Paraview - CentOS

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to compile OpenFOAM/Paraview from the source files on CENTOS.
For OpenFOAM : everything is fine.

For Paraview :
I compiled qt and cmake in the ThirdParty directory. I modify the path in the makeParaview script.

Then during the configure part, I get this error :

Code:

Performing Test GLX_DEFINES_MACRO_GLX_VERSION_1_1 - failed

(...)

CMake Error at VTK/CMake/vtkTestGLX.cmake:212 (file):

file STRINGS file

"/home/trap/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.2.2/Paraview-3.12.0/VTK/Rendering/OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR-NOTFOUND/GL/glx.h" cannt be read.

Call Stack (most recent call first):

VTK/Rendering/CMakeLists.txt:506 (INCLUDE)

I reinstalled NVIDIA drivers. I checked the mesa library installation and the opengl installation with "yum". Everything seems up to date.

Does anyone know where it comes from ?

Thank you.

Few more information :

- glx.h is in the folder "/usr/include/xcb/glx.h"
- I opened the file vtkTestGLX.cmake : it says that OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR is defined within the function/file "FindOpenGL.cmake"which I don't understand how it works.

Well, I updated the system but the compilation is still bugging.
If someone has any idea, I'd take it.

Greetings Aurelien,

According to this blog post: http://techtidings.blogspot.pt/2012/...it-ubuntu.html - the problem might be because the file "/usr/lib64/libGL.so" is pointing to a dead link.
Try running this command to check to which file it's pointing:

Code:

ls -l /usr/lib64/libGL.so

Then check that file it is pointing to. In the blog page, it was pointing to something like "/usr/lib64/libGL.so.1", which was pointing to a non-existent file.

By the way, are you following the installation instructions from this page: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...CentOS_SL_RHEL ?

Best regards,
Bruno
