Funny.. I *JUST* found this issue.. sudo apt install netgen sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/netgen/* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
Should get it to work.. however, I've had FreeCAD crash 3 times in the past 15 minutes trying to use the Path workbench. I'm going to try the appimage to see if it's any more stable. Thanks, Billy On 6/27/20 1:39 PM, Martin Dobbins wrote:
I thought I would post this for anyone that might step this way in future 🙂 Following discussions on freecad producing g-code, I've been experimenting. The <path> workbench is where this all happens, but going to that location produced "libnglib.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" A little research revealed that I had made some errors. This is a dual boot machine and I had to reinstall Ubuntu following a Microsoft update that managed to hose its own MBR, go figure (!). The only install I had on USB was 18.04 which I then upgraded to 20.04 , I then reinstalled freecad. This was somehow the wrong path to take, producing missing dependencies etc. and (maybe) causing the error with freecad. I found that freecad also has an app image, so I downloaded that and gave it permission to run as a program. This produces a freecad that <just works>. Great, so now I can proceed, let's uninstall freecad and just run it from the app image. "apt-get remove --auto-remove freecad" produces "Package 'freecad' is not installed, so not removed". Yet I still have a freecad install that I can get to by typing freecad in a terminal or selecting it from the "applications" gui, this is the package that has unmet dependencies. I can work around this by using the app image, but I would like to hose all previous traces of the existing install to prevent (human) errors in the future.
