.deb file for Ubuntu 18.04

Post by Clay Berkley » Thu Sep 20, 2018 12:05 pm

I am providing support for a research groups here. They have new computers on which Ubuntu 16 will not install and so we have gone with what works and put v 18.04 LTS on.

Are you currently working on a package for the newer version of Debian?

We have tried it as is, but it looks for very specific library versions that are not available on 18 and in fact, when we installed it on a 16.04 system that had been updated, it appeared to have the same problem.

Hi Clay,

Thank you for letting us know about your experience with SimVascular on Ubuntu 16 and 18.

An Ubuntu 18 release is on our agenda, but we do not have an exact release date yet. I will take your feedback into account let you know asap when we do.

When you tried SimVascular on Ubuntu 16, what were the errors you got?

Best,

Gabriel

Hi Clay,

If you had problem launching SV after you updated Ubuntu16.04, you can try the commands as below:
sudo apt-get install libgstreamer0.10-0
sudo apt-get install libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev

It may solve your problem.

For Ubuntu18.04, it might be caused by the same issue. Take a look at the error info in the terminal when launching SV, see if it fails in finding libgstreamer libs. If so, you can try those commands above. if Ubuntu 18.04 can't install them, you can download them at
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/amd6 ... 0/download
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/amd6 ... 0/download
run:
sudo dpkg -i xxxx.deb to install them.

Hope it helps!

Best,
Hongzhi

Both on 16.04.5 LTS and 18.041 LTS, we receive the following error when attempting to run simvascular:

esc@lilith:~$ simvascular
/usr/local/sv/simvascular/2018-07-05/bin/simvascular: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.52: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


This is a library mismatch expecting an older version of the library (it wants version 52 when 55 is what is installed).

~# dpkg -l | grep libicu55
ii libicu55:amd64 55.1-7ubuntu0.4 amd64 International Components for Unicode

We can create a symlink to the current version, but we'll end up creating many, many links and we don't know that it will work with the newer library versions it wants.

I have the same problem on Ubuntu 18.04. I did install the libgstreamer like Hongzhi suggested but it still doesn't work.
