I am trying to use the SAMCEF FE solver from SAMTECH with Ubuntu 14.04.
I successfully installed the software and added the path of the executable to the $PATH variable. Now when I want to test the system I should be able to enter, in the bash shell.
$samcef bacon test
What i get back is the following:
word too long
I had contact with the software installation experts and they told me that the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is probably too long.
So I tried to unset the variable:
$unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
and retried again
$samcef bacon test
and samcef successfully starts.
I already knew that $LD_LIBRARY_PATH is quite an extensive variable because I use it with other software to connect them to libraries like the intel compiler. I never heard of it being able to be too long with Ubuntu/linux. I also don't want to change the variable every time I want to run samcef because, well, it is used by other programs.
If someone would be able to shed some light in this matter (why I get these messages and a possible solution without tampering too much with current configuration), would be awesome.
