The installation guide doesn't work as-is #11

I wanted to try voxelization_toolkit, but after installing. The steps I tried:

  1. conda create --name voxelization
  2. conda activate voxelization
  3. conda install -c ifcopenshell voxelization_toolkit
  4. ~/Software/mambaforge/envs/voxelization/bin/voxec

Result: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_regex.so.1.74.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I figured out I could try installing ifcopenshell (should probably be documented).

  1. conda install -c ifcopenshell ifcopenshell
  2. ~/Software/mambaforge/envs/voxelization/bin/voxec

Result voxec: symbol lookup error: /home/william/Software/mambaforge/envs/voxelization/bin/voxec: undefined symbol: _ZNK16Standard_Failure14GetStackStringEv

Do I need to install something else? Or is this a wrong way to run it?

I'm on Pop!_OS 22.04 (similar to Ubuntu 22.04) , conda 22.9.0, Python 3.10.

Ok, I guess some of the dependencies are not correctly articulated, I had a hard time getting something to work without a ton of conflicts.

Installing IfcOpenShell was a good move, but the code here is compiled against the conda-forge version. Could you try

conda install -c conda-forge ifcopenshell

instead?

I ran

  1. conda uninstall -c ifcopenshell ifcopenshell
  2. conda install -c conda-forge ifcopenshell
  3. ~/Software/mambaforge/envs/voxelization/bin/voxec --help

And it works. Thanks for the quick response!
