Since you didn't install into /usr/brlcad but instead into ~/download/usr/brlcad, the initialization scripts couldn't be found. That then causes the 'gui' invalid command name error. If you put BRL-CAD into /usr/brlcad, it should presumably work as expected. Otherwise, there are a variety of environment variables that would need to be set to "relocate" and run BRL-CAD from a location different than what it was compiled for. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Chris Cooper (coopstah13) Date: 2009-02-14 20:27 Message: Ran the commands you suggested, see brlcad.txt. I just extracted it under my home folder pretty much, then I added the bin directory to my path. I extracted the file to ~/download, it created the folder ~/download/usr/brlcad, I added ~/download/usr/brlcad/bin to my path.

So let's see, it's not finding the tclscripts for some reason. I see that your PATH is apparently set up. How did you install BRL-CAD? Did you unpack in usr or unpack elsewhere and cp to usr? Or something else? Where did you install BRL-CAD to? Is it installed into /usr/brlcad or some other location? If you will, start up mged (pick any attach option) and run these commands: puts "AP: $auto_path" puts "TL: $tcl_library" puts "E: $env(TCL_LIBRARY)" bu_brlcad_root . bu_brlcad_data . bu_brlcad_root tclscripts/mged/tclIndex puts "ROOT:" exec ls -la /usr/brlcad puts "DATA:" exec ls -la /usr/brlcad/share/brlcad/7.12.2/tclscripts exec ls -la /usr/brlcad/share/brlcad/7.12.2/tclscripts/mged That won't fix or change anything but if you provide the output of those commands, hopefully it will provide more insight in diagnosing the problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Chris Cooper (coopstah13) Date: 2009-02-14 17:31 Message: ccooper@jobox:~$ mged -c BRL-CAD Release 7.12.2 Geometry Editor (MGED) Wed Apr 23 04:46:24 EDT 2008, Compilation 2 mor...@u1...:/usr/brlcad/rel-7.12.2 attach (nu|X|ogl)[nu]? nu mged> set mged_default(dm_type) X X mged> gui invalid command name "gui" mged> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Sean Morrison (brlcad) Date: 2009-02-14 16:12 Message: Hm, then the problem is very likely due to the face that OpenGL is the default. Try this instead: mged -c [attach nu] set mged_default(dm_type) X gui See if the gui springs to life that way. Let me know if it does. If not, you can either 1) utilize classic mode (attach X should work), 2) compile an installation of BRL-CAD yourself (so you can turn off the ogl interface), or 3) wait for our next binary release (where we usually turn off ogl). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Chris Cooper (coopstah13) Date: 2009-02-14 13:19 Message: This was the latest binary distribution 7.12.2. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Sean Morrison (brlcad) Date: 2009-02-14 05:56 Message: Was this a binary distribution or an install that you compiled yourself? Receiving a "gui" error usually implies that there is something wrong with Tcl/Tk. If you compiled, try compiling again but run "sh autogen.sh" first and then run configure with --enable-all and see if that helps. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Chris Cooper (coopstah13) Date: 2009-02-12 00:18 Message: Sorry for the spam, I suppose it would be helpful to add which version I am using. ccooper@jobox:~$ mged -c BRL-CAD Release 7.12.2 Geometry Editor (MGED) Wed Apr 23 04:46:24 EDT 2008, Compilation 2 mor...@u1...:/usr/brlcad/rel-7.12.2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=640802&aid=2590997&group_id=105292 |
