Hi all,

i am using paraview for 2 years now and I wanna use my 6 cores for the rendering now. For that I have to compile ParaView like the introduction given here:

http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView:Build_And_Install

I installed all Prerequisites but when i wanna configure my paraview settings with ccmake and switch on "use MPI" and set the MPI_LIBRARY path I ll get these messages:

Could not find the required MPI libraries

 CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are
 set to NOTFOUND.
 Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake
 files:
 MPI_EXTRA_LIBRARY
     linked by target "IceTMPI" in directory
 /home/shorty/OpenFOAM/ParaView-3.14.1-Source/Utilities/IceT/src/communication
 MPI_LIBRARY
     linked by target "VPIC" in directory
 /home/shorty/OpenFOAM/ParaView-3.14.1-Source/VTK/Utilities/VPIC
     linked by target "Cosmo" in directory
 /home/shorty/OpenFOAM/ParaView-3.14.1-Source/VTK/Utilities/Cosmo
     linked by target "Xdmf" in directory
 /home/shorty/OpenFOAM/ParaView-3.14.1-Source/Utilities/Xdmf2/libsrc

I installed openMPI with
[code]
./configure --prefix=/home/shorty/OpenFOAM/openMPI
make
make install
[/make]

After that I get the libs in that folder under "libs/" there is for example the file libmpi.so ect...

well I do not understand why I can t fix that problem!
Do someone know that problem? Or I am doing sth. wrong?

Thanks in advance
Tobi

Hi Tobi,

I haven't been doing any big builds of ParaView lately, but I've written a lot on this subject, which is mostly accessible from here: Related issues to ParaView with OpenFOAM - Fixes and solutions

You'll find instructions on how to get ParaView 3.12.0 with everything on it for OpenFOAM consumption here: ParaView 3.12.0 SuperBuild on OpenFOAM - Well, not everything on it, but all of the default stuff that is officially installed in the builds provided at http://www.paraview.org

Additionally, on that blog post about the SuperBuild, it should be possible to use 3.14.1 instead of 3.12.0; for the modified source code for 3.14.1, visit this project: https://code.google.com/p/unofficial...ew-dev-install - but remember: you should still use the folder name for 3.12.0 on disk, just so you don't need to change anything on OpenFOAM settings files

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,

its only you who is answering me
Thanks for that - all the time!

Okay I tryed it with PV3.12 but with the same result.
Build openmpi again into

$HOME/OpenFOAM/openMPI/

-> there are include and lib folders and the files are in it.
Set the path in ccmake to /home/shorty/OpenFOAM/openMPI
/home/shorty/OpenFOAM/openMPI/lib
/home/shorty/OpenFOAM/openMPI/lib/
/home/shorty/OpenFOAM/openMPI/lib/libmpi.so
.
.
.

but without succsess

While compiling openmpi i get those warnings (maybe thats the problem?)

vt_mpiwrap.gen.c: In function 'MPI_Register_datarep':
vt_mpiwrap.gen.c:4381:5: warning: '__malloc_hook' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/malloc.h:176) [-Wdeprecated-declarations]

I ll have a look at your links tomorrow - i am too tierd now!

Wow Bruno, thats the truth! THANKS TO YOU - ALL THE TIMES!
