I didn't spend too much time trying to get it to work, it was probably some 32-bit library I was missing. I decided that using an open source program like FreeCAD which includes solid modeling

If solid modeling isn't important, there's always QCAD. The fully open source version is included in Fedora, but it's a version behind the 'pro' version that costs a little bit. Just another option; I've used QCAD for a while and like it, but it is definitely 2D only.

you can also do ldd $(which draftsight) and see the missing libraries. Then do sudo yum whatprovides for each missing lib. Em Ter, 2011-12-06 às 14:15 -0600, Richard Shaw escreveu:

I don't recall having to do anything particularly special, but it has been a while since I installed it. I didn't spend too much time trying to get it to work, it was probably some 32-bit library I was missing. I decided that using an open source program like FreeCAD which includes solid modeling (even if it uses some non-free components) is still better than using something completely proprietary. Richard

I tried DraftSight many months ago while I was still running Fedora 14 x86_64 but never got it to run. I'm working on packaging FreeCAD[1]*** on RPM Fusion, however, it's a full solid modeling CAD, not just 2D. I'd be interested in beta-testers though. Richard [1] https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/free-cad/index.php?title=Main_Page *** Disclaimer: While FreeCAD itself it GPLv2+/LGPLv2+ licensed, it uses OpenCascasde which is non-free due to it's license, so FreeCAD if/when approved will have to go into the RPM Fusion non-free repository.

I am...

like what?, cos all you really need to figure out is if your programs have a 64bit version...

I'm running Draftsight on F14 x86_64 now; it seems to work fine. I don't recall having to do anything particularly special, but it has been a while since I installed it.
