Difficulties installing surfe on linux

[lachlangrose]

Transfering issue from LoopStructural, @MichaelHillier I will try and sort this out on my branch but I can't have issues on it because it is a fork!

Loop3D/LoopStructural#59

Answering the question from @lachlangrose at Loop3D/LoopStructural#59: I am using the system install of Python 3.8 on Ubuntu, with a few libraries brought ahead to more recent versions via pip3. I am not using Anaconda.

Hi, I am not sure if this problem was solved. Are we able to use the surfE wrapper in Linux? I can use LoopStructural without any problem, but not the interpolation using surfE. Is Anaconda the problem?
Thank you so much!

Hi @jfgiraldoa

It hasn't been solved as far as I am aware. However, I am currently using surfe from the Loop3d repository but installing it by building from source. This shouldn't be too difficult on linux just remember to clone all the submodules.

I need to take another look at this to try and get it working on anaconda. Otherwise I may write a python RBF interpolator for LoopStructural.

Cheers

Hi @lachlangrose,
Thank you for your reply. I just installed LOOP by building from source, but the problem still remains.

LoopStructural.modelling.core.geological_model ~ WARNING ~ Cannot import Surfe, try another interpolator

I only cloned the LoopStructural module because it is the only one I need. I am not sure which others you suggest installing that can help me to run the surfe wrapper. (Or what do you mean by "to clone all the submodules" )

Thank you!
