engrid 1.4 installation problem on ubuntu 14.04
 

hi,
I have followed the procedure described in this site:

https://github.com/enGits/engrid/wik...D-Installation

but when I run from terminal the command at the step 7, engrid is not loaded, the terminal says so (translated in english :)) :

roberto@roberto-N56JRH:~/engrid/src$ ./start_engrid.bash
./start_engrid.bash: line 3: ./engrid: no such File or directory

I haven't still installed openfoam, but I don't believe that is this the problem.
I'm new forum user, I don't know if must open a new topic or use this one...

thanks a lot in advance.
Roberto

Greetings Roberto and welcome to the forum!

Sorry, I haven't managed to update enGrid's wiki page yet.

In the mean time, please follow the instructions on the following posts:

2. http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/eng...tml#post475109 post #6

Best regards,

i have qt4:
"QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.8.6 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu"
I've follow also the post #6
I don't have any problem during the installation, but the program doesn't start, in /home/roberto/engrid/src/start_engrid.bash there are the following commands:
#!/bin/bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./libengrid:./netgen_svn:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
./engrid
I'm not an expert of informatic field, however these are my tentatives:
roberto@roberto-N56JRH:~/engrid$ ./build.bash
usage :
build.bash CONFIGURATION
CONFIGURATION = fedora
ubuntu
opensuse-11.2
opensuse-11.3
opensuse-11.4
opensuse-12.1

You can start enGrid by typing 'engrid' from the command line (as non-root user) or with the help of the desktop menus.

roberto@roberto-N56JRH:~$ engrid
/home/roberto/engrid/run.bash: line 26: /home/roberto/engrid/src/engrid: no such File or directory
maybe the problem is more simple than it seems...

Hi Roberto,

I haven't managed to look into this sooner, but I re-read your previous post and it seems you missed an important detail... when you ran:
it told you that a parameter was missing. You should have then run:
Best regards,

the problem is always the same, nothing is changed, probably, I will install it on windows 8 :(...
thanks anyway Bruno

Hi
I am now using Ubuntu 14.04, I have no problem with the installation up until the command to start the programme. After the engrid build when I run the command,
./start_engrid.bash

engrid will not run.
this is the terminal messages:
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

I am aware that another user had a similar problem and although I followed the threat I can not get to the bottom of this.

please help

It seems there is a file missing; I am sure the solution is a simple one I just need a bit of guidance:

gowain@gowain-Aspire-V5-122P:~$ engrid
/home/gowain/engrid/run.bash: line 26: /home/gowain/engrid/src/engrid: No such file or directory
gowain@gowain-Aspire-V5-122P:~$

line 24 to 26 in the gedit reads:
dir=`dirname $0`
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$dir/src/libengrid:$dir/src/netgen_svn:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$dir/src/engrid

according to error tcl8.5 is not installed on your system ; please install it and report error again

Thanks guys! Sorted. I can now use engrid for CFD simulations instead of using the tedious numerical blockmeshDict file approach for openfoam!
Looking forward to getting stuck into summer MSc project on aircraft passenger thermal comfort.
kind regards
I hope neo by matrix gets sorted too, if not. shoot me a message!

Hi eagle mckenna
can you tell me how do you finally solved the problem?
i have the same problem... :(

solution
 

OK, you need to install the following:
download the tar from this link: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/tcl8.5
and as root move the corresponding files to: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/amd64/tcl8.5/filelist
let me know if this works!

solution revisited
 

i have had to install engrid on my home machine: the solution to the error is tedious, you may not need to do the above: download the following via a mirror link:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/am...cl8.5/download
unzip it
as root within terminal move the files to their corresponding directories.
take care.
let me know how it goes.

I am not sure whether you were able to solve this issue or not. The error during Make is due to missing tcl library as shown below.
Simple fix to this to install this library seperately which can be done by executing
After this, just re run
