Enable Python in paraFoam
 
Hi all, I am tryng to calculate lift and drag on a cylinder, but in order to do that I need selection tools available through the Find Data dialog. When I try opening this dialog however I get this message:

Code:
Error: Find Data requires that ParaView be built with Python enabled. To enable Python set the CMake flag 'PARAVIEW_ENABLE_PYTHON' to True.
I am running paraFoam 4.1.0 on Ubuntu 14.04LTS.
What exactly am I supposed to do to enable Phyton? the installation process was harsh enough and I'd like to avoid breaking it.
Thank you

Greetings to all!

Just thought I'd let you know that the latest instructions on the wiki for installing OpenFOAM 2.3.0 on Ubuntu 14.10 now include instructions to build ParaView 4.1.0 with Python and Open-MPI: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...u#Ubuntu_14.10

I updated them on the 30th of November, but ended up forgetting to mention it here.

And that the instructions for building OpenFOAM 2.3.1 are essentially the same, apart from the version number.

Best regards,
Bruno
