Archlinux install

Hello,

 I try to install Salome on archlinux using the universal binary. It doesnt work for the moment, this is the output of the install:

To run the application:

$ /home/yann/salome/appli_V7_4_0/salome

When I try to run the binary , it doesn't exist:

[yann@yann_machine Downloads]$ /home/yann/salome/appli_V7_4_0/salome

bash: /home/yann/salome/appli_V7_4_0/salome: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

Do i need to install Drafsight in /opt ?

Does someone have Salome working on arch ?

Thanks for your answers

hello

it looks like the /home/yann/salome was not empty

and/or was set with strange permissions

i suggest you delete it and try again

regarding DraftSight 

you surely do not need to install it anywhere to have a running installation of Salome

this may come from the strange directory i noted above

I created PKGBUILDs for KERNEL, GUI, GEOM, MED, SMESH, PARAVIS, HEXABLOCK and YACS modules. They are available on AUR:

You can find PKGBUILDs on AUR

Tester are welcome!

I have the same problem as Yann.

0) Platform is amd64, and an up to date Gentoo installation.

1) Downloaded the universal installer - it sits in the ~/Downloads dir. I changed its permissions to 744

2) ~ has permissions:

       drwxr-xr-x 46 agl    agl    69632 Jan  6 11:30 agl

3) Under ~, there is NO salome dir

4) I run the universal binary from ~

    ~/Downloads/Salome-V7_4_0-LGPL-x86_64.run

5) It goes through the install process and I accept the defaults.

6) The installation runs, says a few things can't be found, sed, salome_prerequisites.xml etc and then says the install was successful and how to run the app:

7) Upon trying to run the app as told to in the last line of the installers instructions, nothing happens. There are two files in there, the log and xml files.

8) The permissions on the created salome dir are as follows:

drwxr-xr-x  4 agl    agl           24 Jan  6 11:52 salome

9) All of the above is done as the user agl and I have done the install multiple times.

Any ideas as to what is going wrong?

p.s. Get a better edit box - this thing I'm typing into is rubbish. There is no ability to indent/group code etc.

hello Andrew

i tried to run Salome-V7_4_0-LGPL-x86_64.run in a fresh Debian install with all defaults

and i do have as terminal output

Creating SALOME application in /home/***/salome/appli_V7_4_0 ...

The SALOME application was successfully created.

To run the application:

................

no mention of 

....: No such file or directory

the trouble is probably there, some useful files are not present, but where? mystery!

however the mention

The SALOME application was successfully created.

seems a bit pretentious

p.s. i agree with you

p.s. Get a better edit box - this thing I'm typing into is rubbish. There is no ability to indent/group code etc.

although i prepare the text in a text editor and paste it in

I've deleted the existing salome dir again and this time tried to install the app when I've been in the same dir as the installer - last time I tried from my home dir and pathed to the installer. I still get the same problem. I thought "sed"  might be missing, but no, it's there.

I've just tried copying the installer into my home dir and tried again, but still with the same results.

Just what is this magical installer anyway? Is it some sort of script or archive? Can I somehow list the contents to make sure the listed as missing files are actually there? Can I manually extract the contents of this magical file? Has anyone at "Salome Central" actually checked the installer to ensure that the files that I'm being told are missing are actually there or have they actually tried the installer?

The thing that concerns me is that the errors are things such as:

......

and

cp: cannot stat ‘/.config/CatalogResources.xml.default’: No such file or directory

cp: cannot stat ‘/.config/CatalogResources.xml.default’: No such file or directory

all three of which refer to a file that would be in the root directory of the file system, not in the current dir or the users home dir. Can someone from "Salome Incorporated" please answer these questions. I'm trying to use Salome for my PhD research and this is holding me back quite severely.

    Regards,

        Andrew

p.s. I've just tried copying the installer into the root dir, /, and trying the install from there, both as a user and root and once again, it fails.

we have reach a point where i am afraid i cannot help you anymore

to summarize

i can install the Universal Binaries on a SuSE 13.1 and a Debain 7 machine

and i can do the install in $HOME or in a sub dir of /opt (with regular user permission)

if i remember well, a few years ago, i installed a Mandriva version on a SuSE machine

i never had the guts to compile Salome from source despite a few attempts

i contribute to this forum for many years ago

i have hardly ever seen somebody from the Salome team explaining these troubles about installation

never mind how it works!

your troubles seem to be distribution related 

i do not know Gentoo which is supposed to be quite different

what i suggest

1- try some of the officially supported Linux platforms, Debian, Mandriva ...

