Hello All,

I was attempting to get Paraview 4.1.0 to compile with MPI plus Python support on ubuntu 12.04 64 bit. I am able to compile Paraview 4.1.0 with only MPI support or with only python support, but it fails when I try to have both. The error that it complains about is an undefined reference to a few dlopen functions right when it is building mpi4py modules. I am currently waiting for it to compile again with the additional
Code:
CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS='-ldl'
but i have little faith this will work.
  • Has anyone else successfully built paraview 4.1.0 with openMPI plus PYTHON support in Ubutnu 12.04? OpenMPI is build with static disabled using the standard build scripts in OpenFOAM.
I'm currently using the makeParaview script that is included in OpenFOAM to get me started....but this is not a requirement.

Hi,
did you find a solution to the problem?

I'm having the same problem right now for openSUSE. The build for 12.2 (openmpi 1.5.4) works, the one for 13.1 (openmpi 1.7.2) fails with the same error. :/
Code:
[  870s] CMakeFiles/mpi4py.MPI.dir/src/MPI.c.o: In function `OPENMPI_dlopen_libmpi':
[  870s] MPI.c:(.text+0x6eb1): undefined reference to `dlopen'

[  870s] MPI.c:(.text+0x6ee3): undefined reference to `dlopen'
[  870s] MPI.c:(.text+0x6ef9): undefined reference to `dlopen'

I brought up the topic on the paraview mailing-list:
http://www.paraview.org/pipermail/pa...ry/030484.html

A quick-and-dirty workaround is also given there, and hopefully the developers will come up with a proper fix.

@Armin: Many thanks for reporting this!

For future readers, here are the steps for quickly patching the source code for fixing this issue:
Code:
cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/ParaView-4.1.0
wget http://www.paraview.org/pipermail/paraview/attachments/20140210/464496cc/attachment.bin -O Fix.patch
patch -p1 < Fix.patch
cd ..
then proceed with running makeParaView4 with the same options as used before.
The file downloaded by wget is given here: http://www.paraview.org/pipermail/pa...ry/030517.html

Hi All,

I am trying to compile paraview - along with OpenFOAM - with the Python support. Which is the option I have to use, during the compilation?

Thanks a lot,
Samuele.

Here are the options I use to build the openSUSE packages with MPI and python support:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/v...araview41.spec

On openSUSE these are "1 click install" packages:

This is my makeParaview4 file:

Code:
# USER OPTIONS:
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

# MPI support:
withMPI=false
MPI_MAX_PROCS=4

# Python support:
# note: script will try to determine the appropriate python library.
#       If it fails, specify the path using the PYTHON_LIBRARY variable
withPYTHON=true
# PYTHON_LIBRARY=""
PYTHON_LIBRARY="/usr/lib/libpython2.7.so.1.0"

# MESA graphics support:
withMESA=false
MESA_INCLUDE="/usr/include/GL"
MESA_LIBRARY="/usr/lib64/libOSMesa.so"

# extra QT gui support (useful for some third party apps)
withQT=true

# Set the path to the Qt-4.5 (or later) qmake if the system Qt is older
QMAKE_PATH=""

# Set the path to cmake
CMAKE_PATH=""
and this is the error I get:

Code:

Greetings to all!

@Samuele: If I'm not mistaken, on Debian you need to install the package "python-dev":
Code:
sudo apt-get install python-dev
Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,

I tried to build ParaView on centos 7 and met the same problem in #1. I tried your method in #4. But it still won't work and gives an error like:

CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND. Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files: MPI_EXTRA_LIBRARY (ADVANCED)

Sorry, I completely forgot about this. And I managed to test things and write detailed instructions here: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...HEL#CentOS_7.0

Could you tell us how to progress with OF1612+?
The same problem arises when installing paraview 5.0.1.
