Question #252053 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/252053
Gary Pekmezi proposed the following answer: Please forgive me for resurrecting an old thread, but I would like to propose a solution for posterity. I managed to compile Yade (daily) on an SGI ICE X with RHEL 6. The test would work fine if I ran Yade from the login node. However, when logged in interactively to a compute node or if I submitted a PBS job (to the compute node) I received the exact same error, (missing Tkinter), and had the same problem where Yade would just seem to hang. 1) Eventually I tracked down the issue to a missing library, specifically libXss.so.1. This library exists at the login node, but not at the compute node. I don't believe any sysadmin ever imagined this lib would cause any issues as it is a screensaver extension library, but for some reason I have not the time to track down, it breaks Tkinter import. Once I copied the library to my yade directory and added it to my $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, everything seems to work fine. 2) The hanging/unresponsiveness seems to be a separate issue altogether. The solution to this is to add sys.stdout.flush() in the input file after every O.run(). Otherwise the sys.stdout gets lost in the aether. -- You received this question notification because your team yade-users is an answer contact for Yade. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-users Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
