OpenCascade on K/Ubuntu 710, Anyone? --Solved

[mhauber]

Greetings,

Has anyone been successful in installing/running OpenCascade on K/Ubuntu 7.10? I tried it a while back, was unsuccessful, and gave up after a couple of days. I'll give it another go again this coming week, but was wondering if anyone had figured it out yet.

Thanks

Less stress/more time makes all things easier. I figured it out and am posting how I did it seems how there is very little inform out there.

Assumptions made:

1. All dependencies as mentioned on opencascade.org are already installed
2. You have a version of Sun's JRE. The JRE installed by default for some reason wouldn't run the setup.
3. You wish to install it to /opt/OpenCascade (otherwise adjust accordingly)

Steps:
1. Download OpenCASCADE_Linux.tgz from opencascade.org.
2. Create/extract to target directory:
$ sudo mkdir /opt/OpenCascade
$ sudo tar xzvf OpenCASCADE_Linux.tgz -C /opt/OpenCascade
3. Go to target directory/Linux:
$ cd /opt/OpenCascade/Linux
4. At the prompt:
$ sudo /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.03/jre/bin/java -jar ./setup.jar
(adjust accordingly, your path will vary with the version you use)
Follow the directions through the setup process.
5. Add env.ksh to ~/.bashrc:
$ cat >> ~/.bashrc
source /opt/OpenCascade/Linux/ros/env.ksh
^D
6. rehash...
Weird! No rehash command!?!?
Close the xterminal and reopen, I guess.
7. Start'er up!
$ DRAWEXE


HTH,

Mike
