Hello,
I installed Syrthes, and source it without errors. When I launch the GUI though I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/cx_Freeze/initscripts/Console.py", line 27, in <module>
File "SyrthesMain.py", line 16, in <module>

File "ExtensionLoader_numpy_linalg_lapack_lite.py", line 11, in <module>
ImportError: liblapack.so.3gf: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The problem is I am using RedHat 7 and there is no officially 'liblapack.3gf' available, and I am not allowed to install it from third party.
So is there a way to go around this?

Thanks,

Andrea

Hello,

I think you can also rebuild the GUI somewhere in the installation directory: check syrthes4.3/src/syrthes-gui/src/Install.sh in the Syrthes source tree. I have managed to use it once or twice, but don't remember it well, and every time, it is a pain... The SYRTHES team has made different installation choices than we did, and we haven't been able to convince tham that our system has less problems (it's not infallible either, but portability is better), so I can't say much more.

Version 5.0 of Code_Saturne should have a solid thermal module, so Syrthes will be required less often (though it will remain the best tool for some specific applications for which it has specific features, such as thermal simulation in buildings, or when transparent radiation is needed). In the meantime, installation remains a pain...

Regards,

Yvan
