Fonud a couple of script errors in 1.5-dev
 

Reposting from a thread in OpenFOAM/Installation... the final post:

Found it.
There was a bug in the 1.5-dev buildParaView3.3-cvs script, as well as in the bashrc script under OpenFOAM-1.5-dev/etc/apps/paraview3. See below:

buildParaView3.3-cvs: (lines 42-50)
VERBOSE=OFF
INCLUDE_MPI=OFF
MPI_MAX_PROCS=32
#INCLUDE_PYTHON=OFF
INCLUDE_PYTHON=ON
PYTHON_LIBRARY="/usr/lib64/libpython2.5.so.1.0"
PYTHON_LIBRARY=""
INCLUDE_MESA=OFF

Comment out the second last line. Not sure why it's there.

OpenFOAM-1.5-dev/etc/apps/paraview3/bashrc: (line 45)
export ParaView_INST_DIR=$WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/ParaView-$ParaView_VERSION

Remove the `-`. i.e. change to:
export ParaView_INST_DIR=$WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/ParaView$ParaView_VERSION

I'll be repeating this under 'bugs'.

I just checked on 1.5.x and there are similar "issues" there. But I don't think that they are bugs per se, but that they reflect differences between installations (of paraview and python)

You mean the second line with PYTHON_LIBRARY? Leave that and comment out the first one. Otherwise it will only work on 64-bit machines with a python 2.5 installation. Leaving the empty variant SHOULD make cmake search for the python-installation by itself.

This '-' depends on how the sources for Paraview were extracted (To a place with or without '-'

I'm afraid with the stuff in the etc-tree you've got to be aware that you'll have to do some fiddling if you pull them from one of the Source repositiories because there might be some things in there that are different from the binary release

Fair enough. I guess cmake couldn't find it, or I've messed that up somehow too.

I think the '-' is a typo because it extracted without a '-', and the ParaView2.x bashrc script has it right...

OTOH using a '-' delimiter is consistent with the naming convention used with various other ThirdParty packages (and rpm packages as well, incidentally).
It is also a convention that paraview uses internally too - ie, paraview searches a "lib/paraview-X.Y" path for its own components.

... a bit hypocritical of me, with a typo in the thread title... hehehe.

In my experience cmake HAS a hard time finding the Python-installation. I guess that is one of the reasons why Python is not enabled in the buildParaview-script by default
