I found a little more information about this. I checkinstalled a more recent version of netgen (properly sed'ing tcl8.6 and tk8.6 to tcl8.5 and tk8.5 in all the Makefiles to prevent stumbling into another bug related to wrong symbols in linkedition) and found the same problem. Alas, it is reported in debian, which even suggest a fix in Ubuntu 15.10 (didn't work for me tough):
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=782361 It is also reported in netgen itself (sourceforge but tracker): ttps://sourceforge.net/p/netgen-mesher/bugs/21/ but with no updates. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #782361 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=782361 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1556445 Title: netgen does not start anymore, X error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netgen/+bug/1556445/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
