Installation problem with ParaView 3.8.0 on openSUSE 11.2

Hello everyone,
Being a newbie in Linux I am trying to install Openfoam-ParaView. I would be grateful to a forum member who could provide me with a hint to solve a problem with ParaView 3.8.0 installation. (Even having realised from several web pages that it's about a well-known problem for beginners and a number of tipps have been offered, I didn't manage to overcome it). The following list of details applies to my case: Toshiba A100-192 (purchased in 2006) Linux 2.6.31.12-0.2-default i686 openSUSE 11.2 (i586) (download from www.openfoam.com on 8 July 2010) 4.3.5 (KDE 4.3.5) "release 0" cmake version 2.6-patch 4 Using Qt version 4.5.3 in /usr/lib flex 2.5.35 After downloading OpenFOAM-1.7.0.gtgz and ThirdParty-1.7.0.gtgz I installed OpenFOAM following the procedure described at albertopassalacqua.com and using the instructions for environment variable settings given at openfoam.com/download/source.php. I consider that the installation of OpenFOAM-1.7.0 was nearly effortless and successful. ================================================== ===================== In order to install ParaView 3.8.0 I executed the commands:
Unfortunately, the following information was printed on screen: WARNINGWarning: You are using Qt 4.5.3. Officially supported version is Qt 4.6 [ 15%] Compiling Qt help project paraview.qhp /bin/sh: QT_HELP_GENERATOR-NOTFOUND: Kommando nicht gefunden. make[2]: *** [Documentation/paraview.qch] Fehler 127 make[1]: *** [Documentation/CMakeFiles/ParaViewOnlineHelp.dir/all] Fehler 2 make[1]: *** Warte auf noch nicht beendete Prozesse... . . . [ 16%] Built target vtkFiltering make: *** [all] Fehler 2 and the 'making' procedure must have been interrupted. The following 'Installing ParaView' procedure gave at about 99% warnings such as: /home/menkat/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.7.0/paraview-3.8.0/Plugins/H5PartReader/H5Part/src/H5Part.c:103: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to ‘char*’ /home/menkat/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.7.0/paraview-3.8.0/Plugins/H5PartReader/H5Part/src/H5Part.c: In function ‘H5PartFile* H5PartOpenFile(const char*, unsigned int)’: and ended with: [ 99%] Built target NIfTIWriter [ 99%] Built target GenerateParaViewQHP [ 99%] Compiling Qt help project paraview.qhp /bin/sh: QT_HELP_GENERATOR-NOTFOUND: Kommando nicht gefunden. make[2]: *** [Documentation/paraview.qch] Fehler 127 make[1]: *** [Documentation/CMakeFiles/ParaViewOnlineHelp.dir/all] Fehler 2 make: *** [all] Fehler 2 --- Installation complete for paraview-3.8.0 Set environment variables: export ParaView_DIR=/home/menkat/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.7.0/platforms/linuxGcc/paraview-3.8.0 export PATH=$ParaView_DIR/bin:$PATH export PV_PLUGIN_PATH=$FOAM_LIBBIN/paraview-3.8 (no other errors were encountered). I attach the relevant make_paraview.log.gz file ================================================== ===================== Testing the case proposed in openfoam.com/download/source.php I consider that blockMesh and icoFoam operated successfully while paraFoam gave created temporary 'cavity.OpenFOAM' /home/menkat/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.0/bin/paraFoam: Zeile 132: paraview: Kommando nicht gefunden. Has anybody encountered such a problem under these circumstances and if so which is a possible remedy? So far: I think that my machine/linux distro is of 32-architecture so I turned the '64' value to '32' in : ${WM_ARCH_OPTION:=64}; export WM_ARCH_OPTION, as has been proposed in cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam/74172-new-user-needs-help.html, #6.
I hope my lengthy post isn't much annoying. Thank you! |

Greetings Menandros and welcome to the forum!
Your thorough post with all of the necessary information for us to help you is very welcome I can only wish more people who have trouble with installing OpenFOAM would do the same! I personally haven't built ParaView 3.8.0 yet, but I've been keeping up-to-date with the information that people have been posting on this forum. Apparently the missing package to be installed in OpenSUSE is libQtWebKit-devel. If you check Alberto's blog for OpenSUSE 11.3 (here), you will see that he has already added that package to the list of packages to be installed! And yes, you are correct, your "openSUSE 11.2 (i586)" is 32bit As for: Quote:
If you get tired of going around building ParaView and Qt and not getting anywhere fast, then I suggest following the steps in this post: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post266767 (Mental note: I gotta find some time to consolidate those steps into a single post...) Good luck! Best regards, Bruno

