Hi everyone, I have used the opeFoam script to install OpenFoam and it seems to work (I get no errors at the test installation script). I also used the paraview install script, however when I type in the terminal the command paraFoam -case $FOAM_RUN/icoFoam/cavity (as in the lid driven cavity tutorial - http://www.opencfd.co.uk/openfoam/do...tml#x5-40002.1) I get the following message :

paraview: symbol lookup error: /home/fivos/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/ParaView3.3-cvs/platforms/linux64Gcc/bin/libpqCore.so: undefined symbol: _ZN14QObjectPrivate15checkWindowRoleEv

The same error message I get if I try to run paraview, meaning that when I type paraview I get the same as above. Any ideas on what it is and how can I fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Did you try logging out and then back in?

[fivos]

Tried it but nothing, the same problem persists. Besided since the time I used the installation scripts, I have turned on and off my computer several times, so I believe that could be considered as log off and log in, right?

Right. Post the output of the command

echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

.

[fivos]

Typed the command :
fivos@fivos-desktop:~$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

And the output :

/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.3.5/lib:/home/fivos/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/ParaView3.3-cvs/platforms/linux64Gcc/bin:/home/fivos/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5/lib/linux64GccDPOpt/openmpi-1.2.6:/home/fivos/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/openmpi-1.2.6/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/lib:/home/fivos/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/gcc-4.3.1/platforms/linux64/lib64:/home/fivos/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/gcc-4.3.1/platforms/linux64/lib:/home/fivos/OpenFOAM/fivos-1.5/lib/linux64GccDPOpt:/home/fivos/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5/lib/linux64GccDPOpt

I'm guessing the version of Qt libraries libpqCore.so finds and the version of Qt ParaView was compiled with is different (a version mismatch).

Try this:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH paraview

[fivos]

After typing the command
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH paraview

I get the same error message:
paraview: symbol lookup error: /home/fivos/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/ParaView3.3-cvs/platforms/linux64Gcc/bin/libpqCore.so: undefined symbol: _ZN14QObjectPrivate15checkWindowRoleEv

Do

sudo aptitude purge paraview libqt4-dev
sudo apt-get autoremove

Try again. If problem persists, then post the output of the command

ldd $(which paraview) | grep -i not

If there is no output, post output of command ldd $(which paraview).
Post the output of the command

cat /etc/ld.so.conf /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*

[fivos]

Done the first two commands (sudo aptitude purge paraview libqt4-dev and
sudo apt-get autoremove). The first gives :

fivos@fivos-desktop:~$ sudo aptitude purge paraview libqt4-dev

Problem persists when I type command (paraFoam -case $FOAM_RUN/icoFoam/cavity). Same error code :
paraview: symbol lookup error: /home/fivos/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/ParaView3.3-cvs/platforms/linux64Gcc/bin/libpqCore.so: undefined symbol: _ZN14QObjectPrivate15checkWindowRoleEv

The command ldd $(which paraview) | grep -i not does not give a result, so tried command ldd $(which paraview), which gave the following rows :

You're most likely using the precompiled version of ParaView, which complains when it finds libraries which it's not compatible with (since it was compiled with a different version of Qt). (This is supported by fact that your binary references shared libraries from MPI, whereas MPI support is turned off in the version compiled by the buildParaView3.3-cvs script.)

So the solution is to compile ParaView & PV3FoamReader. (What the script should have done )

rm -rf $FOAM_INST_DIR/ThirdParty/ParaView3.3-cvs/platforms
buildParaView3.3-cvs
cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV3FoamReader
./Allwclean
./Allwmake

Ok I think I have found something :

rm -rf $FOAM_INST_DIR/ThirdParty/ParaView3.3-cvs/platforms
Its OK, but

buildParaView3.3-cvs, gives

I guess that there is something with cmake (that's why, probably, the script didnt work). So now how can I install Cmake? As far as I have seen cmake (ver. 2.6.0-4 ubuntu2) is already installed through synaptic. Could you please tell me what can I do now?

The 'cmake' from the repositories is a newer version than the one ParaView requires to compile, and this newer version causes the error. There's two things you can do now: you can either remove the 'cmake' package and try again or temporarily change the PATH variable like so

PATH=/home/fivos/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/cmake-2.4.6/platforms/linux64/bin:$PATH

and continue with buildParaView3.3-cvs. In any case, the output of the command which cmake should give you

/home/fivos/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/cmake-2.4.6/platforms/linux64/bin/cmake
.

[fivos]

No matter what I do, I cant use cmake. I dont know why, but the command buildParaView3.3-cvs
keeps giving as an output the same error message :
Building ParaView3.3-cvs

Python support : OFF
MESA support : OFF

done

In short it says that cmake is not installed.

Well I have uninstalled cmake 2.6.04, which was already installed, also used the PATH=/home/fivos/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/cmake-2.4.6/platforms/linux64/bin:$PATH in order to change the command path, but nothing.
I downloaded and unpacked again the ThirdParty.general.gtgz and ThirdParty.linux64Gcc.gtgz but again nothing.
Something else that I have noticed is that if I access the /home/fivos/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/cmake-2.4.6/platforms/linux64/bin/ folder I can see the cmake executable :
( ~/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/cmake-2.4.6/platforms/linux64/bin$ ls -l
total 14048
-rwxr-x--- 1 fivos fivos 3416168 2007-01-10 19:50 ccmake
-rwxr-x--x 1 fivos fivos 3215572 2007-01-10 19:50 cmake

-rwxr-x--- 1 fivos fivos 4304336 2007-01-10 19:50 ctest )
but I cannot run it.
I get the following output whenever I try to run it :
fivos@fivos-desktop:~/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/cmake-2.4.6/platforms/linux64/bin$ ./cmake
bash: ./cmake: No such file or directory
Any ideas on what can I do here?

Sorry, can't help you there. Works for me:

What was the procedure you followed for installing cmake? Did you just unpack the ThirdParty.General.gtgz and then the ThirdParty.linux64Gcc.gtgz and cmake was ready to use? Did you do something else?

P.S. I know that I am continuously asking about this and that, but I cant figure out what is going on with this installation. Also thank you for your support.

Hi Jure and All



i need help again

i tried to install OpenFoam-1.5-dev from

I just managed to reproduce this error. I don't know what causes it, but this workaround works for me: install the cmake package from the repositories:

sudo aptitude install cmake

Then rerun the last 20 lines of installParaView, like so:

cat installParaView.txt | tail -n 20 > installParaView2
chmod +x installParaView2
./installParaView2

This will use the cmake from /usr/bin, bypassing the one included with the ThirdParty package. Hope it helps.
