[Solved] AppImage after 0.19_pre 16291 - - No longer run in Fedora 29

Hi, trying to see if patch was applied and bug fixed in latest 0.19_pre and find the captioned

Code: Select all

[paullee@localhost Temp_Download]$ ./FreeCAD_0.19

It would be nice if anyone fedora-user seeing this problem can test if the same is happening with freecad installed via conda. Else we can't do much about it.

[paullee]

Hmmm, anything I can do to help debugging?

The 'native' 0.18 Fedora package has oce which I found problematic and I had turned to AppImage for quite sometime (despite some other fallback I had not had time to overcome) to run FC. Would have no alternative if AppImage no longer run.

Thanks.

This seems to be a new system dependency (py37 / new-toolchain) (although it is also shipped within the bundle.)

Maybe you can try to install the corresponding library. For ubuntu it's included in the package libc.

Hi @paullee

Fedora 28 and up decided to not provide libnsl by default anymore. You should be able to resolve your problem by installing:

Code: Select all

sudo dnf install libnsl

P.S. We could add a note for Fedora users or try bundling libnsl in the AppImage in the future.

Oh Thanks @Triplus

Very basic problem and solution indeed!

Not thought of it is an 'external library' missing - Long time not trying to maintain a linux system (still running a Scientific Linux 6.x for no use) that lost the sense of searching external library dependency

And FC runs!

... though the interface becomes slightly uglier ?

Actually it's bundled in the 0.19 appimages, but not used...

Seems more problems though it runs.... it can't find the IfcOpenShell previous AppImage can

And dialog boxes do look old-fashioned.

FreeCAD 0.18.1 is provided as a flatpak. It runs well on Ubuntu, as I assume it would on fedora. I don't use IfcOpenShell though.

There are also other interested in an compatible ifc library for conda-forge. Maybe you can try to create a staged-recipe for this library:
https://conda-forge.org/docs/maintainer ... or-recipes
https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpen ... .6.0/conda

If more people would work on conda-packages for freecad this would be a nice cross platform solution...
