Compiler error with makeParaView
 

I'm trying to compile paraview using the script makeParaView in ThirdParty package. I'm using Intel compiler icpc. The compilation failed with the following message. I wonder if there is any solution for this. Thanks.

Greetings zhang88 and welcome to the forum!

Knowing which operating system and version, as well as ICPC version would make it a lot easier to help you! ;)

Otherwise I'd suggest:

1. Use GCC instead of ICPC for building ParaView.
2. If possible, use a pre-built version of ParaView, instead of trying to build your own. The ones from www.paraview.org usually work just fine and they already come with Python integrated!
3. You can check openfoamwiki.net for some possible hacks. For example: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...dora#Fedora_17 - scroll to the end of the page ;)

Best regards,

Just an addendum in case anyone else find themselves at this problem:

I was having this same error, compiling ThirdParty-2.2.x on a machine using all Intel compilers. I thought that the icc and icpc should've already been declared as my functioning compilers but when running it would always return I was able to force this by simply adding the line in Hope this helps!
