Hi,

I upgraded ubuntu today and now NgSolve is not working any more. I get the following error message

netgen: error while loading shared libraries: libTKBRep.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This lib is installed, so I checked my PATH and PYTHON_PATH variables, but they do not include the respective folder. Also the NETGENDIR variable is not set. I installed ngsolve as stated on your webpage. Should I reinstall it from scratch ?

Thanks a lot

Hi,

It sounds to me like maybe a problem with Open Cascade support. Before reinstalling Ngsolve, it might be worth a try to do these steps:

sudo apt-add-repository universe
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install liboce-ocaf-dev

for more info, see here: CMake options for building Netgen/NGSolve — NGS-Py 6.2.2302 documentation

Hope that helps!

Best,
Dow
