Yade

Latest Yade Installation Fron Source

Asked by Hadda

Hello,

I recently installed yade (2016-06-26) from source on ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) AMD64.
cmake and make both finished without errors, but I have a problem with the graphical interface: it shows up but seems not to work properly.

For example:

- when I click on the blue links which are supposed to provide help in the browser I get this message error in the terminal
'module' object has no attribute 'QWebView'

- when I try to save from the graphical interface, I get this message error in the terminal
output stream error

I went back to check the cmake output, and found these messages which may be linked to such malfunctioning:

-- Found unsuitable Qt version "5.5.1" from /usr/bin/qmake

-- The imported target "vtkRenderingPythonTkWidgets" references the file
   "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvtkRenderingPythonTkWidgets.so"
but this file does not exist. Possible reasons include:
* The file was deleted, renamed, or moved to another location.
* An install or uninstall procedure did not complete successfully.
* The installation package was faulty and contained
   "/usr/lib/cmake/vtk-6.2/VTKTargets.cmake"
but not all the files it references.

-- The imported target "vtk" references the file
   "/usr/bin/vtk"
but this file does not exist. Possible reasons include:
* The file was deleted, renamed, or moved to another location.
* An install or uninstall procedure did not complete successfully.
* The installation package was faulty and contained
   "/usr/lib/cmake/vtk-6.2/VTKTargets.cmake"
but not all the files it references.

The *.so file seems like no longer exixts in ubuntu 16.04

Have anyone experienced the same problem after the installation of yade on Xenial? do you think such malfunctioning will disappear if the system were to be -i386?

Any help you could provide for this request would be appreciated.

Hi Anton,

I just installed Yade from packages and had the same problems with the graphical interface I described earlier.

Hi,

I tried the latest git version (04/July/2006) and I got this error message when I launched yade:

Welcome to Yade 2016-07-04.git-3125bc6

Hi,

look as well at my question here [1]. You need to install python-pyqt5.qtwebkit and it should work. I guess you might get the same behaviour with yade doing strange things when launching scripts. Let us know.

Cheers
Klaus

Hi,

The installation of python-pyqt5.qtwebkit solved just one of the issues I reported: the GUI help is not showing.

I still cannot load/save from the GUI:

Load error message: Simulation file to load doesn't exist: (u'/home/aurora/Desktop/state_0.yade', u'Yade simulations (*.xml *.xml.bz2 *.xml.gz *.yade *.yade.gz *.yade.bz2)')

Save error message: output stream error

I can load/save from the terminal or using a *.py script.

Hi Anton,

Thank you, the issues I mentioned are fixed in the last commit.

However, just to let you know, the strange terminal behaviour described by Klaus when a script is launched persists (strange Ipython command line header, exit/crash on running simple command lines ... )

Nejib

Can you help with this problem?
