Any ideas whats wrong?

Just found in another forum that installing

xorg-dev

fixed the problem!

After managing to compile the ParaView I am having trouble with my other linux software.

For example, when trying to run kate I get this symbol lookup error

sega@deepblue:~$ kate
kate: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libkde3support.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN13QWidgetAction11eventFilterEP7QObjectP6QEvent

Seems to be a problem with this libkde3support?!

After switching back to Qt 4.5.0 (deleting the Qt related entry in bashrc) I was able to suppress the error message and ParaView is still working!

tom@linux-l8tg:~/OpenFOAM/tom-1.5/run/tutorials/icoFoam/cavity> paraFoam

paraview: symbol lookup error: /home/tom/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/ParaView3.3-cvs/platforms/linuxGcc/bin/libpqCore.s o: undefined symbol: _ZN14QObjectPrivate15checkWindowRoleEv



Thanks,

Tom, how did you solve this problem. In the next post I see you say it worked, but I don't see any post that suggested the fix.

I had some problems with symbol lookup errors, too.
Which distribution are you using?

I could fix the problem by deleting the Qt related entries in OpenFOAMs bashrc file on my Kubuntu 9.04 system.

I'm on Ubuntu 9.04. I originally had a working OpenFOAM system that I got by a combination of trying to install myself and the installation script that someone put out. But then I tried to upgrade to 1.5.x and messed everything up. (I should have left Thirdparty alone.)

I've compiled with several versions of QT (The one that 4.5 (I think, its the one that installs with package manager), 4.3.1 and 4.3.5. None of my compilations would run. I am currently trying the binary Thirdparty distribution, but I'm still getting the error about libPWCore.so (again trying different Qts) The strange thing is that library is right in the paraview tree, how can it be messed up?

I don't see any Qt related enteries in bashrc or settings.sh

Tammo,

It worked!!! I can look at the grid of the cavity case using paraFoam. The parafoam does not ask me for a reader now it just opens one up.

I am using OpenFOAM 1.5 (32 bit) and SUSE 11 and GNOOME shell.

I did have to recompile both paraview and parafoam. The compile, make, and install of qt takes a very long time even though I have dual processor 3.0 ghz machine.

Thanks, Tammo.

Now, I can start doing more than just installation tasks. I need to learn how the viewer works.

Tom,

Nice to see more success with 11. I was close to switching to 10.3.

My compile of qt runs in about 35 minutes. The remainder of the steps are usually in the "few minutes" range. I have the quad core 2.66 GHz with 4 GB of memory.

I want to add 4 G more and try the 64-bit software as time permits.

Hey Tammo,

Thanks a lot dude.

Your tips helped me a lot.

ParaView has strated working on my OpenSUSE 11.0

Keep up the good work.

[hsieh]

Hi, Tammo,

Thanks for the steps. I have also installed Qt-4.3.5 successfully on OpenSuSE 11.0 by following your steps. The only problem happened to me was that, after including "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QT/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" in ~OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5/etc/bashrc, I was no longer able to log into my user account. I had to remove it by logging into root.

I have also updated to paraview 3.4 by following Bernhard's post. Paraview 3.4 fixed a couple of problem I had with paraview 3.3 - sweet!

Hello, i have the same error as Samuel....

I succesfully install OpenFOAM and he can calculate some case (tutorials for example). But i can't display results with paraview because the native reader for openFOAM file is missing.....

I tried to install the native reader for OpenFOAM, as the README file explains (PV3Foamreader), but during the process the script cannot find 'libPV3Foamreader.so' in directory :

$HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5/lib/linuxGccDPOpt/libPV3FoamReader.so.

I checked the directory and the file wasn't here! So, i think the file is not in the binary file and i would like to know if is it possible to retrieve this file from another source?

I use the "32 bits" version of OpenFOAM and i work on ubuntu 8.10 with this kernel '2.6.27-9-generic'.

On the other hand, i installed successfully the '64 bits' version of OpenFOAM on another computer. This version works perfectly, paraview too.....with the native reader ;).

And for this, 'libPV3Foamreader' exists in the correct location...

I need to make the '32 bits' version worked, somebody can help me please. I read many topics here and i couldn't find a complete solution to my problem.

Thank you in advance for any help you could give to me.

Hi,

That is odd. I was able to compile paraview/paraFoam on 32 bit Ubuntu 8.10 without any problem (do need Qt-4.3.5). There is a thread on paraview/paraFoam on Ubuntu. Some additional packages (libmpfr-dev..) are needed according to the thread. You can check it out.

@Clement:

Sorry, but I don't know Samuel nor his error...

As mentioned before by others, it may be necessary to not only recompile the Foamreader, but also Paraview itself. I think you should try if the error disappears after compiling both.

Hi all,

I'm new to linux and OpenFOAM so I spent a few hours in try and error...

on my OpenSUSE 11.0 64bit I first got the same problem with the visualization of geometry etc... Then I followed the instructions of Tammo and got the same problem like others: I wasnt anymore able to login as a user (except of root).. I tried a lot and finally it worked by erasing the last line from the command:

# set QT related variables
QT=~/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/Qt-4.3.5
export PATH=$QT/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QT/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Dont know if it is needed... now post-processing works and Linux allows me to log in ;) ...

PS: I had to recompile Paraview

Hi All,

I was able to install everything and get it working by following Tammo's instructions. At one point I too found I could not login. The reason that was that I sourced the OpenFOAM bashrc (modified to allow the use of Qt-4.3.5) in my .bashrc file. Apparently, this is a problem for KDE4. If I source the OpenFOAM bashrc after login, there is no such problem. This may explain the problems some of you had.

Hi Tammo,

great work, no problems here.
Installed it according to your recipe, worked out of the box. The only thing I changed was to not use the tilda for setting the variable QT:

QT=/home/foamuser/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/Qt-4.3.5

System: Debian Sid based on Kanotix 2006-4, x86_64

Best regards,
-Thomas

[kenhelland]

Thanks to Thomas!

I used the variable QT:

QT=/home/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/Qt-4.3.5

since I followed Tammo's prescription for locating the Qt pkg.

This solved my login problems using KDE4. I am now running openSUSE 11.1 and with this QT I can use KDE4 without problems. There are a few nice improvements in 11.1 so I am pleased.

Again, thanks for idea
Ken
