Installation issues on Ubuntu 13.10
 

Hi
I am currently having issues installing enGrid on Ubuntu 13.10. The error report I am getting is:

I am quite new with Ubuntu, but as I see it it is missing some files in vtk-5.8, but even though I try reinstalling vtk, the same error shows. Has anyone else had issues with installing enGrid on Ubuntu 13.10 ?
I've the installation methods on https://github.com/enGits/engrid/wik...D-Installation without any luck.

Greetings Jeggi and welcome to the forum!

Have you tried following these instructions: https://github.com/enGits/engrid/wik..._Ubuntu_system - namely the ones from section "Building enGrid on an Ubuntu system"?
Because the error you've gotten indicates that the development files for Qt have not been installed.

For example, if you run:
What does it give you?

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno, thanks for the quick answer !
I've tried following those instructions without any result.
When I run Qumake --version I get
- Jeggi

Hi Jeggi,

Qt 5.0.2 is not supported. You need to install Qt 4.8.4.
You can check if you have both versions installed, by running:
If you do have qmake-qt4, then before step #7, run:
Then continue from step #7.

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi again Bruno

Running
"qmake-qt4 --version"
Gives
Using Qt version 4.8.4 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
and running
qmake-qt5 --version
gives the message
"Command not found"

When I run
"sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev"
I get
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
libqt4-dev is already the newest version.

and when I run
make clean
I get
make: *** No rule to make target `clean'. Stop

When I then run
qmake
make -j 4
after running step 1-6, I get the same error as in the first post.

Do you have any other suggestions on what I should do ?

- Jógvan

Hi Jógvan,

I made new installation of Ubuntu 13.10 64bit in a virtual machine, updated the packages to the latest for 13.10 and then installed the packages specified in the wiki page, along with installing the Qt5 files and respective development files.
The following steps, starting from where you are, should work:

1. Go into the folder "engrid/src".
2. Run:
   
   Code:

   ---

   make clean
rm Makefile* libengrid/Makefile* netgen_svn/Makefile*
source scripts/setup_pathes.bash
export PATH=$PWD/scripts:$PATH

   ---

3. Continue following the instructions from the step #7 from here: https://github.com/enGits/engrid/wik..._Ubuntu_system

Let us know if this fixes the problem!

Best regards,
Bruno

You are a genius !
It works perfectly. Thanks a lot for the help :)

Jógvan

Hello everyone,

I've got a similar problem... I try to install engrid on Ubuntu 14.04 and it doesn't work. I tried all of your hints but there is still the same mistake. Maybe you will find my mistake.

These are the last colums of the command make -j 2

g++ -m64 -Wl,-O1 -o engrid release/main.o release/qrc_engrid.o -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -L/usr/X11R6/lib64 -lm -ltcl8.5 -L./libengrid -lengrid -L./netgen_svn -lng -L/usr/lib -lQVTK -lvtkCommon -lvtkDICOMParser -lvtkexoIIc -lvtkFiltering -lvtkftgl -lvtkGenericFiltering -lvtkGraphics -lvtkHybrid -lvtkImaging -lvtkIO -lvtkRendering -lvtksys -lvtkVolumeRendering -lvtkWidgets -lpthread -lQtXml -lQtOpenGL -lQtGui -lQtNetwork -lQtCore -lGL

if I ask for the version, I got this answer:

QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.8.6 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

It would be wonderful if anyone might find the solution for my problem.

Thank you so much and nice regards,

Stephie

Okay, I found my mistake.. I had to install ltcl8.5 and now it works :)

Hi, I am getting the same error as you do. Could you kindly tell me how to install ltcl8.5?

Best regards,

Kate

Quick answer:
At least in Ubuntu, although I haven't double-checked if it works as well in Ubuntu 14.04 and 14.10.

Thank you, it works now (Ubuntu 14.04)!

Hi!
I'm having problems installing enGrid on linux Mint 18.
At first i had the same problem as Jeggi, but it was solved by wyldckat. (Thanks!)

Now after a few minute compiling i have this error:
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks!

I found he solution!
I just needed to install libqt4-opengl-dev
Good to know

cannot install enGrid in Ubuntu 22.04LTS
 

Dear all,
Special thanks to Bruno!! It made the installtion work a little longer...
Still with the necessary packages and installations...I couldn't install it in my Ubuntu 22.04 LTS system.
Followerd are the steps: (Similar to Github link) https://github.com/enGits/engrid/wik..._Ubuntu_system

1. Downlaoded .zip from github.
2. Extracted in a folder called enGrid.
3. cd src
4. source scripts/setup_pathes.bash
Got this
The script is unable to detect the location of your VTK installation.
Please set the following variables manually
- VTKINCDIR
- VTKLIBDIR
5. So ran "export VTKINCDIR=/usr/local/include/vtk
export VTKLIBDIR=/usr/local/lib
6. scripts/build-nglib.sh
7. qmake
8. make -j 4
Go this error
engrid.h:30:10: fatal error: vtkSmartPointer.h: No such file or directory
30 | #include <vtkSmartPointer.h>
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
compilation terminated.
compilation terminated.

1.4/src/libengrid'
make: *** [Makefile:92: sub-libengrid-libengrid-pro-make_first-ordered]
Error 2
9. To terminate this error I moved to opt/openFoam9 folder to find paraview
5.6 and then copied all the files from there to the enGrid/engrid-release-
1.4/src/libengrid
10. Ran Bruno's code in src folder
make clean
rm Makefile* libengrid/Makefile* netgen_svn/Makefile*
source scripts/setup_pathes.bash
export PATH=$PWD/scripts:$PATH
11. qmake
make -j 4
things started running
12. After many pink and blue ticks it showing the error in between as
egvtkobject.h:631:8: error: ‘class
vtkXMLUnstructuredGridWriter’ has no member named ‘SetInput’; did
you mean ‘GetInput’?
631 | vtu->SetInput(SubGrid);
Possible improvement: I think using older version of paraview files may help!
please suggest
