[Gmsh] export to step and brep fails - "No OpenCASCADE model found" - ubuntu 12.04

[Rasmus Lundsgaard]

Hi All.

I have the same issue (on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit). I have also tried with:

1. Linux binary from the homepage (together with opencascade-oce from 
ubuntu reporsitory)
2. Compiling latest gmsh against opencascade from ubuntu reporsitory
3. Compiling latest gmsh against compiled opencascade-oce

All giving the same result (when I managed to make cmake find all the 
needed libraries).

I have also tried to run gmsh with -v 99 (debug), but it gives no 
aditional information :(

Is there any other way of converting .geo to a .brep/.step file?

Regards
Rasmus

Hi all

I'm trying to export to step and brep file format, but it fails:

"No OpenCASCADE model found"

I'm on ubuntu 12.04 - I've installed quite some OpenCASCADE-packages 
(however, not developer packages, do I need that?). I usually install 
things with synaptic (ubuntu package handling system), can I fix this 
problem with synaptic?


There's something called opencascade-draw and then there's oce-draw - 
currently I have the former installed as trying to install the latter 
will remove the first package. Also, I don't have lib* (openCASCADE)-stuff.


I would really appreciate if anyone in here, running ubuntu 12.04 can 
tell me how to export in the easiest way...



Thanks!
