The Path workbench does not start

Post by _taras_ »

When starting Path, the inscription appears Import.so The shared object file cannot be opened. There is no such file or directory.
In the report window

Code: Select all

09:08:00  Import.so: it is impossible to open a shared object file: There is no such file or directory
09:08:00  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 62, in Initialize
  File "/usr/share/freecad-daily/Mod/Path/PathScripts/PathPreferencesPathJob.py", line 27, in <module>
    import PathGui as PGui  # ensure Path/Gui/Resources are loaded
I use

I also ran into this issue with FreeCAD 0.21 (command line only) on Ubuntu 20.04 in Docker. I tried building it with FreeCAD version 0.20 and the Path module imports no problem.

Thank you for your reply! What should I do to compile the back version? I use the tortoisegit to get the source code. Maybe I should choose 'v20' branch not the 'master' branch?

There are a few things about the output that raises questions, compare it to my a couple of days out of date:

  * Curves 0.5.6
  * Plot 2022.4.17
  * fasteners 0.4.2
  * sheetmetal 0.2.56
Your hash is 19 days old so when you run git pull in the source folder is it actually showing how many files have changed, along with insertions and deletions such as:

Code: Select all

477 files changed, 1241 insertions(+), 1564 deletions(-)
Also there's no proper git version in your output so I had to look up how old the build was using the hash.

Probably trying with an Appimage will be a good test.

I've noted some strange things, as OCCT and VTK version very old compared to a recent Appimage of 0.20.1:

Code: Select all
