Problem compiling Paraview (Thirdparty)

Hi all,

I try to compile paraview-3.12.0 which comes with the thirdparty.
While compilation I get the following error message:

Code:

CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.

Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:

Hi Tobi,

I don't know if you've already fixed this problem or not, but if not, I'm able to give a better suggestion/solution/fix if I knew which Linux Distribution and version you are using in this case ;)

In addition, are you certain that you've already installed the correct graphics card drivers?

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,

Greetings Johny,

You're using the Nouveau drivers, which are open source. I don't know how good they are nowadays, but my suggestion is that you install the NVidia drivers (not open source :(), which officially support 3D performance with NVidia graphics cards.

After you've managed to install the NVidia drivers, the makeParaView or makeParaView4 scripts should work as intended.

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,

Thanks for the reply. Its getting more confusing when it comes to find the right driver for my computer. Could you please let me know which one is the right NVIDIA driver for my processor and version of ubuntu. And if you direct me where to find it would also be great help.

~$ lspci | grep VGA

Ubuntu 14.04 is still in beta stage, so it's probably not yet very stable.
But anyway, this page should explain how to install the official NVidia drivers for Ubuntu: http://askubuntu.com/a/307478
The actual driver model needed for your card should automatically be installed this way.

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,
Thanks again for the quick reply. It was pretty difficult to still get the drivers installed and as you said I thought it would be a better idea to start do do the whole process in a new installation.
I installed the new stable version of ubuntu

Code:

:~$ lsb-release -a

No command 'lsb-release' found, did you mean:

 Command 'lsb_release' from package 'lsb-release' (main)

lsb-release: command not found

Installed the nvidia drivers picking up the instruction from the link you provided

Now I was following the instructions in the link below to install OpenFOAM
http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...M-2.2.0/Ubuntu

After completing the step 8 with the command
wmSET $FOAM_SETTINGS

I still get the error as below

Code:

Warning in /home/user/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.0/etc/config/settings.sh:

    Cannot find /home/user/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.2.0/platforms/linux64/gcc-4.5.2 installation.

    Please install this compiler version or if you wish to use the system compiler,

    change the 'foamCompiler' setting to 'system'

I found the gcc-4.5.2 was located in the folder /home/user/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.2.0/ INSTEAD OF /home/user/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.2.0/platforms/linux64/
I moved the gcc-4.5.2 to /home/user/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.2.0/platforms/linux64/

And then as expected there was no error and continued till building the openFOAM without any issues.

The build log has errors(seeming due to the change I made above) as follows...

Code:

Hi Johny,

I'm glad the NVidia drivers have been installed with success. But I think you got lost in the instructions for installing OpenFOAM, because:

You're using Ubuntu 13.10, therefore you should be following the instructions that start at the respective section of the same name! But from your description, you accidentally followed the instructions that are meant for Ubuntu 10.04!!
I suggest that you go for OpenFOAM 2.2.2, instead of 2.2.0: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...u#Ubuntu_13.10
If the instructions don't mention anything about moving "gcc-4.5.2", then you should not have move it either ;)
Because what you actually did was move the source code folder and not the installation of GCC toolkit.

If you follow the instructions on the section "Ubuntu 13.10", you should not have any of these problems and possibly no problems whatsoever!
Please be very careful in following the instructions, since any mistake, no matter how small, can result it not reaching a successful installation :(

You might ask why this is so hard and detailed. The answer is simple: because OpenFOAM is at a similar level of detail, therefore you should learn to keep a very close attention to all details when installing and using OpenFOAM ;)

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,

The complete OF installation works now :-)
Thanks a lot.

Cheers,
J

Hi Bruno,

I got yet another problem. Right after my installation I had opened an stl geometry and viewed it properly in paraview. I don't know what changes I made, but now I simply can't view the same stl file. The file opens and instead of a 3D geometry I see just a line. I'm sure its some settings issue. Could you please provide some insight? Please see the screenshot.

Cheers,
J

Hi Bruno,

I figured it out that the stl file was in the plain text format and after conversion to binary it worked. But still wondering how it worked couple of days ago after which the file was never altered. Anyway now it works.
