Bug#1033129: netgen cannot be started

[Andrey Spitsyn]

Package: netgen
Version: 6.2.2006+really6.2.1905+dfsg-5.1+b1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: andrey.spitsyn at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

Execution of netgen leeds to following error:
$netgen
NETGEN-6.2-dev
Developed by Joachim Schoeberl at
2010-xxxx Vienna University of Technology
2006-2010 RWTH Aachen University
1996-2006 Johannes Kepler University Linz
Including OpenCascade geometry kernel
Including MPI version 3.1
Error in Tcl-Script:
result = couldn't load file "libgui.so": libgui.so: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directory
Make sure to set environment variable NETGENDIR to directory containing ng.tcl

libgui.so located in libnglib-dev package, but the error persists.
I've found that the solution from:
https://groups.google.com/g/linux.debian.user/c/X1rhnVB5OX8 works.
The following line starts netgen:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/netgen NETGENDIR=/usr/share/netgen
/usr/bin/netgen
But it's like a hack to me.


Best regards,
Andrey
