paraview error
 

Hello to everyone.

First of all, I am new to Linux. I use Fedora 10 and wanted to start working with OpenFOAM.
I tried to install it and after two days, I cannot help myself and I hope that somebody of this Community can help me.

I downloaded the OpenFOAM packages from the Website and did everything, how it is explained in the README.
The foamInstallationTest brought only 1 fatal error (no connection to rsh, or ssh), but I already read on some sites, that this is not critical for an stand alone system.

So my Problem now is: If I want to us paraview, i got an error message. I tried this, like in the README:
-------------------------------
cd $HOME/OpenFOAM/$USER-$WM_PROJECT_VERSION/run/tutorials/icoFoam/cavity
blockMesh
icoFoam
paraFoam
-------------------------------

then I get the message:
-------------------------------
/home/Maddin/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5/bin/paraFoam: line 100: paraview: command not found
-------------------------------

line 100 is the following:
-------------------------------
paraview --data=$caseFile
-------------------------------



I really don't know what to do.

Thanks for any Help

okay,

After I tried nearly everything I read in this Forum and on other sites, I found out, that I can install ParaView via System->Administration->add software.
Now ParaView works and I can start it. The only Problem now is, that I can't open the cavitiy example file (and also the file I wanted to work with), because he can't find the right reader.

So I will search for an solution.

Thanks for everybody who read this and wasted some seconds for me :)

If anybody knows an simple soultion for my problem now, I would be thankful for an answer.

Good Night

Installing paraview from system repository like you,the simple solution is to use "foamToVTK". Paraview could open vtk files.

Thanks for the help. foamToVTK works perfect. :)
