[Sasview-users] how to run sasview on Ubuntu 14.04 or 16.04 LTS 64 bit

[Martin Schmiele]

Dear Users,

has anybody succeeded to run sasview 4.1.0 on Ubuntu/Debian?

I downloaded, built and installed the current source code versions for
sasview + sasmodels from github.

I can start the program, load data and specify fitting models (e.g.
sphere model and using a polysphere example data set coming with the
installation), but as soon as I start the fitting the window freezes and
the whole application quickly terminates with a segmentation fault.
I have the same problem on Ubuntu 14.04 (wx 2.8) and 16.04 (generally
higher version numbers for the dependencies, wx 3.0).

Thank you in advance,

Martin


p.s. I installed the dependencies listed on

http://trac.sasview.org/wiki/LinuxBuildDependencies

via Ubuntus package manager and pip.

In case of the Ubuntu 16.04 installation, using "python
check_packages.py" the following installed dependencies are listed:
