hello,

Yesterday Freecad is avaible for Gentoo and can be found at science overlay.

FreeCAD is an OpenSource CAD/CAE, based on OpenCascade, QT and Python. It features some key concepts like macro recording, workbenches, ability to run as server and dynamically loadable application extensions and it's designed to be platform independent.

One of the depencies Pivy is not yet avaible but I hope in the next 2 weeks I can make the ebuild.

Has anybody had issues getting it to run? It built/installed fine but when I go to run it I get this:

Code: Select all

Could not open catalog:
 XercesMessages_en_US.cat
 or XercesMessages_en_US.cat
Cannot load message domain

Oh, and opencascade is a huge build.

I saw in another bug report that "env-update && source /etc/profile" was supposed to work. It didn't so I eventually rebooted. That seems to have solved it. I guess a logout & login may have worked too.

Oke,

Thank you for the tip.
