When installing OF on a 32 bits opensuse11.1 partition, every thing works fine including paraFoam, but when trying to do the same on a 64 bits opensuse11.1, paraFoam does not work. What library is missing? or what should be installed in order to make paraFoam run? and Yes I have Qt 4.3.5 installed

Hi Ahmed,
you might have to recompile paraView yourself. http://opencfd.co.uk/openfoam/doc/README.html#Paraview -Louis |

Thank you for replying. May I ask how, and what file.
I have inserted the last two lines at the foot of the bashrc but that has not solved the problem, still the paraFoam cannot find a decent visual and aborts export ParaView_INST_DIR=/home/ahmed/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/ParaView3.3-cvs export ParaView_DIR=/home/ahmed/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/ParaView3.3-cvs/platforms/linux64Gcc export PV_PLUGIN_PATH=/home/ahmed/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5/lib/linux64GccDPOpt export PATH=/home/ahmed/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/Qt-4.3.5/bin:/home/ahmed/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/ParaView3.3-cvs/platforms/linux64Gcc/bin:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/ahmed/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/Qt-4.3.5/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH set WM_64=1 export WM_64 |

try making a symbolic link from the folder ParaView3.3-cvs to ParaView-3.3-cvs or the other way around. (in thirdparty folder that is)

This advice is unfortunately wrong for the current (1.5.x) version.
The default on x86_64 systems is 64-bit, so you needn't do anything (unless you have some old env values floating about). If you wish to explicitly change between 32 and 64 bit on these systems, the WM_ARCH_OPTION is available for this purpose. The convenience aliases 'wm32' and 'wm64' are available (see etc/aliases.{csh,sh}). |
