Unable to locate package libqglviewer-dev-qt5 when Install Yade from Source code

Asked by LiTingting

I'm new for Ubuntu and Yade. When I install Yade from source code based on https://yade-dem.org/doc/installation.html#source-code.

In that document, it says:"
For Ubuntu 20.04, 18.04, Debian 9, 10, 11 and their derivatives, just copy&paste to the terminal the following code block for installing all mandatory and optional dependencies (for Ubuntu 16.04 libqglviewer-dev-qt5 is to be replaced by libqglviewer-dev and python3-ipython by ipython3):

sudo apt install cmake git freeglut3-dev libloki-dev libboost-all-dev fakeroot \
dpkg-dev build-essential g++ python3-dev python3-ipython python3-matplotlib \
libsqlite3-dev python3-numpy python3-tk gnuplot libgts-dev python3-pygraphviz \
libvtk6-dev libeigen3-dev python3-xlib python3-pyqt5 pyqt5-dev-tools python3-mpi4py \
python3-pyqt5.qtwebkit gtk2-engines-pixbuf python3-pyqt5.qtsvg libqglviewer-dev-qt5 \
python3-pil libjs-jquery python3-sphinx python3-git libxmu-dev libxi-dev libcgal-dev \
help2man libbz2-dev zlib1g-dev libopenblas-dev libsuitesparse-dev \
libmetis-dev python3-bibtexparser python3-future coinor-clp coinor-libclp-dev \
python3-mpmath libmpfr-dev libmpfrc++-dev libmpc-dev texlive-xetex"

my Ubuntu version is 20.04. After typing the code above, my terminal shows as following:"
 Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libqglviewer-dev-qt5"

I have try to use "sudo apt-get update " to update, but is doesn't work. Could someone tell me how should I do ? Thank you very much!

Hello,

first of all, are you sure you need installation from source?
Do you need to modify the source code?
If not, I would really try the package versions first

> my Ubuntu version is 20.04

in [1], you write your Ubuntu is 21.10 and then you got recommendation to upgrade to 22.04.
Why do you use 20.04?

I have checked [2], there is libqglviewer-dev-qt5 for focal (20.04 Focal Fossa).. so I have no idea where the problem is..

Cheers
Jan

Again a remark from Ubuntu side (I cannot comment for Yade):

libqglviewer-dev-qt5 is in the "universe" category.
You have to enable that repository bucket in your package management settings (no matter which Ubuntu release you are running).

Hello Jan!
Thank you for your answer!

Right, I tried to update to 22.04, however, there is an error :"No package libvtk6-dev is available" when I download some software package according to [1], then I check [2], in which libvtk6-dev is not included. So I guess I should use Ubuntu 20.04 ,cause [1] have mentioned it. That is what I changed my ubuntu version.

Thank you for your [2], so I update my ubuntu to 20.04.1LTS, my question have been solved!!!

Another remark from Ubuntu perspective:

In Ubuntu 22.04 (jammy) the package libvtk6-dev is not available, but there are libvtk7-dev and libvtk9-dev.
Maybe one of them can serve as a replacement when installing yade from source code.

Okay, thank you. Since I don't know the differences between them, I didn't tried this. Thank you !
