Hello everyone,

I try to get familar with Linux and Openfoam.
So while trying a few attempts I got better but never succed completely.

The remaining problem is ParaView. In the log file it showes me 18 fails which I am so far not able to fix.


System is Linux Mint 19.3
I followed this installation:

https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...7/Ubuntu/18.04


Anybody an idea?


Best regards
Michael



I had to shorten the logfile so I hope the relevant passages are still remaining. Shortened log.makePV is:

Hi again,

I tried a few attemds more but unfornately without more success than before.
I attached a longer version of the log.makePV and the CMakeError.log for the folder "/home/michel/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-7/build/linux64Gcc/ParaView-5.6.0/CMakeFiles"

Maybe anybody have an idea?

Hello Michael,


I am facing the same issue while building Paraview 5.6. Did you figure out the issue?

Hi Zuhaib,



I did not figure out this problem.

But to be honest my problem was a false understanding in the software preparation itself.


While trying again and again I figured out that I do not have to build it from source.

I did it as discribed here. Works fine for me:

https://openfoam.org/download/7-ubuntu/


My false understanding is the mixing up of installing and compiling I think.
Hope this is usefull for you.


Regards
Michael

Hi Michael,


Sorry for the delay in my reply.
Earlier I could install and built OpenFOAM using the link given below;



https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...7/Ubuntu/20.04


I was able to follow through the instructions clearly and it looked easy. I followed this link for installation as I was following OpenFOAM tutorials which were based on this version of installation.



However, lately because of some issues I had to format my system and reinstall Ubuntu 20.04 LTS right from the scratch. I am now facing issues while building Paraview 5.6 as one can see in my log.makePV file.


I wish if somebody expert from the OpenFOAM community could have a look at it and help me resolve it.



Many Thanks
Zuhaib

Hi Zuhaib,


sorry for the delay, too. Had some other things needed my attention...

My experience with Linux is very small, so I can not really give you an answer to your concern. Is it really needed to build it from source?
If not the link I sent can help to simply install without building it.

This is also applicable for Ubuntu 20.04.

Best regards
Michael
