[EnergyPlus_Support] Running Energy Plus in Ubuntu 10.4 x64,

["Gabi" <gabi_fantana@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm currently experiencing some difficulties in running Energy Plus under Ubuntu 10.4 x64: 
I've downloaded the program from the website on my desktop location and installed with following commands:

sudo chmod 777 SetEPlusV600023-lin-64.sh - to give all the rights needed
./SetEPlusV600023-lin-64.sh - to install the software

The installation went very smooth requesting:

EnergyPlus install directory [/usr/local]: - I gave Enter here
Symbolic link location (enter "n" for no links) [/usr/local/bin]: - also I gave enter here
enter aes-256-cbc decryption password: - here i wrote the password I had from the email

Finally the installation closed with:

Unpacking to directory /usr/local was successful.
Symbolic links were successful.

Now, when I try to run the software from console I have this result:

Missing Energy+.ini
 EnergyPlus Starting
 EnergyPlus, Linux, VERSION 6.0.0.023
 Missing Energy+.idd
 **FATAL:ProcessInput: Energy+.idd missing. Program terminates. Fullname=Energy+.idd
 No EnergyPlus Data Dictionary (Energy+.idd) was found.  It is possible
 you "double-clicked"EnergyPlus.exe rather than using one of the methods
 to run Energyplus as found in the GettingStarted document in the
 documentation folder.  Using EP-Launch may be best --
 it provides extra help for new users.
Press ENTER to continue after reading above message>
 EnergyPlus Run Time=00hr 00min  0.00sec
EnergyPlus Terminated--Error(s) Detected.

On my desktop are several files: energy+.ini, eplusout.audit, eplusout.dbg, eplusout.err, eplusout.iperr, eplusout.end.

I'm new to Linux, so i guess I didn't configure some paths or so because i doesn't seem to find some files. Help me to make this software run...

Thank you,
Gabi
