SALOME MECA fatal error in UBUNTU 20.04

Hi everyone.

I'm starting to use SALOME MECA 2019 version on UBUNTU 20.04, the installation goes normal, usual warning messages... but one I start with the geometry module a message of FATAL ERROR appears and stop me to work with it, I can not go back or select another option, just have to close the program and that action also is followed by  a FATAL ERROR message. 

The FATAL ERROR message is the following:

OpenGl_Window::CreateWindow: glXCreateContext failed.

Does anyone have a solution or know what is happening ?

Thanks!

Hi, Michael.

I had the same problem. I followed Jesusbill May 11 post in url=https://community.osarch.org/discussion/67/structural-modelling-of-tensegrity-structures and that apparently solved the issue:

cd ${HOME}/salome_meca/V2019.0.3_universal/prerequisites/debianForSalome/lib
rm libstdc++.so.6.0
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6

Cheers,
Cristiano

Re: SALOME MECA fatal error in UBUNTU 20.04

In my case it works but with a modification:

rm libstdc++.so.6

The complete code:

cd ${HOME}/salome_meca/V2019.0.3_universal/prerequisites/debianForSalome/lib
rm libstdc++.so.6
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6

In my case, the solution proposed by DomDunk works fine.

Hello,
Many thanks to all of you!!
Just to inform: this solution (removing libstdc++.so.6) for me worked fine also with Debian 11 and Salome-Meca 2020...

Just to say the same thing happens with V2020.0.1
The solution is the same but I recommend removing the symlinks with 'unlink' first to avoid issues with orphaned symlinks.
