Dear Openfoam users,

I have installed the ubuntu dev package using the instructions from the OpenFOAM website. However, now I want to use pvpython and every time I get an error: ImportError: No module named vtkCommonPython. I read somewhere that this is due to the fact that I installed the deb package. However, since I already installed OpenFoam-2.2.2 I cannot install it again from source, right?

Any ideas on how I could get pvpython to work?

Thanks!

By the way, I am running Ubuntu 12.04.

Dear Bruno,

Thank you very much I can know run pvpython from the terminal and do some examples. However when I use the trace option in Paraview and then try to run that script through pvpython, I keep getting this error:

 Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-close.c: 759: _dl_close: Assertion `map->l_init_called' failed!

Did I do something wrong or is the installation not correct?

By the way, this is the script I am trying to run:

try: paraview.simple
except: from paraview.simple import *
paraview.simple._DisableFirstRenderCameraReset()

allPatches_100_vtk = LegacyVTKReader( FileNames=['/home/CFD/Documents/motorBike/VTK/allPatches/allPatches_100.vtk'] )

track0_p_k_vtk = LegacyVTKReader( FileNames=['/home/CFD/Documents/motorBike/postProcessing/sets/wallBoundedStreamLines/100/track0_p_k.vtk'] )

RenderView1 = GetRenderView()
SetActiveSource(allPatches_100_vtk)
DataRepresentation2 = Show()
DataRepresentation2.EdgeColor = [0.0, 0.0, 0.5000076295109483]

RenderView1.CenterOfRotation = [0.7296143770217896, -0.008860617876052856, 0.6756079792976379]

SetActiveSource(track0_p_k_vtk)
DataRepresentation3 = Show()
DataRepresentation3.EdgeColor = [0.0, 0.0, 0.5000076295109483]

WriteImage('/home/CFD/Documents/motorBike/test1.png')


RenderView1.CameraPosition = [0.7296143770217896, -0.008860617876052856, 5.586333373144778]
RenderView1.CameraFocalPoint = [0.7296143770217896, -0.008860617876052856, 0.6756079792976379]
RenderView1.CameraClippingRange = [3.5171582611063688, 6.676784262895431]
RenderView1.CameraParallelScale = 1.270989257196217

Render()

Kind regards

Hi maero21,

I didn't read carefully your post the other day and didn't answer to this question:

You can have both installations if you want to. You can find instructions on this topic here: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...nFOAM_versions

I vaguely remember getting that message when ParaView was closing... which was already too late to be of any matter, since I had already used ParaView with success.

According to this post: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post364741 post #3, removing the package "qt-at-spi" might fix the problem:

sudo apt-get remove qt-at-spi

By the way, do you have Ubuntu 12.04 x86_64 or i686 installed? You can check by running:

uname -m

Bruno
