open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

Hello everyone,

I have installed Telemac before in linux 12.04 without any problem. Now I move to linux ubuntu 13.04 and when running compileTELEMAC.py it stops and shows the following lines (I just post the last few lines):
"
....
File "/home/lisa/opentelemac/v6p2r1/pytel/compileTELEMAC.py", line 81, in getTree
tTree,rTree = getTree(use,libname,list,level,rebuild)
File "/home/lisa/opentelemac/v6p2r1/pytel/compileTELEMAC.py", line 77, in getTree
if list[lname].get(use) == None:
RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded in cmp
"
My best guest its that something is wrong with the recursion limit in python.
Any ideas in how to fixed would be much appreciated. If more information is needed, Ill be more than glad to provided.

Best regards,
Oscar

Hi Oscar

I'm not an expert, but maybe it helps to check which python version you have installed. I'm not sure, what the default version under Ubuntu is, but some Linux distros use python 3.X as default. Which might cause the problem.

Hi Leo,

Thank you for advice, appreciated.

Ill check that.

Best,

Hi,

There was a bug like that in the earlier version of telemac-mascaret.
Which version of Telemac are you installing ?
Ans the version of python would be interesting too.

Cheers,

Hi,

Thank you for your msg, appreciated.

I dont have all the information now, sorry about that. I do remember that the conflict was with python installation. I had two versions 2.7.3 and latest one. I guest that may affect the installation.

Now i decided to use Linux 12.04 since I did this process a few months ago and that works. I haven't tried yet but Ill post how it goes.

Appreciate the time you have taken to read my post.

Best regards,

Oscar

Hi

I am trying a fresh installation in Ubuntu (in fact kubuntu) 13.10 and python 2.7.5

The solution proposed in a python related site would be to increase the recursion limit for python in the compileTELEMAC.py file with the command:

sys.setrecursionlimit(1500)

It seems that python default recursion limit is 1000.

Nevertheless I am already setting a 5000 limit and my compilation still crashes with the same error.
Any sugestions?

Paulo

Solution: installed python 2.7.3.
Now it is compiling without any problem.

Hello,

yes indeed -- this was discussed on this forum -- you have to switch to more recent version of the python scripts (v6p3r2 will do) with new improvements and optimizations made to work with the arrival of python 2.7.5 and above.

Alternatively, python 2.7.3 (only) works with previous versions of the TELEMAC-MASCARET system.

Hope this helps.
Sébastien.
