Hi Wang Jianhua,
Is there a specific reason why you must use the version 2.0.1 of OpenFOAM? Because there have been already several new features added to OpenFOAM in the latest versions, as well as plenty of bug fixes. Anyway, to fix the problem, run these commands (one line at a time): Code:
sudo -s apt-get install paraview cd /opt/openfoam201/bin sed -i -e 's/requirePV=1/requirePV=0/' -e 's/extension=OpenFOAM/extension=foam/' paraFoam exit Best regards, Bruno

Hi I have the same problem with OpenFOAM 2.3.0, the instalation was ok and I can do the Processing without troubles, but when I execute the "paraFoam" it shows me this:
FATAL ERROR: ParaView reader module libraries do not exist Please build the reader module before continuing: cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV4Readers ./Allwclean ./Allwmake My Linux is Ubuntu 12.04, Processor: AMD 64bits Also I have installed the OpenFOAM 2.2.1 and 2.2.2, but those are not activated. I make sure to let in the .bashrc file just source /opt/openfoam230/etc/bashrc |

1) I followed the instructions from http://www.openfoam.org/download/ubuntu.php
But I installed the OpenFOAM 2.3.0 and the next day I turn on my laptop and installed Paraview 4.10 with: sudo apt-get install paraviewopenfoam410 2) It works properly using: paraFoam -case <caseName> However it should works well with just typing from the case directory: paraFoam Like the others OpenFOAM versions I had. At least It works, I can use it in that way. Thanks! |

After following what you have said, now my paraFoam can run again, thank you very much. Because our solver is developed on the version 2.0.1. So I have to use this version since we didn't update our solver. Finally, I am very appreciate your enthusiastic help. Best regards! |

One more question, after I do as what you have said, my paraFoam cannot reading from the keyboard. I don't know why, but if I open the paraview just like before: typing paraview, it can be readable from the keyboard. What's the reason?

The second detail is that you might be loosing keyboard control inside the terminal window if the ParaView window gains keyboard focus. If this is the case, it means that you will have to click in the textual part the terminal window. |

Thank you very very very much. I was facing the same problem in using paraFoam but your valuable post solved my problem. Some information about my installed packages: 1. ubuntu 14.04 LTS 2. OpenFOAM-2.1.1 3. To install OpenFOAM-2.1.1 I followed the instructions from: http://www.openfoam.org/archive/2.1....oad/source.php 4. Paraview-4.1.0 5. To install Paraview-4.1.0 I followed the instructions from: http://www.openfoam.org/download/ubuntu.php The error which I was getting: 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 used this to solve my problem: sudo -s apt-get install paraview cd /opt/openfoam211/bin sed -i -e 's/requirePV=1/requirePV=0/' -e 's/extension=OpenFOAM/extension=foam/' paraFoam exit Once again many thanks Usman |
