Hi Bruno,

Thanks a lot, it works!

You can add the following alias command to your personal "~/.bashrc" file:

Code:

alias paraFoam='export LC_ALL=C; paraFoam'

Then start a new terminal and you should now be able to use paraFoam without any problems.

For more details about aliases and the shell: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...with_the_Shell

For more details about using the built-in ".foam" reader in ParaView: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/FA...er_in_ParaView

Dear Bruno,

I got the same problem with paraFoam command that Sita posted @19

Dear Bruno,

Sorry, this is probably a very old thread, but I have a similar problem. Upon starting paraFoam, I get the same error message (read float past end of buffer), but then I just get to choose the "OpenFOAM" format from a list of options, and paraview works without further problems.

I'd gladly do the modification you suggest, but the thing is that I'm not allowed to do that myself. So I was wondering: is this a serious error (i.e. can I expect problems in the future if I don't do anything about it), or is it just mildly annoying but innocent?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Best,
Sita

I did the solution that you posted in 20

alias paraFoam='export LC_ALL=C; paraFoam'
but, still not working. I'm working in foam-extend-3.1. What to do?

Greetings Maimouna,

I need more details, in order to reproduce the same error. Namely:

Which Linux Distribution are you using?
What installations instructions did you follow?
What does the following command give you?

Code:

which paraview
Which tutorial case can be used for reproducing the same error message?

Best regards,
Bruno

HI,Bruno! I meet the similar problem when I install OF2.2.2.I install it by installation packages OpenFOAM-2.2.2 and ThirdParty-2.2.2. The packages are gcc-4.6.1,gmp-5.0.4,mpfr-3.1.0,mpc-0.9,boost_1_45_0.,CGAL-4.0.2,cmake-2.8.4 andqt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.3.
I am sure the Qt is install correctly,these are the end lines of the output log file.
