paraview compilation error paraview-3.12.0
 

Hi ,
On running makeParaView in the Third Party folder i get the following error :
The OpenFOAM installation proceeds without any problems. Does anyone have a clue to this ?

Thanks.

Greetings Balkrishna,

OK... since my crystal ball is broken, so I'll have to ask:

1. Which Operating System are you using? Or better yet, which Linux distribution/version are you using?
2. Which OpenFOAM version are you trying to install?
3. That is only the very final lines of the build output. Please provide the complete log by following these steps:
   1. Run it like this:
      Code:

      ---

      ./makeParaView > makePV.log 2>&1

      ---

   2. Edit the log file "makePV.log" and replace any sensitive data, such as user names and paths.
   3. Package the log:
      Code:

      ---

      tar -czf makePV.log.tar.gz makePV.log

      ---

   4. Attach "makePV.log.tar.gz" on your next post.

Best regards,
Bruno

Thanks for the prompt reply. I shd have included the details in the previous post. Anyways the details are as follows :

i) OS : Ubuntu 10.04 32 bit
ii) OpenFOAM version : 2.1.0 - source pack

The file is attached with this post.

Thanks,
Balkrishna.

Hi Balkrishna,

Mmm, this is odd... the specific error is this:
I've tested in a virtual machine with Ubuntu 10.04 i686 and I didn't get this error. Which cmake version are you using?
Additionally, which version does Ubuntu say it's installed?
I've got this version:

Hi,

I have got this version :
It seems there is no difference in the cmake versions.

Balkrishna.

Mmm... then I recommend that you erase the "ParaView-3.12.0" folder from "ThirdParty-2.1.0" and replace it with the official version available from here: http://www.paraview.org/files/v3.12/ - namely: http://www.paraview.org/files/v3.12/...-3.12.0.tar.gz

There shouldn't be any big differences between them, but sometimes downloading and unpacking packages fails in some point during the download or unpacking process, so it's either necessary to download the package again or unpack it again.

Will try it out and post results here ...
Thanks for the help.

The same error again. Attaching the log file with this mail.

Balkrishna.

OK, then lets try building a custom CMake with a more recent version:

1. Go into the ThirdParty folder, get a script for downloading the CMake source code and make it executable:
   Code:

   ---

   foam3rdParty
wget "http://www.openfoam.com/mantisbt/file_download.php?file_id=143&type=bug" -O getCmake
chmod +x get*

   ---

2. Build CMake:
   Code:

   ---

   ./getCmake
./makeCmake > mkcmake.log 2>&1

   ---

3. Update the shell environment:
   Code:

   ---

   wmSET

   ---

4. Confirm that you now have a different and more up-to-date version:
   Code:

   ---

   cmake --version

   ---

5. Try to build ParaView once again:
   Code:

   ---

   ./makeParaView > makePV.log 2>&1

   ---

Hopefully this will fix the problem!


Good luck!
Bruno

Thanks
 

I work with balkrishna, and thank you for your help in this.

You're both welcome! I'm glad I could help.

OF documentation
 

I'm just starting to learn OpenFOAM, but I can't find enough documentations.Could anybody help to pass the relevant resources to me?

Greetings!

@Sandip:
I've finally managed to reproduce the same problem you guys were and are having! I had to install Ubuntu 10.04 i686 on VirtualBox to achieve the same bug! I was using VMPlayer... not sure why that would make such a difference.

Anyway, after following my own suggestions/instructions, I noticed that on post #9 I forgot a line break on point #2! So, please follow once again the updated instructions from post #9!



@kebi112358:
Go to the link on my signature and start following the links starting from the line: "Finally, a few links for starting to use OpenFOAM".

Paraview and paraFoam not working
 

Thanks for the reply with your changes in #9 everything working fine for OpenFoam2.1.0
But if you follow the steps given at this link :
http://www.openfoam.org/download/source.php

OpenFoam2.0 is getting installed properly but not 2.1.0 version.
Anyway thanks for the information.

with regards,
sandip

Hi Sandip,

According to your description, my guess is that you have at least two OpenFOAM installations. If this is the case, then edit your "$HOME/.bashrc" file and change the following lines (this is an example):
To this:
Start a new terminal window/tab and run the respective alias command. For example, to have OpenFOAM 2.0.0 active in the terminal window/tab you've just opened, run:
Does this solve your problem? If not, I'll need a bit more information... otherwise I'll just be trying to guess what the problem might be :(

Bruno

Paraview and paraFoam not working
 

Hi ,
Thanks for the reply.
I am not saying 2.1.0 is not getting installed.
With your update to #9 , 2.1.0 is getting installed properly.
But with the steps written at link http://www.openfoam.org/download/source.php ,
OpenFoam 2.0.0 is getting installed properly , but paraview/paraFoam for 2.1.0 is not getting installed , this was just information i was sharing for somebody whoever is going to follow the steps at above link.

with regards.

Hi Sandip,

Thanks for clearing that up! Indeed, Ubuntu 10.04 is already becoming outdated, when it comes to modern software such as ParaView 3.12.0.

To complement your posts, the older instructions are available here: http://www.openfoam.org/download/archive.php
