With version 5.0.0 I cant open any step files from the libraries.
WRL seems to work.
What is your operating system?
could you post the stuff from help->about->copy version info?

There is your problem. KiCad has been compiled without support for OCE (open cascade community edition) This library would be needed to handle step.
This might be because there are some missing or incompatible libs in arch. Contact the guy responsible for packaging for more details.
Thanks you m8! I will compile it my self then!
If you get it running you might want to share your expirience both here and maybe more important with the person responsible for packaging kicad for arch. It might help them getting kicad compiled with that option in general.
Everything fine. Just had to add.
-DKICAD_USE_OCE=ON -DOCE_DIR=/opt/oce/lib/oce-0.18/
I have the same problem, but my OCE=ON. Anything else that could cause it?

Is OCE installed? In what directory is the libs? Maybe you should use the -DOCE_DIR= option.
everything is in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
This is a debian pkg installed from testing.
I take it that’s during compile time?
I have oce-draw and liboce-* installed. Doesn’t seem to make a difference. I don’t get any warnings that something’s not installed…
What is the output of dpkg --get-selections|grep liboce
dpkg --get-selections|grep liboce
liboce-foundation10:amd64 install
liboce-foundation11:amd64 install
liboce-modeling10:amd64 install
liboce-modeling11:amd64 install
liboce-ocaf-lite10:amd64 install
liboce-ocaf-lite11:amd64 install
liboce-ocaf10:amd64 install
liboce-ocaf11:amd64 install
liboce-visualization10:amd64 install
liboce-visualization11:amd64 install
You have conflicting versions of liboce installed. KiCad is compiled with liboce-*11 but may be trying to load liboce-*10 at runtime. I would uninstall all of the older version if they are not required for your other applications.

Funny thing is, after my latest “crash” it works now… something to do with the way the pcb file stores settings maybe and when it crashes they get wiped some how maybe shrug I’ll uninstall for sure. Thanks.
