More on solving the libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 issue for Opencascade for Gutsy Gibbon

Ok… I was reflecting on last nights failure of installing the OCC documentation files.

• I’m pretty sure, I have java setup correctly but am not positive.

• The documentation should have have dumped into /opt/OCCTDocumentation6.2.0 directory. This didn’t happen.
  I wonder if I needed to put a sudo before entering the command line.. (worth a try)

jonas@jonas-desktop:~$ cd Opencascade_documentation
jonas@jonas-desktop:~/Opencascade_documentation$ csh
% ls
Autorun.inf install.bat OpenCASCADE_doc.tgz readme.htm
images install.csh package
% sudo csh -x install.csh
[sudo] password for jonas:
setenv JAVAHOME .
set OS_NAME=uname
uname
if ( Linux == SunOS ) then
if ( Linux == Linux ) then
./package/setupLinux.bin

Ok then… sudo didn’t have an effect but it still isn’t a bad thing to try.
Test #2, Did I screwed something configuring java.. On 30 Mar 08 I found some instructions on configuring Java that I deviated from in place of others that I liked better… Might as give them a try and see what happens:
Here’s the link:http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-556314.html
which got the info the french ubuntu site:http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/opencascade
(1) Install c shell
sudo apt-get install csh
(2) Install Sun Java 6
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
(3) Make sure, Sun Java 6 is used:
sudo update-alternatives –config java
Set as default the one entry that contains this string:
java-6-sun
Results:
jonas@jonas-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

Need to think about this one a bit. I think I may have screwed up Java….
