Hi Guggelhupf,

OK, if my memory doesn't fail me, the problem can be fixed if you run these commands:
Code:
cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR

sed -i -e 's=//#define GLX_GLXEXT_LEGACY=#define GLX_GLXEXT_LEGACY=' \
  ParaView-4.1.0/VTK/Rendering/OpenGL/vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx
Then try building ParaView once again. Actually, to save some time, build ParaView with this command:
Code:
./makeParaView4 -no-config > log.makePV 2>&1
it will skip the reconfiguration of the whole build and it will continue building from where it stopped.


Sorry about this, because this issue is already fixed in the instructions for Ubuntu 14.10 and onward, on that very same wiki page, and I didn't have had the time/inspiration to re-test building on 14.04 with the same work-flow from 14.10

Best regards,
Bruno

Hello Bruno,

I followed your instructions but are still unlucky.

First point: When I type in:
./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1

or:

./makeParaView4 -no-config > log.makePV 2>&1

for the second time I do not get a summery of the installation like descriped in the Wiki.
The second time needs less time then the first but do not give a summery.

But there is no Error message after:
icoFoam -help

bjoern@Linux:~/OpenFOAM/bjoern-2.3.0/run/tutorials/incompressible/icoFoam/cavity$ icoFoam -help

Usage: icoFoam [OPTIONS]
options:
-case <dir> specify alternate case directory, default is the cwd
-noFunctionObjects
do not execute functionObjects
-parallel run in parallel
-roots <(dir1 .. dirN)>
slave root directories for distributed running
-srcDoc display source code in browser
-doc display application documentation in browser
-help print the usage

Using: OpenFOAM-2.3.0 (see www.OpenFOAM.org)
Build: 2.3.0-f5222ca19ce6

bjoern@Linux:~/OpenFOAM/bjoern-2.3.0/run/tutorials/incompressible/icoFoam/cavity$

Second: When I follow the Tutorial and want to start ParaView through entering paraFoam I get the well known Error Message:

FATAL ERROR: ParaView reader module libraries do not exist

Please build the reader module before continuing:
cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV4Readers
./Allwclean
./Allwmake

What can I do to solute this problem. We want to use OpenFoam at work and it would be really nice to get it on.

THX

Stop, everything is fine now. I was to fast.

After following the recommondations of Linux/OpenFoam:

FATAL ERROR: ParaView reader module libraries do not exist Please build the reader module before continuing: cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV4Readers ./Allwclean ./Allwmake
It starts through ParaView with entering ParaFoam

Thank you Bruno! I am able to work now.

Hello together,

after finishing the installation of OF and PV I did not want to work on the tutorial cases.

So now, I have the well known problem that I do not have a mesh in ParaView after entering paraFoam. I changed the language to english and entered " export LC_ALL=C" into the mentioned file. That did not help. How can I turn of the desktop effects and how have I to change the grafic card options?

Good news. OF as well as PV is working like I wanted to. To reach this I first selected another grafic card driver. But I dont think that this was it. After starting PV through entering paraFoam there was no (tutorial) mesh. Then I pressed the little button "apply" in PV and rebooted the pc. And than after following the tutorial I got it.

Dear Bruno,
I am a new OFer, and have failed to install paraview3.12 on Ubuntu 14.04.3. The fatal error information is just like what have been mentioned by Jetfire, but the reason seems to be different with Jetfire's.
Code:
FATAL ERROR: ParaView reader module libraries do not exist

Please build the reader module before continuing:
cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV3Readers
./Allwclean
./Allwmake
The attachment is the make.log which record information during the ./Allwmake process. Could you give me some advice? Thanks in advance.

PS: Before this paraview edition, I installed Paraview 4.4.0 for OpenFOAM-v3.0 and did not remove it with changing its environment variables.

Greetings lisa_china,

Unfortunately the file you have attached is from the wrong folder
You provided the file from the folder "ThirdParty-2.1.1", but I need the one from "OpenFOAM-2.1.1".

As for ParaView being built properly or not, please provide the output from the following command (after you've activated the OpenFOAM 2.1.1 shell environment):
Code:
which paraview
By the way, which specific installation instructions did you follow?

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,
Thanks for your reply. I installed OpenFOAM following instructions on the OpenFOAM official website. Here is the link: http://www.openfoam.org/archive/2.1....oad/ubuntu.php
And it was strange that there was no output when I executed "which paraview" command.

Sorry for providing a wrong file. The new attachment was generated when run Allwmake in OpenFOAM-2.1.1. I do not know whether it will provide useful information or not. Just as a reference

There is a question: could I download output files from Linux system and perform post-process in paraview on my PC with window system?

Thanks for your kind answer.
Best wishes.

Shan

Hi Shan,

OK, OpenFOAM 2.1.1 was built without any problems. All that is left is building ParaView 3.12.0. From these instructions: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...u#Ubuntu_12.10 - do step #9.
More specifically, first please run the following commands:
Code:
cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR
sed -i -e 's/ClearAndSelect = Clear | Select/ClearAndSelect = static_cast<int>(Clear) | static_cast<int>(Select)/' \
ParaView-3.12.0/Qt/Core/pqServerManagerSelectionModel.h
./makeParaView > log.makePV 2>&1
gzip < log.makePV > log.makePV.gz
Check the contents of the file "log.makePV". If at the end of the file it doesn't state where it installed ParaView, then please attach the file "log.makePV.gz" to your next post.
You can also check by running:
Code:
which paraview
If ParaView 3.12.0 was built with success, then proceed by running the following commands:
Code:
cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV3Readers 
wmSET $FOAM_SETTINGS
./Allwclean 
./Allwmake
Best regards,
Bruno

Hello all!

I've installed the openfoam5 and paraview with the help of the openfoam website.
The last thing they recommend is doing a tutorial to check if it al functions.

thats were the trouble starts...
after following the standard ./allwclean and ./allwmake commando's, it still gives back this error;
"ERROR: ParaView not found in /opt/paraviewopenfoam54"

And I agree with the error, as there is no folder in the OPT containing Paraviewopenfoam.
But if I do a search for the location of the folder, it points towards the OPT folder.

Could someone give me a hint on what to do?

Have you solved this problem?

If not, then please indicate which specific installation instructions did you follow and in which Operating System have you installed it in?
