Tip: Free Medusa4 CAD software from CAD/Schroer

[Jaycoke]

I have successfully installed this in my home directory. It is free$, but not free (closed source).

Follow the steps on the site (above)



Here is what you need to do specific to PCLinuxOS.

1. you need to install the package tcsh from Synaptic

After doing this you will get this error when tcsh is run...
2.

Code: [Select]

[jaycoke@laptop Download]$ tcsh
META_CLASS: Undefined variable.

To solve this I commented out the variable $META_CLASS in both files named
/etc/profile.d/10mandriva-release.csh
and
/etc/profile.d/10pclinuxos-release.csh

 the line now reads

Code: [Select]

setenv META_CLASS

# $META_CLASS

Then enter (as root only if you want a system wide installation)

Code: [Select]

[jaycoke@laptop ~]$ tcsh
[jaycoke@laptop ~/Download]$ ./medusa4_v3_1_1_linux_personal.sh
Then follow the steps in the installer.

Enjoy!

Thanks CAD/Schroer for remembering your friends that use Linux!!
