Linux version crashes, freshly installed

Post by xaviergm »

Good morning!
I installed Protocase Designer yesterday on Debian 10 (buster) with all packages up to date. It was working fine last night.
Today, after starting up my laptop again, it stopped working.
The only difference is that I installed FreeCAD as well. However, uninstalling FreeCAD and/or reinstalling Designer does not change the error message at all.

The error message says to contact www.azulsystems.com for support (?).
The error message I am getting is as follows:

Code: Select all

Any hints as to how to solve it?

I uninstalled all the FreeCAD dependencies at once and Designer works again.
Would be interesting to know which one causes the issue. I'll do further testing on this.

Hello xaviergm,

I think I know the issue. FreeCad uses the same CAD kernal as Protocase Designer and there is most likely conflicting versions that are trying to be loaded in to program memory. The JVM loads system files(.so) first. Than Protocase Designer loads its own dependencies. I believe FreeCad installs on the machine in such a way that CAD kernal files are in a default location on the system. Than when Protocase Designer is booted the JVM tries to load it's system files from that place than load Protocase Designer files. This results in conflicting versions of the same files.

I guess we could do a similar thing as FreeCad. But than we would be over writing FreeCad files and FreeCad probably wouldn't function anymore. I feel there must be a way to install FreeCad so it's isolated but am not sure.

Linux isn't that popular of a OS for Protocase Designer so any help from the community on how fix this is appreciated. :)

This doesn't seem to be an issue on Windows so there most be a way.

Matt
