Hi,
I am trying to install NGSolve on Windows Subsystem for Linux (
WSL
). I have strictly followed the
guide
to build from the source onto Debian/
Ubuntu on WSL
with using a Debian/Ubuntu terminal on Windows 10. However, I am not able to run any python script in the python_tutorial file after the NGSolve is successfully installed. The message always shows up "Segmentation fault". For a detailed example, it shows:
Code:
NETGEN-6.2.2103-30-g44d72073
Developed by Joachim Schoeberl at

Problem in Tk_Init:
result = no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable
optfile ./ng.opt does not exist - using default values
togl-version : 2
no OpenGL

I have checked that my python version is 3.7.3 in the Debian/Ubuntu on WSL terminal environment. On the other hand, everything works well with the
Windows installer
on my Windows 10 laptop. So I am wondering if NGSolve does not support to be built from the source on WSL environment yet. Does anyone have experience in working with WSL and how to solve the problem?
