Subject: Re: OTHER: ANSYS 11 in 64-bit OpenSUSE10.3 - ELFCLASS32

I have installed ANSYS 11, WB, and CFX on both 64-bit SLES9 and SLES10.
I was not able to get WB or CFX to work on CentOS 5 (binary compatible
with Redhat) due to errors similar to what you are seeing but "classic"
worked. In the end, I relented and installed SLES9.

You are incorrect in stating that ANSYS does not support Linux. They do
support Linux, just not the flavor you are trying to use:
http://www.ansys.com/services/ss-linux.htm

ANSYS R12 Linux support is shown here:
http://www1.ansys.com/customer/content/ANSYS12_product_platform_support_plan-091907.pdf

I have had issues on my Linux installs where a new version of a library
breaks ANSYS and I have to revert to an earlier version of the library.
In my experience, XFree86-devel, XFree86-Mesa, and XFree86-Mesa-devel
have all been sensitive regarding their version. Have you checked what
version of libXm your school's 32 bit machines are running and tried
installing the same version 64-bit lib on your machine?

I agree with Michael Leventis that the error appears to be related to
Motif and that you are probably missing the correct non-free libraries
because you are using OpenSUSE instead of SLED/SLES.

I don't think LessTif is going to fix your problem but I suppose it is
worth a try before you install one of the supported distributions.
