checking with foamInstallationTest: does this mean that everything is okay?
 

Dear All,
After I installed OpenFoam, I used the foamInstallationTest to check if everything is okay with my installation. And I got the following message:

Dos this mean that everything is okay? But how come when I use the paraFoam command there are something wrong with it and reminding me that :

FATAL ERROR: ParaView reader module libraries do not exist

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

You should compile Paraview (or binaries from repositories, or website).
If you wish to compile, take a look inside third party dir.

Thank you for your reply, beep-beep,

I did as the instruction here
Please build the reader module before continuing:
cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV3Readers
./Allwclean
./Allwmake
But unfortunately, it is not working. Still the same message showing up when I am trying to use the command paraFoam.

Best Regards

This error is not uncommon. A quick search lead me to this thread:

Thank you so much! Blacksquirrel
It worked. I could use paraFoam now :)
