Cant install 0.17 on Arch-Linux

[ingod]

Hi,

I tried to install on an Arch-Linux with

sudo pacman -S freecad

Error (in german):

Code: Select all

Warnung: Kann "boost-libs<1.66.0" nicht auflösen (eine Abhängigkeit von "freecad-oce")
:: Das folgende Paket kann aufgrund nicht auflösbarer Abhängigkeiten nicht aktualisiert werden:
      freecad-oce

Fehler: Konnte den Vorgang nicht vorbereiten (Kann Abhängigkeiten nicht erfüllen)
:: freecad-oce: benötigt boost-libs<1.66.0

so, freecad requires boost-libs<1.66.0

actual boost-libs is 1.66.0-2

Hi @ingod and welcome.

To be honest i don't know what is the current situation regarding FreeCAD on rolling releases such as Arch. Mainly due to Qt5 situation and availability of dependencies. Maybe another Arch user will have more insight on that.

What you can try out is the AppImage option and see how that goes:

Hi,

Code: Select all

Warning: Unable to resolve "boost-libs <1.66.0" (a dependency on "freecad-oce")
:: The following package can not be updated due to unresolvable dependencies:
       freecad-oce

Error: Could not prepare the operation (Can not fulfill dependencies)
:: freecad-oce: needs boost-libs <1.66.0

Odd, are you sure you got the right package? Apparently the 0.17-1 package should be built with opencascade-7.2 rather than oce.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/freecad/

OCE is extremely dated. It is still based on opencascade (OCCT) 6.9.1 from 2015. FC 0.17 runs best with OCCT 7.1.0 or 7.2.0.

First:

Run

Code: Select all

$ export LC_ALL="C"

and the then the command you wish to execute to get messages in english.

This will affect only the current terminal and will stop taking effect when the terminal is closed.

Eg:

Code: Select all

$ export LC_ALL="C"
$ sudo pacman -S freecad

Second:
Freecad isn't in the Arch linux (binary) repsoitorys in anymore. Dropped for for a week or two. Is your installation attempt older or do you not using Arch Linux but some derivate?

It is avalible in the AUR in some different flavours
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&K=freecad
or as Appimage as staded above.
