Is this error for ParaView something I should worry about?

This was being compiled on Fedora 22, 64 bit system, i7 processor, etc. I used these directions to compile: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Installation/Linux/OpenFOAM-2.3.1/Fedora#Fedora_22. I got to step 10, substep 3: checking for errors.

The file log.makePV gives me this error:

Code:

sed: can't read /root/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.3.1/ParaView-4.1.0/VTK/Utilities/kwsys/kwsysDateStamp.cmake: No such file or directory

Another question is, is this the right forum to be asking this question? (This is my first post to this forum).:confused:

Hi,

It depends. If your can use Paraview (through paraFoam or directly), then no, there is no need to worry. If you can not, then yes, start worrying. Yet the error just indicates absence of certain cmake module.

That message can be ignored. Sorry, I haven't managed to create a wiki page explaining these kinds of details.

I've moved this thread to the main OpenFOAM Installation sub-forum, because this issue is related to supported installations of OpenFOAM and related packages.
