CloudCompare forum

@augie please try to reboot your computer an try to launch CloudCompare first through the graphic shell.

It's really 2.9, but I messed up with release number on the snap package (If a day you manage to launch it, you'll see it's really 2.9 ;). I don't know if snap is running flawlessly in 14.04, it's really supported since 16.04. Cannocical have made a sort of backport for 14.04 but I'm not really sure...

Hello, sorry for the delay,
you have to run cloudcompare.CloudCompare with the snap package. The prefix prevents name collision with potential other package and binaries of CC installed on your computer, you can make an alias if it's an issue for you.

Bonjour, je crois avoir indentifié un problème sur un paramètre du plugin RANSAC Shape Detection depuis un moment. le correctif potentiel est très simple mais êtes vous en mesure de compiler le programme par vous même ? Sinon pourriez-vous essayer de diviser le paramètre "max distance to primit...

You don't have to specified any QT5 directory to compile on Ubuntu 16.04, it should work out of the box if you have the right packages installed. the deb package is outdated but you can use the snap package, it's easy to install: sudo snap install cloudcompare for the latest stable version. sudo sna...

In Snap, there is a namespace concept, to launch your application you have to type namespace.applicationbinary . for CC package the namespace is cloudcompare. So you you have to type cloudcompare.CloudCompare.

you can also launch CC from the Unity shell by clicking on the icon.

then it's normal, it won't work like this.
you have to run make install and then simply run "CloudCompare" or to be sure run "/usr/local/bin/CloudCompare" and tell me if it works

Could be.
How did you launch CC, by the mean of the icons in the menu?

have you another version of CC installed on this computer?
else I must admit that I'm clueless here,
It should just work fine, you are the first to encounter the issue since we changed the whole path system

We just check with Daniel, it should work fine as is.
could you give me the output of "which CloudCompare"?
thanks
