GridZilla OpenSuse 11.1

To get the GridZilla Binary downloaded from the gridzilla website to work you need to add the directory containing the installtion to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH

 When you try to run gridzilla you might get an error

  File "ExtensionLoader_wx__core_.py", line 12, in <module>
ImportError: libwx_gtk2ud-2.8.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

TO get around that add the directory where the GridZilla executable is located  to your library load path environment variable, LD_LIBRARY_PATH as indicated below. The directory with the binary program should have the  libwx_gtk2ud-2.8.so.0 file.

Installation instructions:

1) Download the binary from http://code-itch.com/gridzilla/Gridzilla.html

2) Untar the file to wherever you want to install it to:

For eg

cd $HOME

tar -zxvf  GridZilla_0.2Beta_opensuse_11.1_64bit.tar.gz

3) That will create the Directory GridZilla_0.2Beta_opensuse_11.1_64bit in your home directory ($HOME)

4) The gridzilla binary will be in

$HOME/GridZilla_0.2Beta_opensuse_11.1_64bit

5) Add that directory to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.cshrc

for bash:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$HOME/GridZilla_0.2Beta_opensuse_11.1_64bit"

for cshrc or tchsrc

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH="{$LD_LIBRARY_PATH }:{$HOME}/GridZilla_0.2Beta_opensuse_11.1_64bit"
