One more problem....

[gadklein]

I had no problem running the installer for 3.0beta and the two directories were created in my usr/local folder. However, no command line prompts work to open BIS. While I can get the console open by clicking on the icon if I type bis.tcl I get the following error
"vtk: error while loading shared libraries: libhistory.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

I noticed that all the setpath files and console and menu files have the following BIS_VTK_DIR=/usr/local/bioimagesuite30/../bioimagesuite3_base/vtk52/lib/vtk-5.2

Is this what needs to be changed? is it looking for the libraries in the wrong place? Or is there another problem my limited Linux skills can't figure out? Let me know. Thanks.

Gad,

This is a linux issue. What type of linux or you running?  (libhistory is a standard file that should be in /usr/lib ... on RHEL or Centos it is part of the readline-5.1-1.1 package)

Xenios,

OpenSUSE 11.1
I can double check tomorrow to see why I don't have the file. Thanks.

It may be that OpenSuse 11 uses later version of these libraries (we are pretty conservative and build using older compilers etc) and does not have the compatibility (older versions installed)

A hack might involve something like (as root)

cd /usr/lib
ln -sf libhistory.so.6 libhistory.so.5

(assuming that libhistory.so.6 exists!)

Xenios,

   Will give it a shot after my clinical duties for today are over. Thanks.

Xenios,

  Downloaded the proper libhistory file and placed it where it needed to be. For some reason when I downloaded the proper library it installed in /lib rather than /usr/lib and BIS wasn't finding it. All solved now. Thanks for the help.
