Hi, I am new in using OpenFOAM, and I am preparing to learn from a simple demo. When I try to scan the mesh with the command paraFoam, there goes an error

FATAL ERROR : ParaView reader module libraries do not exist
         Please build the reader module before continuing
cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PVReaders
./Allwclean
./Allwmake

but when I finish the 1st and 2nd commands and type the 3rd one and press ENTER ,there comes one more error

ERROR: ParaView not found in /home/xthomas/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-5.x/platforms/linux64Gcc/ParaView-5.4.0

I am quite wonder the reason I got such a condition and could you please just give me some hints or solutions. Thank you.

Quick questions:

1. Which installation instructions did you follow?
2. Was ParaView 5.4.0 built with success or did you install the one from Deb packages?

Hi,

I have a similar issue but with version3.0.1 . I followed the instruction on the link :
https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...CentOS_SL_RHEL

every thing is good and openfoam installation is working.However, when I tried to install paraview I got the following error:

ERROR: ParaView not found in /home/bashar/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-3.0.1/platforms/linux64Gcc/ParaView-4.4.0

I followed step 13 on the above link but I got this error.
I hope you have time to read this.

Quick answer @Bashar: Sorry, I wasn't able to look into this anytime sooner. The problem seems to be that CMake was not built with success or is not installed... but since you didn't specify which Linux Distribution and version you were using, I'm not able to indicate what step you should have taken.
I hope you have solved this problem since then.

Thank you! Unfortunately, I was not able to solve this issue . I was trying to install it on my machine with Centos 7.

Quick answer: If you want to try again, please be certain that you follow the instructions written specifically for CentOS 7.1: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...HEL#CentOS_7.1

Furthermore, you can confirm if cmake is somehow installed by running the following commands:

which cmake
yum list installed cmake
rpm -q cmake
