Dear Foamers,

I had successfully installed OpenFOAM 1.5 at my /home directory. Later I decided to install the patches from OpenFOAM from git repository. This is the procedure I followed.

I downloaded the OpenFOAM patched source code using the command:

git clone git://repo.or.cz/OpenFOAM-1.5.x.git

This created a directory called OpenFOAM-1.5.x, containing the source code in my /home folder. I transferred it to the already existing OpenFOAM folder in my /home directory and edited the .bashrc with the line:

. $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5.x/etc/bashrc

I made sure that the previous entry for OprnFOAM-1.5 was deleted. Then I compiled the library with ./Allwmake command. Now, all my solvers, utilities etc works fine. But, paraview starts crashing. when I tested it on icoFoam tutorial case.

I then compiled Paraview 3.3 and PV3FoamReader module following the steps mentioned in the OpenFOAM site by executing the following command.

* cd $FOAM_INST_DIR/ThirdParty
* rm -rf ParaView3.3-cvs/platforms
* buildParaView3.3-cvs

For PV3FoamReader module:

* cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV3FoamReader
* ./Allwclean
* ./Allwmake

Now, when I run paraFoam on the icoFoam tutorial case, I get the following message

"/home/mechartes/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/ParaView3.3-cvs/platforms/linuxGcc/bin/para view-real: error while loading shared libraries: libQtAssistantClient.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Is it asking me to install Qt4 now? I am a bit confused. I really need to install the patched version of OpenFOAM. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Alekh
