Running either paraview or paraFoam crashes immediately after entering the command line. It seems to launch paraview, showing the paraview logo in a split of second. But it crashes instantly and even logs me off! I'll appreciate if anyone can enlighten me with any clue to what's happening and trouble-shooting.

I should've said I'm using OpenFOAM 1.3 along with paraview 2.4.3.

I had a similar problem on ubuntu dapper drake 64bit and several versions of paraview. posted but no replies yet. see

It is a resource problem but since there is enough memory (512Mb) I suspect this might be the compiling options of paraview. doesn't seem to be connected to foam since it runs just fine in 64bit, so probably have to recompile...

I tried to rebuild paraview. But I got the following error while trying to compile. Has anybody seen this before? I don't quite understand why the linker bothers with /usr/lib/libGL.so? I thought it should look for /usr/lib64/libGL.so, as my CMakeCache.txt file says.

how about linking /usr/lib/libGL.so temporarily to /usr/lib64/libGL.so? just for building paraview. you can reset the links after. might solve your problem.
