#53 Installer does not start

[CGizdoff]

Hello,

I am running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. The latest installer for v2.10 does not seem to start at all. I cannot get it to work even with --mode option. Please advise.

Regards

Could you please provide more information? I have just tried myself on Ubuntu 14.04 (64bit). And the installer worked just fine using the following steps:

• downloading the installer from http://sourceforge.net/projects/sbw/files/sbw/2.10.0/rc1/sbw-2.10.0-linux-x64-installer.run/download

• making the installer executable with:

  chmod +x sbw-2.10.0-linux-x64-installer.run

• executing the installer with:

  ./sbw-2.10.0-linux-x64-installer.run

• next I've opened a new terminal, and ran sbw_networkviewer and opened one of the SBML files distributed in ~/SBML Models. All that worked fine for me.

If you have any more information, please let me know.

All the best
Frank

Hi,

Thank you for the fast response. This installer worked. The problem was that in folder "final" there was no linux installer and so went for the big green button.

But now I have a different problem.

I tried to use the sbw_networkviewer as you suggested and I only got the following:

"The assembly mscorlib.dll was not found or could not be loaded.
It should have been installed in the `/usr/lib/mono/2.0/mscorlib.dll' directory."

I am using mono 3.2.8 as this is the version that comes from apt-get. So there is no such file/folder. In fact ls /usr/lib/mono -> 4.0 4.5 gac. I am guessing these are the versions of .NET mono 3.2.8 supports. I have no idea how to add .NET 2.0 safely.

Also, I am trying to use CellDesigner with SBW, but when I go to "Register with SBW", nothing happens, and for everything else in the SBW menu I get a java exception. I have Oracle Java 8 installed. I don't know if that makes any difference.

I hope this helps.

Regards

Konstantin

When I look into /usr/lib/mono I find .net target profiles for 2.0, 3.5, 4.0 and 4.5. I'll attach the list of mono packages installed in my ubuntu (not all of them will be necessary i'm sure).

As to CellDesigner, i will try that tomorrow and let you know what i find.

Cheers

Hello again,

I play with it a bit and made it work most of the time. I manually installed mono-complete and now most of the components work.

So here's the situation in CellDesigner:

• "Register with SBW" still does nothing
• "General Network Viewer", "Translate SBML --> Any" and "Layout A Network
• "General Simulation Tool" return an error detailed in the file debug
• The other options in the menu return just general "failed" errors

Thank you.

Regards

Konstantin

sorry for the delay ... I could reproduce the issue you described:

• on ubuntu 14.04 the splashscreen in the Simulation Tool does not work, I'm working on a new version
• as for the registration for CellDesigner, they invoke a method that won't work, but I'm working on a workaround.

Cheers
Frank

Hello Konstantin,

I've uploaded a new version of the SBW X64 Linux installer here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/sbw/files/sbw/2.11.0/

this time the simulation tool works just fine on the latest Ubuntu. The new version also includes a workaround for CellDesigner, so it will start once registered.

Please let me know what you find,
sorry for the delay,

All the best
Frank
