Problem with Geoviewer

Flair
1

I have Ubuntu version 18.04. I installed Flair using beta version of .deb files.
When I run flair, I get this error

w> Warning: Geometry Viewer not found
e> ERROR: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29’ not found (required by /usr/local/flair/geoviewer.so)
Flair window opens, however, Geometry is not displayed in the geometry tab. What should I do to correct this issue?

Hi vaxion,

you need to compile and install geoviewer from the source (flair-geoviewer-3.0-0.tgz). You can find the instructions here.

Indeed @horvathd is right, the deb package was compiled with ubuntu 19.10 I am setting a virtual machine with ubuntu 18.04lts to provide also for this version

Now I am getting the following error as given below:

Hi!

you will need to install the following packages as well: tk-dev python3-dev

Thank you David. I have now installed python-dev and tk-dev. While compile I get the following error now towards the end:
mkdir -p /usr/local/flair
mkdir -p /usr/local/flair/fonts
install -m 644 geoviewer.so /usr/local/flair
install -m 755 usrbin2dvh /usr/local/flair
install: cannot stat ‘usrbin2dvh’: No such file or directory
makefile:333: recipe for target ‘install’ failed
make: *** [install] Error 1

But now geoviewer is running and I can see the geometry of the input file. Do I need to worry about the errors mentioned above.

Hi Sujoy,

Did you run a “make” command before the “make install”?

@sujoy I had the same problem. Running make again fixed the problem.

Thank you all. This solved the problem.
