Hi,
I am trying to install NGSolve on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). I have strictly followed the guide to build from the source onto Debian/Ubuntu on WSL with using a Debian/Ubuntu terminal on Windows 10. However, I am not able to run any python script in the python_tutorial file after the NGSolve is successfully installed. The message always shows up “Segmentation fault”. For a detailed example, it shows:

Segmentation faultI have checked that my python version is 3.7.3 in the Debian/Ubuntu on WSL terminal environment. On the other hand, everything works well with the Windows installer on my Windows 10 laptop. So I am wondering if NGSolve does not support to be built from the source on WSL environment yet. Does anyone have experience in working with WSL and how to solve the problem?
