1
#
cd /cae_sg500/salome/salome771/SALOME-7.7.1-OPENSOURCE-DB07
./salome

does its job.

Salome7.6.0 and Aster 11.7 stable and 12.3 unstable

august 2015
OS Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon 64-bit (2.4.8)
Graphics Card NVidia Corporation Device 1287

Salome 7.6.0

The install procedure of Salome 7.6.0 has been overhauled completely compared to v7.5.1 (runInstall).
I downloaded the general Debian 07 file for Linux Mint 17.
Now the only thing I did was unzip the download file and start Salome:

  • tar xzf SALOME-7.6.0-DB07.tgz (in the download directory)
  • cd /cae_sg500/salome/salome760/SALOME-7.6.0-DB07 (my install directory) and run
  • ./salome

During start up a lot of complaints come along, probably because I didnot set up the config file:

  • ./sat config --edit

Installation is much faster than for previous versions.

Aster 11.7 stable and 12.3 unstable

All dependencies are still intact, see Linux Mint 17 LTS below.
Both 11.7 and 12.3 run without a hassle:

  • in setup.cfg I changed
    • ASTER_ROOT='/cae_sg500/caster/aster117/run' and
    • ASTER_ROOT='/cae_sg500/caster/aster123/run' (works for me) and run the install script:
  • python setup.py install

or in one go, use the install command (for version 11.7 and 12.3) in the appropriate directory:

  • python setup.py install --prefix=/cae_sg500/caster/aster117/run
  • python setup.py install --prefix=/cae_sg500/caster/aster123/run

Linux Mint 17 LTS

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Trusty Tahr

december 2014
fresh install I didnot run Free your CFD (but I should have, see above).

Installation of Salome7.4.0

December 2014
Previously installed Salome7.4.0 from Minst doesnot run properly.</br> A fresh install of Salome7.4.0 complains about the following libraries not available:

  • libglut.so.3 (critical) and
  • libgd.so.2 (critical) as well as
  • libcppunit-1.12.so.1 (not critical), see below:

Kw Salome740 liberror.png

Remedy on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13081854/cannot-install-cuda-5-samples-on-ubuntu-12-04
(see also http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/amd64/freeglut3/filelist) and further on Linux Mint [foldit]:

  • for libglut:
    • sudo apt-get install freeglut3
  • for libgd: Goemetry and Mesh moduls run ....

ASTK

december 2014
ASTK runs with previously installed Linux Mint Version, but;
ASTK complains about .rhosts files (maybe need to fix that) when RUNning:

Linux Mint 14 Nadia - 64-bit - Mate

Installation of openFoam & paraFoam

August 2013
[My installation & install problems of openFoam]

June 2013 - new install Salome7.2.0

Installing Salome 7.2.0 on Linux Mint 14 Nadia - current Salome version 6.6.0.
After downloading Salome720 and during instalation I got the following warnings/errors:

Kw Salome720 liberror.png

The libglut.so.3 causes immediate problems: after the Salome splash screen running from 0 to 100 % the system halts with an error indicating libglut.so.3 is not available. Installing this library by (see [foldit])

sudo apt-get install freeglut3

gives a runnable system as far as I have tested it now.
Note that post-pro is not available anymore in this version. You have to switch to Paraview.

My start-up file:

#!/bin/bash
# start salome7.2.0
echo start salome7.2.0
cd /cae_sg500/salome/salome720/SalomeRun/KERNEL_7.2.0
source salome.sh
cd /cae_sg500/salome/salome720/SalomeRun/KERNEL_7.2.0/bin/salome
./runSalome

Linux Mint 14 Nadia - 64-bit - Mate

December 2012 - new install Salome6.6.0

Linux Mint 14 Nadia (rc at this moment) - based on Ubuntu 12.10
So I changed to Linux Mint - because of Ubuntu's new unity interface.
Once again I followed this upgrade sequence by Free your CFD, up to and including step 2:

sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo rm /bin/sh
sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh

For a 64 bit system only:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
to avoid the error: sh: ./bin/SALOME_InstallWizard: No such file or directory

install gcc (by synaptic/software centre)
to avoid: libg2c.so.1: cannot open shared object file
install gfortran (by synaptic/software centre)
to avoid: libgfortran.so.1: cannot open shared object file and
link the file:
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgfortran.so.3 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgfortran.so.1

Kw Salome660 liberror.png

and my start up script:

#!/bin/bash
#start salome6.6.0
echo start salome6.6.0
cd /cae_sg500/salome6/salome660/salomeRun/KERNEL_6.6.0
source salome.sh
#cd bin/salome
cd /cae_sg500/salome6/salome660/salomeRun/KERNEL_6.6.0/bin/salome
./runSalome


So far - so good!
We continue with Code-Aster. I use the old Ubuntu script to start the old Ubuntu install - and guess what? It runs. Well, nearly. Three problems occur:

  • of course SSH does not run: follow this hint on SSH - dead link. From Public-Key Authentication onwards, running in a standard terminal:
    • [remove ~/.ssh/known_hosts]
    • ssh-keygen -t dsa
      • enter for passphrase
      • enter for passphrase
    • ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub <name>@localhost or
    • ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub <name>@<pcname>

First time ASTK asks for 'yes'/'no'. Select 'yes'. Thereafter it runs without asking input from the user.

Kw ASTK SSH lostconnection.png

  • the correct terminal program is not available. Apparently C-Aster insists on xterm despite any terminal defined by ASTK: Configuration --> Server --> Terminal.

Kw screenshot astk 356.png

So run:

sudo apt-get install xterm

to install xterm (after trying xfce4-terminal - default Mint and gnome-terminal [sudo apt-get install gnome-terminal])).

We have C-Aster running on Linux Mint Nadia 14:

Kw screenshot asjob 356.png

  • but Numpy is not standardly installed on Mint and parts of the *.comm file do not run. So install numpy:
    • sudo apt-get install python-numpy

Ubunty Natty 10.04

December 2011 - upgrade Salome6.4.0 [from version 6.3.1]

Compilation runs fine.
At runtime the libic* files are not found:
Ubuntu Natty (10.04) provides version *.44, Salome asks for *.36.
Just use locate libicu in a terminal to find your version.

Kw warning libicu.png

I created the following symlinks in /usr/lib:

  • ln -s /usr/lib/libicuuc.so.44 /usr/lib/libicuuc.so.36
  • ln -s /usr/lib/libicui18n.so.44 /usr/lib/libicui18n.so.36
  • ln -s /usr/lib/libicudata.so.44 /usr/lib/libicudata.so.36

In the synaptic packagemanager the libicu-dev package has been selected:
Development files for International Components for Unicode
ICU is a C++ and C library that provides robust and full-featured
Unicode and locale support. This package contains the development
files for ICU along with programs used to manipulate data files found
in the ICU sources.

August 2011 - upgrade to Code Aster 11.0 - Salome6.3.1

SalomeMeca (still?) does not run under Natty(?). Problem not solved as far as I know; see [here.]

Download CodeAster11.0.10 and Salome6.3.1
I changed in setup.cfg:

  • PREFER_SHARED_LIBS=False # False/True (no change)
  • ASTER_ROOT='/cae/caster11010' (C-Aster path)
    • or call: python setup.py install --prefix=/cae/caster11010

and added in setup.cfg:

  • MATHLIB="-llapack -lblas" (see thank you B-O)
  • MATHLIB="-llapack -lblas -lgfortran"

CodeAster 10.2 does run the test files.
ASTK runs fine.
I didnot check Eficas.

Salome6.3.1 has the usual libg2c0.so.x.y.z and libgfortran.so.x.y.z offense, see comment for May 2011 - upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04 Natty

Then cd back to download directory of Salome6.3.1 and

  • $ python ./runInstall (-b)

and all goes fine, closing with a warning:

=== WARNING: Some libraries are absent! ===

see image below:

Salome630-Warning.png

Remarks:
ASTK/ASJOB menu entries now in English.

Kw astk interactivefollowup.png

Kw asjob.png

and interactive follow up in action:

Kkw interactive screen.png

Running the install without the -b flag (batch mode, not GUI) doesnot start the installer on my system. Weird.

May 2011 - upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04 Natty

SalomeMeca does not run. Problem not solved as far as I know; see [here.]