2- if it does not work try to compile

3- last option change the distribution or use a VM

hello Andrew

a solution to your problem might be using Salome-Meca available here

http://www.code-aster.org/V2/spip.php?article303

Salome-Meca is a bundle of Salome and Code_Aster

it is much easier to install than the native Salome

and you have a full working Salome with in addition a version of Code_Aster

On AUR you can find an updated version of NETGENPLUGIN!

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/salome-netgenplugin

Happy modeling!

You need python2.7

For gentoo users:

#eselect python list

  [1]   python2.7 *
  [2]   python3.4

With python3.4 fails,

My workaround to install and run salome760 on archlinux using the universal binary.
My installation folder: Salome-760.
Installation with terminal, first export variables, than start the installation:

$ export SALOMEDIR="/home/<user>/Salome-760/Salome-V7_6_0-x86_64"
$ export ROOT_SALOME="/home/<user>/Salome-760/Salome-V7_6_0-x86_64
$ export DEFAULTAPPLIDIR="/home/<user>/Salome-760/appli_V7_6_0"

$ /home/<user>/./Salome-V7_6_0-LGPL-x86_64.run -v -t /home/<user>/Salome-760 -l en

# one way to start salome, python3 fail:

$ python2.7 /home/<user>/Salome-760/appli_V7_6_0/salome

# another way to start with modified file: /home/<user>/Salome-760/appli_V7_6_0/runAppli

    -- export APPLI=`${APPLI_HOME}/getAppliPath.py`
    ++ # export APPLI=`${APPLI_HOME}/getAppliPath.py`
    ++ export APPLI="/Salome-760/appli_V7_6_0"

$ /home/<user>/Salome-760/appli_V7_6_0/runAppli

Hi,

I tried to install Universal binaries for Linux on a Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS. Here is the terminal output:

Despite the two lines after the installation where /salome_prerequisites.sh & salome_modules.sh are missing it looks to me the same what Andrew experienced, just on a Ubuntu.

the ./runAppli is not existing in:

##

appli_V7_6_0.log  config_appli.xml

##

but in:

<user>@YourPC:/home/goetze2/salome/Salome-V7_6_0-x86_64/modules/KERNEL_V7_6_0/bin/salome/appliskel#

running ./salome here leads to:

I know that I'm mixing up the two apparently completely ways for installing salome 7.4 and 7.6, but I tried both separately doing exactly what

http://www.salome-platform.org/forum/forum_9/542883894

is saying- the errors I get after installation are the same. So could anyone by so nice and explain its workaround a little bit more in detail as I'm not sure what is really working..

Thanks a lot

Hello,

Thanks matthias i finally manage to install Salome-meca2018 on archlinux, i'll try to descibe my workaround:

 - first problem the python3 by default in arch , you can force it to python2 just for the session:

          $ sudo ln -sf python2 python

    then check it worked (it should return something like that : lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     7 18 août  19:19 python -> python2)

          $ ls -lah | grep python

  Then run the install script:

       $ sh salome_meca-2018-LGPL-2.run

 - Third problem the app is not launching something wrong with the glibc version (see here : http://www.salome-platform.org/forum/forum_9/322811199 )

    go to  /home/<user>/salome_meca/V2018/prerequisites/debianForSalome/lib

    only keep those library (backup the others)

libgfortran.so

libgfortran.so.3

libicudata.so.52

libicui18n.so.52

libicuuc.so.52

libpng12.so.0

    open /home/<user>/salome_meca/V2018/salome_prerequisites.sh and put # before the line :

    export DEBIANFORSALOME=${PREREQUISITES_ROOT_DIR}/debianForSalome

then the salome_meca is launching

Sorry i made a mistake on the line :

$ export DEFAULTAPPLIDIR="/home/<user>/salome_meca/V2018"

sould be :

$ export DEFAULTAPPLIDIR="/home/<user>/salome_meca/appli_V2018"

and this is the library needed in  /home/<user>/salome_meca/V2018/prerequisites/debianForSalome/lib otherwise asterstudy is not launching

libgfortran.so

libgfortran.so.3

libgfortran.so.3.0.0

libicudata.so.52

libicui18n.so.52

libicuuc.so.52

libopenblas.so

libopenblas.so.0

libopenblasp-r0.2.12.so

libpng12.so.0
