Cannot run Salome-meca 2012.1 on Ubuntu 11.10

Hello,

http://www.code-aster.org/FICHIERS/SALOME-MECA-2012.1-LGPL.tgz

I Extracted the files in home/usr/bin/Salome

Then i executed postinstall, everything seemed to go well : lots of OK.

When i execute runSalomeMeca in terminal i get this message.

./runSalomeMeca: line 50: /home/thibaut/usr/bin/SALOME-MECA-2012.1-LGPL/SALOME/Salome-V6_4_0-x86_64/prerequisites/Python_266/bin/python: cannot execute binary file

I always get the same message.

Any Idea what to do ?

Thank you very much !

I know it's an old post but for another people that can come here.

use 32 or 64 bits?

if you have 32 bit install SALOME-MECA-2010.2 and do this (only for ubuntu 11.04, 11.01 and 12.04):

1. Remove all files in etchForSalome/lib except:
• libg2c.so.0
• libgfortran.so.1
• libicudata.so.36
• libicui18n.so.36
• libicuuc.so.36
• libpng12.so.0
• libreadline.so.5
• libreadline.so.5.2
• libg2c.so.0.0.0
2. Remove directory etchForSalome/bin
3. In prerequis-VXXX.sh remove the line:
• export PATH=${DEBIANFORSALOME}/bin:${PATH}
