SalomeContextException error on launch

Install & build
1

Hello and thank you for the program.

I have been trying to get Salome 9.12.0 Linux universal to work. The errors I get are

./salome 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/olividir/Sóttar skrár/SALOME-9.12.0/./salome", line 71, in main
    from salomeContext import SalomeContext, SalomeContextException
  File "/home/olividir/Sóttar skrár/SALOME-9.12.0/BINARIES-CO7/KERNEL/bin/salome/salomeContext.py", line 26, in <module>
    from parseConfigFile import parseConfigFile
  File "/home/olividir/Sóttar skrár/SALOME-9.12.0/BINARIES-CO7/KERNEL/bin/salome/parseConfigFile.py", line 49, in <module>
    class MultiOptSafeConfigParser(configparser.SafeConfigParser):
                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: module 'configparser' has no attribute 'SafeConfigParser'. Did you mean: 'RawConfigParser'?

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/olividir/Sóttar skrár/SALOME-9.12.0/./salome", line 1266, in <module>

    except SalomeContextException as e:
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
UnboundLocalError: cannot access local variable 'SalomeContextException' where it is not associated with a value

and mesa-salome reveals the same error

./mesa_salome

I have not been able to find this exact problem yet, the closest is this issue Issue running Salome at 22.04

cat /etc/os-release

I do not see that I am missing any library, so I am a bit lost here. Any idea to point me into the correct direction highly appreciated.

Can you try to check if installing SALOME ina directory، without space or special characters resolves the reported issue?

If not then we can investigate further.

I have moved the install directly under my main folder /home/olividir. This is the error I get now

I have to say, it is a bit easier to read the error here comparedto my plain terminal

There is some conflict between your Python and SALOME here. Can you try the following:

source SALOME-9.12.0/env_launch.sh
SALOME-9.12.0/salome # or mesa_salome

GOD… can’t believe I forgot to source the damn thing. This is running now…
Thank you very much for the help.
