Hello!

I've tried to view the mesh of the cavity example but got following error:

I cant find this location: ../../../../../paraview-2.2.0/Utilities/VTKClientServer/vtkClientServerInterpret er.cxx

Starting ParaView is now problem. Trying to update PVfoamreader the follwing message:

sleur@Wb:~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.2/applications/utilities/postProcessing/graphics/PVFoamRe ader> ./Allwmake

Any ideas or hints?

Thanks a lot!

libPVFoamReader.so is the OpenFOAM plugin for paraview. For me, it lives in: /home/coyote/hjasak/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.2/lib/linuxI32Opt/libPVFoamReader.so

and yours should be somewhere similar. Looks to me as if the plugin is not built.

Don't understand the message about cmake - you only need that to rebuild the paraview (are you compiling from sources?). In that case, there's quite a lot of work to do.

1) build paraview from scratch with shared libraries on. Keep the build directory (builds out of source, e.g.
You need cmake-2.0.6 or better, download from the web and build it
tar xvzf paraview-blah-blah
mkdir paraview-blah-blah-obj
cd paraview-blah-blah-obj
cmake -i ../paraview-blah-blah
2) make sure it runs on its own
3) try builiding paraFoam stuff by hand and pay attention to the errors - it is likely that some bits will be missing in the paraview installation.

Good luck,
