OpenFOAM and FoamX run fine. But paraFoam crashes. Can someone please suggest a workaround?

I have paraFoam here running on CentOS 4.3 (which is essentially RHEL) without problems. In my experience it's more difficult to get FoamX to run without problems.

Could you supply us with a more detailed description of the crash?

(One of the main reasons for crashing paraFoams - in my experience - are old paraview installations. But that's really the best guess I can give you)

Both paraview and paraFoam downloaded with OpenFOAM 1.3 crash immediately without any error messages after showing the paraview logo in a split of second. It even logs me off!

I tried to recompile paraview, but ran into another problem, which appears to be due to the compatibility issue (gcc 4.1.0 and /usr/bin/ld) discussed somewhere in the message board.

That sounds heavy. With "log off" you mean that the X-Server crashes?

Some things come to mind (but none of them a solution):
- try the original binary from www.paraview.org (make sure with 'which paraview' that you are using the right one). If that crashes too, the OpenFOAM-paraview isn't guilty.
- have you ever used a OpenGL-application on that machine?

I'd think that the problem is somewhere in the X-Server/OpenGL/GraphicCard-Driver-complex

That's right. The X-server crashes and I need to relogin. The binary downloaded from the paraview website crashes exactly like the one from OpenCFD.

Then I'm afraid you'll have to check with the paraview-mailing list.

Just one idea (but I've never tried it, therefor don't know if it works and I can't check due to a lack of a crashing paraview ;) ): starting paraview with (assuming you're using the bash)

nohup >/tmp/paraviews_last_words 2>&1 paraview &

might(!) give you the last output of paraview that usually goes to the terminal (which might(!) show the reason for crashing).

Hello Bernhard
It indeed gives diagnostics that sounds serious.
Thanks for your suggestion.

Hello Bernhard,

Thanks for pointing me to the right direction. Your comments help me trouble-shoot the Xterm/OpenGL problem. The grahics card driver turned out to be faulty. Thanks again for your help.
