Hello everyone,
I tried to find a solution to this problem online, and although I found lots of threads with similar issues, I can't solve it. I have downloaded and compiled/installed Netgen (a scientific free library for 3d mesh generation), which required, among others, to work some magic with the Togl package.
Anyways, when I run 'netgen' I get the following error:
bartgol@HAL:[~]$ netgen
NETGEN-5.3.1

Some info that may or may not be useful.

Is there a config file for this software? I've got similar errors when I switched from 1280x1024 monitor to a 1440x900 one, I had to set the correct resolution up.

Yes, there is a file called ng.tcl. Looking inside I found this snippet
if { $batchmode != "defined" } {
catch {
wm withdraw .
wm title . $progname
wm geometry . =800x600
wm minsize . 400 300
}
}
I tried to change the values for wm geometry. No luck.

When posting configs, code or command output, please use [ code ] tags https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode
like thisIt makes the code more readable and - in case of longer listings - more convenient to scroll through.
How did you compile it? Using http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/tree/netgen ?

Wow! Where did that come from? I looked for a pkg build of netgen, but could not find one (all the links pointed to nowhere). I built the library with a normal configure + make + make install. I will try to use the pkg build you pointed me to. I will get also the missing dependencies from there, I guess.

You should have read that thread.
Edit: And the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … repository

I did read the thread without finding a solution (missed the hint to git), but I totally missed the wiki (where the info about the the git repo was). My bad.
Edit: I used the link you gave from the git repo. I had to copy and paste the text from the webpage (I have to learn ho to download the files, or just clone the repo (it's big!)), which is probably why the md5sum of the patches did not match. So I edited the files to make them match, but the package does not build. I get a compilation error. The interesting thing is that when I compile the library by hand (configure+make) it compiles fine (except it does not work later).
Edit2: Ok, I managed to clone the git repo, so now the md5sum is ok. However I still have a compilation error. In particular, in some cpp source file we try to access a non-existing member of a particular class from opencascade. I wonder if the version of opencascade is relevant. I tried to upgrade it, but it doesn't solve the problem...

Ok, I used the aur-mirror.git repo to install all the pre-requisites (I had to downgrade a package). But I still get the same graphic error that I got when manually building the library adn all the prerequisites. If anyone has any tip, it would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I was having the same error thrown after installing NETGEN-4.9.13 from the repositories (admittedly Xubuntu 14.04). I have an Nvidia graphics card which I operate through bumblebee.
Running NETGEN through the Nvidia card with:
optirun netgenlaunches the program without issue. Not sure if this will help you sniff out the problem at all, but figured I would drop a line and share my workaround.
Cheers
