Little notes

Just a little note to myself, to start salome on a severly hacked and messed up workstation like mine:

paolo@rigel:~/salome_meca/appli_V2019.0.3_universal$ /home/paolo/salome_meca/appli_V2019.0.3_universal/salome

--- Error during Salome launch ---

I can’t recall where I found the solution, bit it is as simple as:

alias salome='LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6.0.28 /home/paolo/salome_meca/appli_V2019.0.3_universal/salome'
