ERROR: Can't get 'CalculiX GraphiX' window. #20

Hi,

I have launch cae.sh on RedHat 8.3 and I have this error message

ERROR: Can't get 'CalculiX GraphiX' window.

Can you help me to solve it.

Hi,

Look here, line 157: https://github.com/calculix/cae/blob/master/src/gui/window.py if time.perf_counter() - start > 5:

Keyword editor waits for CGX for 5 seconds, then emit error message. Try to increase wait time to 10 seconds (edit source file on your computer) and run application again. So line 157 in window.py file should be: if time.perf_counter() - start > 10:

Thank for you answer, but I already tried to change the value of this line but I have the same error message.

At the end of the log file I have this error about a libraries :

/home/nekcorp/Downloads/cae-0.8.0/bin/cgx: error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Looks like CGX simply can not start on RedHat. Try to install Mesa libGLU. If so, this problem is not relevant to my CAE package.

But thanks for the issue! Now I know that CGX may fail on some OS. I'll implement some tests to inform users about missed libraries.

I tried to install mesa-libGlu on RedHat 8.3 and all it is right.
