Hi Guys , ...

First , sorry for my terrible English

While installing (Trying to open realflow.exe or realflow.bin from the terminal , this message appear in the terminal :

Quote:

Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Segmentation fault

And when I made sure that I have Python on my PC by typing Python in the terminal , It told me that there is python

Quote:

Python 2.7.8 (default, Sep 30 2014, 15:34:38) [GCC] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Cheers , and thanks in advance

realflow.exe
is a MICROSOFT WINDOWS program!
that exe part in the name is a Microsoft ONLY file extension

install that on a Microsoft Operating system
Windows7 or 8

and after spending $2000 to $4000 USD for a program
http://www.realflow.com/rf_2014
you can spend $200 for the microsoft OS to run it on

and this looks like a very EXPENSIVE repackaged version of " Blender"

the physics engen and fluid sim in the BGE is rather nice

realflow.bin could be a legit linux installer

I agree that for 4000$ windows is basically free unless op is trying to run a demo or pirated copy

Although many UNIX and Linux programs don't use a file extension, that is only to make them into easy commands. Many applications will use a script to configure a run, then directly invoke a .bin or .exe file. Consider for instance soffice (a shell script) which invokes soffice.bin (the main LibreOffice binary). Other operating systems also use .exe extensions consider, for example, OpenVMS.

as per the possible fix stated in that error
Did you set that ?

also seeing as this is a " 30 day TRIAL" version

you might REALLY want to BUY it
you WANT to USE IT so .....

but
if all you NEED is fluid dynamics in a 3d scene

use Blender ( it is FREE and in the suse repos)

Code:

su -
zypper in blender

it has a really nice physics engine and fluid dynamics

a slightly older version of blender

and

the wikibook

but if you NEED last years version of "RealFlow "
then BUY IT
