Hi,

I just installed the 32 bit Salome Meca package on 64 bit opensuse. Furthermore, I installed/compiled code aster and salome as 64 bit version (although the 64 bit Salome installation might be unnecessary). My intention is to use the Salome Meca package with the 64 bit CA.

My question regarding this is: if I change the path to ASTK under the default parameters to the 64 bit CA version, will I then be able to use 64 bit CA in Salome Meca?

My second question is more a linux question. From CAELinux I know that the /opt directory is accessible to everybody. To be able to install CA (and some other stuff) in the /opt directory, I had to do this as root. Now I always have to change to SU to be able to start Salome. Which command do I have to issue to always have read/write access as a "normal user" to /opt and all its subdirectories?

Many thanks in advance.

Arnold

For changing the ownership of the /opt folder you could issue 'sudo chown username:users /opt -R'

username obviously being your username and 'users' being the group 'users'

Hi,

yes, you can use the 32bit Salome-Meca GUI to run problems on your 64 bit Aster installation, just change the path to the ASTK server in the job properties of Salome-Meca, click refresh to update the configuration and submit your job.

Actually this is the solution that I have implemented for CAELinux 2009 (it is progressing by the way!!): I have installed the 32bit Salome-Meca package + compiled Aster 9.4 in 64 bit with Intel compilers for best performance. And it works really well !

And also:

you can keep your /opt with "root" write access only but allow execution to everyone:

"sudo chown -R root:root /opt"
"sudo chmod -R a+rX /opt"

!! Note the CAPITAL &quot;X&quot; in chmod to allow execution to everyone only if the file is already executable for the owner !!<br /><br />Post edited by: Administrator, at: 2009/05/17 00:03
