Hi, thanks for the packaging, it will be amazing that after installing gmsh, and the optional dependency python, the python module gmsh keep active in PYTHONPATH. If we run

$ python -c "import gmsh"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gmsh'

but with

$ PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/gmsh/api/python python -c "import gmsh"

works :-)

In debian package python3-gmsh, they put in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gmsh.py. Will be correct put in ${pkgdir}/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/gmsh or create a symbolic link from ${pkgdir}/usr/share/gmsh/api/python/gmsh.py to ${pkgdir}/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/gmsh? Maybe works something like export PYTHONPATH="/usr/share/gmsh/api/python/$PYTHONPATH" in /etc/profile.d/gmsh.sh.

Cheers.

Thanks for the package ;)

Got the following error while trying to install with yay -S gmsh:

The error was probably raised in LC_ALL=C make doc.

please update python installation path to 3.9

@gdolle Now it's fixed. I've added an environment script for csh as well.

Hi @gborzi, no unfortunately in both cases, overloading JULIA_LOAD_PATH seems to be the way, ju does not have standard path similar to python site-package directory to my knowledge.. (See https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/environment-variables/#JULIA_LOAD_PATH). I think /usr/share/gmsh/<path_somewhere> may avoid you headache in the future with other pkg. Best, G.

@gdolle Thanks for the comment. I don't know the julia framework, so I have a question on where to put the file: if the file is under /usr/share/julia/gmsh will julia be able to read it without the need to have a file under /etc/profile.d? i.e. will it be already in the load path under /usr/share/julia/gmsh? If so, I'd prefer this solution.

It might be better to move gmsh.jl from /usr/lib since it is not a shared library. Maybe /usr/share/gmsh/api/julia/ (or /usr/share/julia/gmsh ?) and add an environment script /etc/profile.d/gmsh.sh with

export JULIA_LOAD_PATH="/usr/share/gmsh/api/julia/:$JULIA_LOAD_PATH" (or "@gmsh")

Then it would work out of box in julia command line import gmsh.

@newsboost Looks like the problem is with the voro++ package. The source for voro++ couldn't be downloaded during your attempt to compile. Now it downloads without problem. Please retry the installation.
