Ubuntu install issues

[Jee-Bee]

I have now installed ubuntu on my mac (dual boot) and allmost everything is running. I think i have even the FEM working.
There are now two issues

1) most important when i go to the part workbench FreeCAD stops working. i wanna now why but i can't find the log file. Where is placed this??
2) i have tried installed area thing for path module but still freecad can't find him. so probably at the wrong place. what is the location where i have to install the area stuff?

thanks

How did you install FreeCAD and how did you install libarea.

How did you install FreeCAD and did you install libarea.

First of all if you ask for help at least provide feedback after for future reference. As for your questions in this thread.

1) most important when i go to the part workbench FreeCAD stops working. i wanna now why but i can't find the log file. Where is placed this??

That probably happened as you didn't follow all the needed steps on Wiki when manually compiling FreeCAD:

http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/?title=C ... and_Ubuntu

If you want to manually compile FreeCAD take your time and learn what you did wrong. Run manually compiled FreeCAD from the place you compiled it by running ./bin/FreeCAD after make has finished. As for system wide installation for now use daily PPA:

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freecad-maintainers/freecad-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install freecad

2) i have tried installed area thing for path module but still freecad can't find him. so probably at the wrong place. what is the location where i have to install the area stuff?

You can wait (probably a few days) and you won't have to do anything anymore manually as libarea will be installed as part of FreeCAD package update from daily PPA:

viewtopic.php?f=15&t=11811

But if you still want to do it now probably this makes the most sense. Install needed dependency first:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libboost-python-dev

After do:

Code: Select all

cd
git clone https://github.com/Heeks/libarea.git
cd libarea
cmake .
make
sudo make install

Start FreeCAD and try out the Path WB.

Additional info. As libarea doesn't have make uninstall target save the output of make install command as you might want to remove the installed files manually once libarea will be installed automatically when installing FreeCAD from daily PPA.

It's better to

Code: Select all

git clone https://github.com/danielfalck/libarea.git

and then as triplus posted
This is the modified version of the original that FreeCAD is actually using (modified to remove license issues)

Yes you are correct and that is the repository that should be used.

It crashes if you switch to Part WB? Or what exactly happens? You are talking about FreeCAD installed from daily PPA?

Code: Select all

freecad -l

And log file will be located here:
