Category: Modeling Group: release 7.12 >Status: Pending >Resolution: None >Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Patrick Green (pggreeney) Assigned to: Sean Morrison (brlcad) Summary: Can't launch BRL-CAD Initial Comment: Okay so I downloaded the latest version of BRL-CAD for Mac 7.12.2 followed the directions to launch it in XTerm (their are two ways; bourne-shell based shells and C-shell based shells) which you already know... I tried both ways with no success.... always "no such directory" or " command not found " I also tried "usr/brlcad/rel-7.12.2/mged bash; sentenv:" and got "command not found" again. I copied and pasted from the tutorial as well to insure there wouldn't be a syntex error.... I see that other are using this same program on their Macs with no problem... I run GIMP and Inkscape just fine on this Mac so I don't understand what is the problem here....I suspect it is in the path. I'm still a newbie to X11 and the use of Terminal commands/XTerm etc. can anyone help with this problem?? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Sean Morrison (brlcad) Date: 2010-01-23 23:39 Message: Ack! After all that trouble to get it started, it turns out that the binary is not compatible with your system. Those binaries are apparently for an earlier version of Mac OS X (I don't recall which exactly, possibly 10.3 or 10.4). So now your options are basically either a) wait for new binaries to be posted or b) compile BRL-CAD from source code. It's uncertainly exactly how long you'd have to wait for "a" to occur, but the current plan is to push out new binaries next month (February). To do "b" now, if you're careful with your typing, the following set of commands "should" work to give you a functioning install: cd svn checkout https://brlcad.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/brlcad/brlcad/tags/rel-7-16-4 brlcad cd brlcad sh autogen.sh ./configure --enable-all --prefix=/usr/brlcad/rel-7.16.4 make sudo make install If any step fails, post the output here before proceeding to the next step. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Patrick Green (pggreeney) Date: 2010-01-23 01:48 Message: Sean, Okay I realize that I forgot the "rel" sorry for the trouble, I have typed it so many times I'm getting sloppy..with that said here is the new error message; Last login: Fri Jan 22 12:54:00 on console Welcome to Darwin! user-accounts-power-mac-g4:~ User$ /usr/brlcad/rel-7.12.2/bin/mged -bash: /usr/brlcad/rel-7.12.2/bin/mged: cannot execute binary file user-accounts-power-mac-g4:~ User$ So what do I do now? Is there a tutorial on the command lines for this program? I really want to learn this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Sean Morrison (brlcad) Date: 2010-01-22 22:03 Message: You still failed to enter the command name exactly correct. Read what I wrote, read what you wrote. You left out "rel". If you're having that much trouble just running the command that starts up MGED, you're probably going to also have trouble using MGED itself as it's rather heavily command-centric for the more powerful editing operations. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Patrick Green (pggreeney) Date: 2010-01-22 21:53 Message: >Comment By: Sean Morrison (brlcad) Date: 2010-01-21 19:30 Message: It sounds like you didn't copy and paste the commands correctly. You are missing the preceding slash and left out the bin directory. The command line is very unforgiving, you have to enter the command name exactly correct. /usr/brlcad/rel-7.12.2/bin/mged See if that works for you. Same thing happened: user-accounts-power-mac-g4:~ User$ /usr/brlcad/-7.12.2/bin/mged bash: /usr/brlcad/-7.12.2/bin/mged: No such file or directory user-accounts-power-mac-g4:~ User$ I'm using X11 starter Version 0.99u, The X Window System X11 1.1.3 - XFree86 4.4.0 Machine Power Mac G4 Machine Model:PowerMac3,4 CPU Type:PowerPC G4 (2.0) Number Of CPUs: 1 CPU Speed:733 MHz L2 Cache (per CPU):256 KB L3 Cache (per CPU):1 MB Memory:1 GB Bus Speed:133 MHz Boot ROM Version: 4.2.8f1 Serial Number: XB1103A2KZ4 Sales Order Number:M8451LL/A Any other ideas as to why this will not boot up?
