Qcad Professional Installation With Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
Posted: Wed Jul 02, 2008 6:58 am
I have QCAD Professional 2.2.1.0-1-prof.linux.x86. It ran OK with Ubuntu 7.
I repartitioned my disks, giving more space to Linux, and installed Ubuntu 8.04 LTS from a CD-ROM. This was a fresh install, wiping everything that was there from the previous version of Ubuntu. I then untarred and unzipped the Qcad tarball. This created directories under my home directory. However, when I tried executing Qcad (./qcad) nothing happens. I have tried executing from nautilus via the open command. I have tried ./qcad & from the terminal. Again nothing. When I do a ls -l I find that qcad is marked as executable.
I have even re-downloaded the tarball from Ribbonsoft.
The used of the package manager to install the non-professional version of Qcad results in a working Qcad system. But I want to use Qcad Professional which I have paid for!!!
Anyone else having problems with this version of Ubuntu?
