[SOLVED] Installing medusa4 cad

Hey everyone,
I am trying to install medusa4 on my pc. It is free to use if you are a student and i thought i will give it a shoot because the other CAD programs i tried under linux are no what i am looking so fare.
So i downloaded the script from the website, made it executable and started it.  This is what i got:

 [amish@arch Scripts]$ ./medusa4_v5_1_2_linux_personal.sh 

There is no csh or tcsh shell available ...

It's required to install and run MEDUSA4 Personal V5.1.2, Copyright (c) 2002-2012 CAD Schroer GmbH 
 

Oky I thought no problem, i downloaded the tcsh from the repository " tcsh 6.18.01-2".

But I still get the same Message. Do i miss something here? Did anybody try to install this program on Archlinux before?

Micah

Re: [SOLVED] Installing medusa4 cad

Did you try running the script from within an actual tcsh shell, as that's what I assume it means, rather than just having it installed.

Re: [SOLVED] Installing medusa4 cad

I did try it with using tcsh and then started the script but i got the same result.

 
[amish@arch Scripts]$ tcsh 
> ./medusa4_v5_1_2_linux_personal.sh 

There is no csh or tcsh shell available ...

Re: [SOLVED] Installing medusa4 cad

Oky i got it to started now. I checked the intall script and found out that it only checks if there is  csh installed but i have tcsh installed so i created a symlink form /bin/csh to /usr/bin/tcsh.

 [amish@arch bin]$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/tcsh /bin/csh
[amish@arch bin]$ cd
[amish@arch ~]$ cd Scripts/
[amish@arch Scripts]$ ./medusa4_v5_1_2_linux_personal.sh 

So now it started the installation process.
But it  get anther error.

./medusa4_v5_1_2_linux_personal.sh 

Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Re: [SOLVED] Installing medusa4 cad

Is medusa 32bit and your system 64bit, or vice versa?

Re: [SOLVED] Installing medusa4 cad

So then I assume your Arch install is 64bit - there are two packages under each, libxt and libxtst, what's shown with pacman -Qs libxt ? To make sure you've both.

-- edit below --

It's lib32-libxt that will provide you with libXt.so.6

This is the error I am getting when trying to install Medusa.  I believe the previous posters have solved it, but the instructions werent clear.  I am new to Ubuntu.

I am running 64bit, trying to install Medusa4_v5_2_1_personal.sh
