CFD Online Discussion Forums - ThirdParty2.1.1 on Ubuntu 12.10 64bit

Hi everybody

I'm trying to install OpenFoam from source in my newly installed (from a formatted system) Ubuntu.

I followed the instructions from http://www.openfoam.org/download/source.php step by step, and the OpenFoam part seems to work ok, while the Paraview compilation seems to finish not successfully. Also, the PV3FoamReader module fails.

Here's an excerpt of how the makeParaview script output terminates:

export PATH=$ParaView_DIR/bin:$PATH
export PV_PLUGIN_PATH=$FOAM_LIBBIN/paraview-3.12
---

Done

At first I thought everything was ok as the "Installation complete" line suggested, but then while trying to build the PV3blockMeshReader and the PV3FoamReader plugins, I had the following result:

which I honestly cannot interpret.

Again, when I try to run the usual blockmesh-icofoam-parafoam sequence, the first two run smoothly while parafoam gives the following error:

Quote:

FATAL ERROR: ParaView reader module libraries do not exist

Please build the reader module before continuing:
cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV3Readers
./Allwclean
./Allwmake

I tried to find out something on other topics but wasn't able to find any solution... can anybody help ?

Thank you a lot in advance,

davide

P.S.
i'm using the following versions of software:
