Good evening all,

I have a Fedora 14 system that I want to put OpenFOAM-2.0.1 on.
After that build was successfully completed I followed the above instructions and I appeared to have succeed in building ParaView.

Then I clicked on the "here" link and built the PV3Reader utilities it didn't work so well. I have a compressed log showing the errors but I haven't figured out how to attach it to this comment.

Here are some of the errors:
+ wmake libso vtkPV3Readers
wmakeLnInclude: linking include files to ./lnInclude
Making dependency list for source file vtkPV3Readers.C
could not open file vtkDataArraySelection.h for source file vtkPV3Readers.C
could not open file vtkDataSet.h for source file vtkPV3Readers.C
could not open file vtkMultiBlockDataSet.h for source file vtkPV3Readers.C
could not open file vtkInformation.h for source file vtkPV3Readers.C
etc.

Also:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:12 (FIND_PACKAGE):
Could not find module FindParaView.cmake or a configuration file for
package ParaView.

Adjust CMAKE_MODULE_PATH to find FindParaView.cmake or set ParaView_DIR to
the directory containing a CMake configuration file for ParaView. The file
will have one of the following names:

ParaViewConfig.cmake
paraview-config.cmake

I am very new to OpenFOAM but I am very interested in it.

So no "-j N+1" myth... I believe the story should deserve a "Busted" by MythBusters

Sorry about the delay.
I'm using the ParaView build as mentioned in a) http://www.openfoam.com/download/ubuntu.php

Let me read through your blog post and try everything mentioned there, and see if I can get it to work. Have gone back to OF 1.7.1 and ParaView 3.8.0 in the meantime.
Thanks for your time!

Hi Bruno,

Thank you for the reply. I installed OpenFOAM 2.0.x, and I overlooked the instructions for Paraview 3.10.1. So I installed paraview and used foamtoVTK. Now I will try the above thread.

You are right I am stressed out even though I felt happy after 2.0.x installed properly, after running a test case I closed my konsole, when I try to open a new konsole, it didn't respon. I restarted the computer and tried again, to my dismay nothing seems working, konsole, editors and other fedora applications are not responding. So I am still struggling

Thank you again for your time

Hello,

Is this procedure useful even for OpenFOAM 2.0.x with Paraview 3.10.1?
In the step 2, you mentioned if it doesn't say something like this "blah blah blah" then remove the directory and go to step 3. But when I type ls $Paraview_DIR, it gives me that line, so what should I do next? do I have to still remove the folder?

Thank you

Hi
Seeing that everyone is talking about Paraview 3.10.1, has anyone experienced a segmentation fault when making a screenshot in Paraview, as explained in the following bug report:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=542391

I'm running OpenFoam 2.0.1 on Ubuntu 10.10, and used the standard ubuntu repository install. I had Paraview 3.8.0 working perfectly before. Tried going the foamToVTK route but no luck either. Any suggestions/solutions?
Thanks

Good morning Bruno,

It works fine. Thank you very much.

Hi Bruno,

Greetings!!

Thanks for the method you gave to make paraview work for OF2.0. Although when I followed these steps for OpenFoam 2.0.x (centFoam) the paraview works fine, but now my 'gedit' command stopped working. On execution it says "Segmentation fault (core dumped). When I undid the step no. 8 (i.e. unhashed the '_foamsource..... paraview.sh' line) gedit again started working. Can you tell me any reason for this. FYI I installed centFOAM 2.0.x on RHEL 6.0 x64_86 and followed your above steps to build paraview.

Thanks in advance!!

Manoj

Thanks!!!!

Hi Bruno, hi Takuya,

thanks for your support!!
for the record: I tried openfoam 2.0 with paraview 3.10.1 on ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04

Looking at the links and it struck me:
I have no thirdparty software installed.. With openfoam 1.7.x i didn't need to - I just executed apt-get install openfoam 1.7.1 - (I'm not certain if I tried the multRegionFoam though).
Now I downloaded it from the Git Repository but I'm not exactly sure how to make it work..

Thanks again!!

Hi jofry,
That is the same issue to the one to which wyldckat provided the link, and has been filed as a bug with a proposed fix in the ParaView bug tracker.
