Hi,

I am fairly new to Linux and this is my first post on cfd-online.

I cannot build ParaView.

Some relevant information:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 5 (Tikanga)
x86_64
QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.3.1 in /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.3.1/lib
mpfr-2.4.1
gmp-4.3.0

I have installed everything manually (not familiar with rpm or apt-get).

Error:

Do I need to download MPFR or GMP in the ThirdParty directory?
[applied@linux ThirdParty]# ls
Allwmake cmake-2.4.6 malloc openmpi-1.2.6 ParMetis-3.1 README
AllwmakeLibccmio gcc-4.3.1 metis-5.0pre2 ParaView3.3-cvs ParMGridGen-1.0 zlib-1.2.3

This is my first foray with Linux.

Thanks,
Paul

>> shared object file: No such file or directory

I understand that this error tells me that the linker cannot find the mpfr dynamic libraries.

[applied@linux ThirdParty]# locate libmpfr.so.1
/home/achuth/mpfr-2.4.1/.libs/libmpfr.so.1
/home/achuth/mpfr-2.4.1/.libs/libmpfr.so.1.2.0
/usr/local/lib/libmpfr.so.1
/usr/local/lib/libmpfr.so.1.2.0

I have tried modifying my LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable in .bashrc and .bash_profile with no luck:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib

What am I missing? It clearly has something to do with mpfr, but what else can I check? I can't get past building paraView.

Thanks in advance.
Paul

Hi Paul,

I read you have a x86_64 system. I had a similar problem on Fedora x86_64, because the installer is looking for some library in /usr/local/lib/. But since you have a 64 bit system it might be located in usr/local/lib64 (or the other way around). Copying the library file or making a symbolic link with

ln -s  /usr/local/lib/libmpfr.so.1  /usr/local/lib64/libmpfr.so.1

or some similar trick.
Hope this is of any help.

Regards,

Gijsbert

Thanks for your response, Gijsbert.

I tried your advice but it did not work. I created additional links to the other libmpfr.so files as well.

Here are my library directories:

/usr/local/lib --
libgmp.a libgmp.so libgmp.so.3.5.0 libmpfr.la libmpfr.so.1
libgmp.la libgmp.so.3 libmpfr.a libmpfr.so libmpfr.so.1.2.0

/usr/local/lib64 --
libmpfr.so libmpfr.so.1 libmpfr.so.1.2.0

I still get the same error.

Paul

Hmm, ok. I read on some blog that it may be a problem that the libraries are in /usr/local/lib... and not in /usr/lib...:

linked '/usr/local/lib/libmpfr.so.1' and '/usr/local/lib/libgmp.so.3' to the '/usr/lib' directory

Maybe that's an idea?

Cheers, Gijsbert

After linking libraries, I get a different error:
-
/home/achuth/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/gcc-4.3.1/platforms/linux64/bin/../libexec/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.3.1/cc1: error while loading shared libraries: libmpfr.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32
-

I see that it is related to a 32-bit / 64-bit library confusion.
-
[applied@linux ThirdParty]# locate libmpfr.so.1
/home/achuth/mpfr-2.4.1/.libs/libmpfr.so.1
/home/achuth/mpfr-2.4.1/.libs/libmpfr.so.1.2.0
/usr/lib/libmpfr.so.1
/usr/lib64/libmpfr.so.1
/usr/local/lib/libmpfr.so.1
/usr/local/lib/libmpfr.so.1.2.0
/usr/local/lib64/libmpfr.so.1
/usr/local/lib64/libmpfr.so.1.2.0
-
I also note that when I type echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, I get that it is an undefined variable. It is, however, defined when I echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH as a regular user. Note that for the build paraview step, I need to log in as a super-user.

I am still confused by this. I have seen some similar issues online but can't get past this build process.

I can locate libmpfr.so.1 but cc1 cannot find it in the build process (this might help):

[applied@linux ThirdParty]$ ldd -v /home/achuth/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/gcc-4.3.1/platforms/linux64/libexec/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.3.1/cc1
libmpfr.so.1 => not found
libgmp.so.3 => /usr/lib64/libgmp.so.3 (0x0000003395000000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x0000003382200000)
...

As seen above, I can locate libmpfr.so.1. What is going on?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

When I tried to run buildParaView3.3-cvs after rmoving platforms directory, i got the following messages.

[ 52%] [ 52%] Building CXX object Utilities/VTKClientServer/Graphics/CMakeFiles/vtkGraphicsCS.dir/vtkWindowedSincPolyDataFilterClientServer.o

Linking CXX shared library ../../../bin/libvtkGraphicsCS.so

please let me know, how can i avoid this and complete the installation?
