[CIG-SHORT] installation problem?

[Charles Williams]

Hi Lucas,

You didn't do anything wrong, it's just that PyLith isn't finding any input and is using default values.  I believe that by sourcing setup.sh, pylith should already be in your PATH.  Try going to src/examples/3d/hex8 and typing:

pylith --help

This should give you some help information.  The difference is that pylith is now picking up some information from the pylithapp.cfg file in that directory.  Then try typing:

pylith step01.cfg

This should run the first example problem.  Let us know if this works OK.

Cheers,
Charles
