No 3D model on Debian 7 #35

Closed Catscratch closed 9 years ago

Catscratch commented 9 years ago

Hi,

only an information. I run into the problem, that I can't see any 3D (canvas) model on Debian 7.7. On Windows or Ubuntu everything was running fine.

The solution cost me several hours to find. Finally I found out, that Debian 7.7 got an old version of GLibC which is used by the IfcGeoServer binary to calculate the geometry.

At least you need GLibC >= 2.14 which means you have to install it on your own on Debian or switch to unstable. Ubuntu for example uses 2.19.

After upgrading the lib, you have to re-upload an IFC model, because the geometry calculation is done during the upload process.

Maybe it helps other people who ran into the same problem.

Hi,

Thank you for your message. When we do a new binary distribution of the IfcOpenShell plugin, which provides the IfcGeomServer I'll see if I can link to an older glibc version.

Kind regards, Thomas IfcOpenShell