Then download CodeAster10.2.x and Salome5.1.5
I changed in setup.cfg:

  • PREFER_SHARED_LIBS=True # False/True
  • ASTER_ROOT='/cae/caster103' (C-Aster path)
    • or call: python setup.py install --prefix=/cae/caster103

CodeAster 10.2 doesnot compile

ASTK has SSH issues:
(this is a bit complicated because CodeAster 10.2 actually did compile once, crashed and after re-install it did not compile anymore ...)
SSH
See SSH for details. From Public-Key Authentication onwards, running in a standard terminal:

    • [remove ~/.ssh/known_hosts]
  • ssh-keygen -t dsa
    • enter for passphrase
    • enter for passphrase
  • ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub <name>@localhost or
  • ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub <name>@<pcname>

First time ASTK asks for 'yes'/'no'. Select 'yes'. Thereafter it runs without aksing the user.

Kw error libgc.png

Salome5.1.5 has the usual libg2c0.so.x.y.z and libgfortran.so.x.y.z offense.
I followed JMB's advise to just copy the following files from Salome5.1.4 to /usr/lib (sorry Claus, next time I have a copy of these files ready and paste them there ;-)), see [here] or [here] (Code Aster references are out of date):

  • libg2c.so.0
  • libg2c.so.0.0.0
  • libgfortran.so.1 and
  • libgfortran.so.1.0.0

[to be precise:

  • $ locate libg2c
    • $ cd to the directory
  • $ sudo cp libg2c.so.0 /usr/lib
  • $ sudo cp libg2c.so.0.0.0 /usr/lib
  • $ locate libgfortran
    • $ cd to the directory
  • $ sudo cp libgfortran.so.1 /usr/lib
  • $ sudo cp libgfortran.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib]

Since computers are just computers, searching for libg2c.so is not the same libg2c.so.0, I created a symlink:

  • ln -s /usr/lib/libg2c.so.0 /usr/lib/libg2c.s0

Then cd back to download directory of Salome5.1.5 and

  • $ python ./runInstall (-b)

and all goes fine, closing with a warning:

=== WARNING: Some libraries are absent! ===
One or several OPTIONAL libraries listed below are not found. This does not
affect on the correct work of SALOME platform.
	libBLSurf.so
	libcppunit-1.12.so.0

BTW: the absence of libgfortran causes the cannot load library libSMESH.so error in the mesh module.

October 2010 - installation of Salome Meca - upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10

Installation of SalomeMeca is flawless. SalomeMeca runs without problem right out of the box.
Upgrade and later complete new installation of Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat (10.10) also alright.

Start file:

#!/bin/bash
# start salomeca2010
# echo start salome
cd /cae/salome514/salomeca/
./runSalomeMeca

Except avi recording. Remedy:

  • check with which jpeg2yuv whether jpeg2yuw is present. Not in my case
  • install mjpegtools via synaptic package manager
  • check again: which jpeg2yuv, now it is: /usr/bin/jpeg2yuv
  • you can check avi recording in Salome now (red button). Not in my case
  • In a terminal copy and paste:
    • sudo mv /bin/sh /bin/sh.orig
    • sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh
    • sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash (needed? I didnot check inbetween)
  • you can check avi recording in Salome now (red button). Now it does.

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 (you need to be 'invited' now), up to and including step 2.
The initial problems with fd disappeared. Some replacements for 64bits libraries are needed.
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

january 2010
Salome, Code Aster, ASTK, OS (Ubuntu)
OS: Ubuntu Karmic 64bit, 9.10

See also Code Aster wiki:
http://www.code-aster.org/wiki/doku.php?id=en:p02_install:compil_ubuntu

See CA forum, eg: http://www.code-aster.org/forum2/viewtopic.php?id=13574

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

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

missing libg2c file

Kw error libg2c.png

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

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

Installation procedure of Salome5.1.3 on Ubuntu Karmic:
Create eg following directories

/cae/salome513
/cae/salome513/install
/cae/salome513/salome513

Download Salome5.1.3 [Debian Etch 4.0 64bit] and save in /cae/salome513/install.
cd /cae/salome513/install
extract downloaded file
cd /cae/salome513/install/InstallWizard_5.1.3_Debian_4.0_64bit
run <python ./runInstall -d /cae/salome513/salome513> and follow instructions
At the end notice the remarks on libBLsurf.so and libcppunit-1.12.so.0 not present and finish.
create text file with content:

#!/bin/bash
# start salome5.1.3
# echo start salome
cd /cae/salome513/salome513/KERNEL_5.1.3
source salome.sh
cd bin/salome
./runSalome

save (as S513karmic.sh on DeskTop)
[donot forgot to allow Execution by Properties, Permisisons]
double click (on S513karmic.sh) --> Salome5.1.3 running

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):
