Visit question

[Ethan Brown]

I installed visit without problem, and I believe I have added it to my
local search path. However, when I try to open visit with the command
"visit", I get the following:

Version 2.0.1 of 'gui' does not exist for
the architecture 'linux-intel'.

I'm using ubuntu linux 10.04 with nVidia graphics (driver installed
correctly).

Please help.

Ethan,

I need some help for choosing the system configuration file during installation
I'm getting the following 9 options:

1) No system configuration
2) Configuration for ANAG/APDEC collaborators.
3) ANL network
4) LLNL open network
5) LLNL closed network
6) NERSC network
7) ORNL network
8) Princeton network
9) TACC network

which one should be set ?

I just chose "NO". I figured it could be changed later.

Still getting the same error. Found this:

But it's suggestions didn't work...

There was an answer to my similar question last night.  Answer was, it doesn't matter what we choose. Hope that is still true. :-)

I have visit on ubuntu 10.04 as well (without any fancy hardware...4 year old laptop).

I installed in /opt/visit.  Where ever you installed, you should see at least two directories: 2.0.1 and bin.  In 2.0.1, you should see another two directories: bin and linux-intel.  In that linux-intel directory is the gui executable.  I mv'd linux-intel to linux-intel2 and tried loading visit and got your error.  Hence, you might want to make sure that directory exists.  Perhaps it was named something else in your install for some reason.

Hope that helps,
Jeremy

I installed visit by saying "no" to everything...
and I'm able to run visit,

for installation i used:
$ sudo ./visit-install2_0_1 2.0.1 linux-x86_64-ubuntu8 /usr/local/visit
("no" to all)

to run:
$ cd /usr/local/visit/bin
$ ./visit

Even I'm using NVIDIA proprietary drivers on Ubuntu 10.04.

Strange, yeah that linux-intel directory is missing. I did exactly what Pratik Desal did. I'll keep trying.

Ethan and Jeremy,

Are you using a 32-bit system ?
Because I am not ale to see linux-intel in 2.0.1, I have linux-x86_64 directory.

Yeah, I should have mentioned I am on 32-bit, and hence my linux-intel directory.
