Dear Foamers,
When I tried to compile the third party software, it always happens the same errors. Two of the error messages were quoted as below, and detailed log file was also attached. The OS is Opensuse 11.4, 32bit

Hi,
I'm having the same problem. Seems like the ParaView compilation is not seeing the OpenGL libraries. I'm running OpenSuse-11.4, 64 bit but I get the same error when I switch to Ubuntu also.

Strange thing is, I can compile ParaView under the main OpenFOAM branch without any problem. They even use the same version of ParaView: 3.10.1.

Greetings to both of you!

My apologies, but if this was an issue with the official OpenFOAM version, I would have already helped. Since this is the -Extend version, with which I'm not very familiar with, I don't know enough about it to help you.

All I can say right now is:
  • Report this as a bug here: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mantisbt...l_bug_page.php - don't forget to define that the "Third Party packages" is the project to report on.
  • If you have been able to use/build the ParaView version that comes with the official OpenFOAM, then you can hack the "$WM_PROJECT_DIR/bin/paraFoam" for the 1.6-ext version and add the path for the version that is currently working. So, let's see... using this version of paraFoam as reference, you can do the following hack - in bold is the added line:
    Code:
    # Description
    #     start paraview with the OpenFOAM libraries
    #
    #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    export PATH=/path/to/the/other/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.0.1/platforms/$WM_ARCH$WM_COMPILER/paraview-$ParaView_VERSION:$PATH
    usage() {
Best regards and good luck!
Bruno

Greetings to all!

@leo paul: How exactly are you trying to build ParaView? Or better yet, with which OpenFOAM version are you trying to build it with?

If it is with OpenFOAM 2.0.x, run makeParaView like this:
Code:
./makeParaView > makePV.log 2>&1
tar -czf makePV.log.tar.gz makePV.log
Then attach the file makePV.log.tar.gz to your next post. This way we can infer what is really missing, otherwise it would be necessary a magic eight ball or a crystal ball

And another question: which version of Ubuntu?

Best regards,
Bruno

This problem is related to mesa library.

I've solved the same problem by installing "libOSMesa" library in my Ubuntu(natty) box.

Yes, libOSMesa was the trick. I was smart enough to suspect the mesa library was the problem, but not smart enough to now how to fix it. I'm glad you were.

Greetings!

I believe I've found the cause of the problem. In ParaView-3.10.1.spec file, line 153, statement
Code:
addCMakeVariable  OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY:STRING=
should be deleted or commented out. When done, cmake's automatically found value (file CMakeCache.txt) on my system (OpenSuse 11.4 x64 with nVidia proprietary driver) reads
Code:
OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/lib64/libGL.so
Paraview builds now as it should, with hardware accelerated opengl (at least I hope so).

Best regards,
Stanislav

Yes, that worked well. JaeHeung's advice worked on Ubuntu but I couldn't see a simlar method for OpenSUSE. I noticed the line that needed commenting out was quite new which makes me think it's a newly introduced bug. I'll forward something on to Hrvoje and Martin to let them know. Thanks.

There is another problem I encountered after my previous post. The AllMake.stage4 script exited with errors and no rpm & tgz were built. Beeing in the ThirdParty dir, I entered into build dir left after AllMake.stage4, executed 'make install', and then I ran AllMake.stage4 for the second time:
Code:
./AllMake.stage4 # first try
cd rpmBuild/BUILD/ParaView-3.10.1/buildObj/
make install
cd ../../../../
./AllMake.stage4 # second try
It did the trick, rpm & tgz are built now, which is strange actually because the script first delete enything left over the first pass. Now the rpm or tgz should be installed manually. I just did simple copying:
Code:
cp -r rpmBuild/BUILDROOT/ParaView-3.10.1-linux64GccDPOpt.x86_64/..blah..blah../packages/ParaView-3.10.1/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/*    ./packages/ParaView-3.10.1/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/
Best regards,
Stanislav

Greetings Islam ElQatary,

Do the modification shown here: https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM...4eb91c581562c7

Basically edit the file indicated there and add the lines shown in green. The plus characters at the beginning of the green lines aren't necessary since they are only indicators that those lines are to be added.

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi everyone, how do you actually install the mesa library? I tried:

santiago@santiago-laptop:~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/ThirdParty$ sudo apt-get install libOSMesa
[sudo] password for santiago:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libOSMesa


Thanks for helping.

Hi Santiago,

These should be the ones (or at least they were a few years ago):
Code:
libosmesa6 libosmesa6-dev
When in doubt, install synaptic and then you can use it for more easily looking for packages whose name have changed into something veeeery strange

Best regards,
Bruno

Thanks a lot for your reply Bruno. I install the library in question and still I get the same error:

As I mentioned to you in other thread, I use 1.6-ext from the synaptic package so my paraview works well with that installation. Would it do any good for me to un-install that version and then try stage.4 again?

Hi Santiago,

Maybe it's best to do it the other way around: disable the ParaView version you are trying to build and then use the old one instead.

By the looks of it, it seems that you can do this:
  1. Start a new terminal.
  2. Do not run startOF16ext that was assigned to the deb version you had.
  3. When building the new version of 1.6-ext, run it like this:
    Code:
    export PARAVIEW_SYSTEM=1
    ./Allwmake
    This way it will skip the step for building ParaView.
When the new version is properly built... well, for now, the easiest thing to do would be to have two terminals:
  1. One where you have working the new 1.6-ext, perhaps in Debug mode already.
  2. Another where you have the old deb version of 1.6-ext, from which you can run ParaView.
Best regards,
Bruno

Thanks Bruno. I did that and it worked. Now I have a compiled version of OF-1.6-ext and I'm able to use Eclipse for debugging. Thanks

Dear Bruno,

Sorry, this is probably a very old thread, but I have a similar problem. Upon starting paraFoam, I get the same error message (read float past end of buffer), but then I just get to choose the "OpenFOAM" format from a list of options, and paraview works without further problems.

I'd gladly do the modification you suggest, but the thing is that I'm not allowed to do that myself. So I was wondering: is this a serious error (i.e. can I expect problems in the future if I don't do anything about it), or is it just mildly annoying but innocent?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Best,
Sita

Greetings Sita,

You can add the following alias command to your personal "~/.bashrc" file:
Code:
alias paraFoam='export LC_ALL=C; paraFoam'
Then start a new terminal and you should now be able to use paraFoam without any problems.

For more details about aliases and the shell: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...with_the_Shell

For more details about using the built-in ".foam" reader in ParaView: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/FA...er_in_ParaView
