headus 3D tools

[gusttavopv]

Hello and thanks for reading:

I am trying to install Headus for open suse 11.2 and I followed the instructions accordingly.

I modified the .bashrc and added these lines :

export HEADUS_HOME=/usr/local/uvlayout-pro
export PATH=$HEADUS_HOME/bin:$PATH

Created the directory for $HEADUS_HOME and the folders are correctly set up here:

/usr/local/uvlayout-pro


Also, I downloaded the missing libraries and moved them to :

$HEADUS_HOME/lib

However, when I try to run "setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $HEADUS_HOME/lib " I get an error. : Command not found...I even copy it and paste it and wrote it myself.

Aftet that I tried to run "uvlayout" from the terminal and gave it the correct path but I get this >_<

uvlayout: error while loading shared libraries: libgomp.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

Is there anyway on which I can fix this problem?

I already went into the hunt for libgomp.so.1 but found different versions...and I honestly don't want to download something I don't need.

Thank you in advance.

"when I try to run "setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $HEADUS_HOME/lib " I get an error."

My apologies, that would only work for Tcsh shell users, not Bash shell users. I've just corrected the info on the OpenMotif page, and what you need to do is
and these lines to your ~/.bashrc ...

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HEADUS_HOME/lib

"libgomp.so.1: cannot open shared object file"

I've never worked with Suse myself, but a quick google search indicates the "yast" is one way to install missing packages on your system. I'd recommend using an application like that rather than downloading RPM files directly.

Thanks Phil,

I will work on it "asap" and I will make sure to post a reply and steps on installing Headus in Open SuSe.

For now I'm stuck with the libgomp.so.1 but that's something else related to Suse.

Either way thank you for reply.

Hello,

I'm back. . . again>_<

Well, after going back and forth I have not been able to get Headus to work and now it seems that I went back two steps.

This is what I have in my ~.bashrc

export HEADUS_HOME=/usr/local/uvlayout-demo

export PATH=$HEADUS_HOME/bin:$PATH


But when I try to run uvlayout I get this error:

cysliceP: error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Both of those files are there within their respective folders.

Thank you.

It looks like setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH isn't working under Suse then.

Another way to do it is via the "ld.so.conf" system, but you need root access to set that up. I found some instructions here ...

http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-setting-changing-library-path/

By the looks of that, you'd create a file called /etc/ld.so.conf.d/uvlayout-demo.conf and put /usr/local/uvlayout-demo/lib into it, then run ldconfig.

Oh, and the previous demo license runs out today, so you'll need to download the tgz install file again if you haven't already.

Hello Phil,
I was able to create the library path and I don't have any issues regarding the libraries.

But now I have a different issue: the license.

I re-downloaded the demo version as you said (since it expired).

Then decided to reinstall Headus for peace of mind.

In the Gnome terminal I ran ./headus and the "Headus 3D Tools" pops out and displays the days left in the demo license. So, it works.

Then I ran ./uvlayout and I get this error: sh: cysliceD: command not found.

And I when trying to run ' cysliceD ' to find out what's going on I get this:

cysliceD: License not found, or expired, for cysliceD v3.4

If you don't have a key yet, or wish to
extend your license, contact your vendor
and quote them this code string.

I don't know why I get it since when running "headus" it displays everything correctly.

Thank you,

Gustavo

That sounds like you're still missing the $HEADUS_HOME/bin from your PATH.

Hello Phil,

Thank you so much for your help and been patient regarding the issue.

It works now:D

So, this is what I have in my .bashrc directory:

export HEADUS_HOME=/usr/local/uvlayout-demo

export PATH=$HEADUS_HOME/bin:$PATH

Again, thank you so much for your help.

Great! And thanks to Geoff for covering for me ... I've been travelling so haven't had a chance to check the forums until today.

Hello GeoffRiley,

I greatly appreciate your response on the forum and the link.

Sorry for taking a while on saying (thank you) but I did not read carefully and "though" it was Phil.

Either way...thanks to both of you for your replies in the matter.

No worries Gustavo, I'm not looking for any praise: just happy to help... as you can see it's been a while since I was able to get back: but that's for the worst kind of reason --- my internet connection has been flaking out for the last three weeks or so. Turned out to be a wiring short at the local exchange! On the bright side I get a compensation payment for the downtime.

I try to look in regularly, but _real_ work commitments often get in the way --- I'm a programmer like Phil, 3D is just my hobby, and I find that both skills come in useful to help others in this world.
