Workbench 11-Linux Intel EM64T platforms Seg fault

Maciej Karczewski

Hi all,

I get a segmentation fault error when attempting to run ANSYS workbench on my Linux machine:

"Segmentation fault $DS_INSTALL_DIR/workbench -StartPage $*"

I've noticed that this topic has been already posted on the CFD forum, but no clear answer has been given. Here are the specs of the system I am using:

Intel Core 2 Duo 4GB mem 2x nVidia GeForce 7600 GS OpenSUSE 10.2 kernel 2.6.18 ANSYS 11.0

I've searched briefly for an answer to this question on other ansys forums. Apparently, there is a problem with the libraries. I know that ANSYS officially does not support this release of SUSE, but downgrading isn't an option for me. Earlier SUSE versions do not see the HDD and CD jmicron SATA controllers and it would require ton of work to fix that.

One idea is to use some Win emulator to virtually launch Win under Linux (dual booting machine required) and prepare geom's in such way saving them on FAT32 partition, but I feel there should be a better solution than that.

Has anyone been able to find a workaround to this?!

Thanks in advance.
