headus 3D tools

Hi,

I am testing uvlayout trial on a ubuntu linux system. I have configured the path correctly for HEADUS_HOME, PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH. uvlayout starts up just fine but when I try to view the user guide from the menu I get an error in the shell

---bash output---

if: Badly formed number.

---

is there a way to correctly configure uvlayout to see all of its files? I noticed this same shell output from headus 3d tools also. I installed to a /home/user/ dir. I use uvlayout at work and do not get these errors.

thanks.

The user guide is just a PDF file, which you can find in the "www" subdirectory on the UVLayout install directory, so find that and view it as you normally would a PDF file.

The software runs a shell script called "browser" to view the file, and I suspect that's where the error is coming from. If you type "uname" into a shell window, what output do you get?

yes it looks like bash in unable to read your csh scripts.. here is a quick conversion of your csh to bash. this should work for all programs in the path, this works for txtedit also. evince is my pdf reader btw.

-----bash browser script-----
#!/bin/bash
if [ `uname` == Darwin ]; then
exec open "$1"
else if which evince >/dev/null; then
exec evince "$1"
else
exec xmessage -nearmouse " No browser found. See ...\
$0 "
fi

done

one more quick question if you don't mind me asking...
Can I purchase a single Professional License without a physical dongle? I really don't what to use such a thing. A license key or single floating licence would be preferable.

"it looks like bash in unable to read your csh scripts.. "

Yes, correct, but I thought that '/bin/csh' was installed on all linux systems? If its not there, then installing "tcsh" should fix it.

"Can I purchase a single Professional License without a physical dongle? "

Yes, you can have an Ether license if you want. The differences are explained on "uvlayout.com/keys". Just let me know after making the order that you don't want a dongle.