Hi Bruno,
I would like to thank you for your almost instant reply and detailed information you gave also concerning my question. I think we all beginners here in openFOAM-ParaView are grateful for your patience, solidarity and knowledge. I had already downloaded libQtWebKit-devel suggesting that was a missing item but that didn't solve my problem. Does an 'already built' version of ParaView for openSUSE exist? Could you suggest me a site with the relevant procedure of installing? A site with a way of installing a version of Qt as 4.6.x in a 'local' folder would be helpful to me (the relevant guidance sites cited in cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam/74172-new-user-needs-help.html, #6 probably don't exist anymore): e.g. I downloaded qt-x11-opensource-src-4.3.5.tar.bz2 but didn't manage to execute './makeQt'. (I hope also that an already installed version of Qt can be uninstalled via YAST2.) I' ll also try to contact Alberto as seems sure about his tips for these particular versions of openSUSE and OpenFoam. Many thanks, Menandros |

Hi Bruno,
following the neat procedure you suggest (what exactly do you mean by 'activate the OpenFOAM environment if not already active'?), I managed lastly to open paraView giving the 'paraFoam' command! But contrary to the previous situation where I hadn't use the 'already built' version of ParaView 3.8.0., I cannot now run blockMesh e.g. for the cavity tutorial. That's what emerges: ------------------------------------------------------------------- blockMesh: /home/menkat/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.7.0/platforms/linuxGcc/paraview-3.8.0/lib/paraview-3.8/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by blockMesh) blockMesh: /home/menkat/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.7.0/platforms/linuxGcc/paraview-3.8.0/lib/paraview-3.8/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.11' not found (required by blockMesh) etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------- and respectively for icoFoam: icoFoam: /home/menkat/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.7.0/platforms/linuxGcc/paraview-3.8.0/lib/paraview-3.8/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by icoFoam) icoFoam: /home/menkat/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.7.0/platforms/linuxGcc/paraview-3.8.0/lib/paraview-3.8/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.11' not found (required by icoFoam) etc. ============================================== (executing 'foamInstallationTest' gives: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Checking basic setup... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shell: bash Host: linux-7com OS: Linux version 2.6.31.12-0.2-default ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Checking main OpenFOAM env variables... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Environment_variable Set_to_file_or_directory Valid Crit ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR /home/menkat/OpenFOAM yes yes $WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR /home/menkat/OpenFOAM/menkat-1.7.0 yes no $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR /home/menkat/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.7.0 yes yes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Checking the OpenFOAM env variables set on the PATH... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Environment_variable Set_to_file_or_directory Valid Path Crit ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $WM_PROJECT_DIR /home/menkat/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.0 yes yes yes $FOAM_APPBIN ...1.7.0/applications/bin/linuxGccDPOpt yes yes yes $FOAM_SITE_APPBIN ...penFOAM/site/1.7.0/bin/linuxGccDPOpt no no $FOAM_USER_APPBIN ...1.7.0/applications/bin/linuxGccDPOpt yes yes no $WM_DIR ...menkat/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.0/wmake yes yes yes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Checking the OpenFOAM env variables set on the LD_LIBRARY_PATH... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Environment_variable Set_to_file_or_directory Valid Path Crit ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $FOAM_LIBBIN ...OAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.0/lib/linuxGccDPOpt yes yes yes $FOAM_SITE_LIBBIN ...penFOAM/site/1.7.0/lib/linuxGccDPOpt no no $FOAM_USER_LIBBIN ...nFOAM/menkat-1.7.0/lib/linuxGccDPOpt no no $MPI_ARCH_PATH ...7.0/platforms/linuxGcc/openmpi-1.4.1 no yes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Third party software ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Software Version Location ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- gcc 4.4.1 /usr/bin/gcc gzip 1.3.12 /usr/bin/gzip tar 1.21 /bin/tar icoFoam .../OpenFOAM-1.7.0/applications/bin/linuxGccDPOpt/icoFoam ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Base configuration ok. Critical systems ok. done. ------------------------------------------------------------------- ) (Uninstalling that 'already built' version of PV, blockMesh and icoFoam operated successfully again, but of course paraView command again 'could not be found'.) I searched for posts about 'missing GLIBCXX_3.4.9 and GLIBCXX_3.4.11' and I suppose that the 'already built' version of PV 3.8.0 is accompanied by an older version of gcc compiler than that of openSUSE 11.2 / OpenFOAM 1.7.0 and that my system is obligated to use that. Could you please suggest a remedy? (I am wondering if using Ubuntu things become easier). Thank you, Menandros |

Hello,
I had the same problem and resolved it by installing libqt4-devel-doc Markus |

Thank you Markus for your hint.
Sorry for an unrelated topic stated here but after 14 days with openSUSE 11.2, the error message "Call to lnusertemp failed {temporary directories full?}. Check your installation." appeared on login. So I couldn't login as usually, but only as root. Even after deleting the (no hidden) files at /tmp, the problem is still there. After installed libqt4-devel-doc as root, I tried to test blockMesh, icoFoam, paraFoam but all these commands 'were not found'. If only someone had time to post a remedy... |

the installation of libqt4-devel-doc helps with the paraview-compilation-error mentioned in your first thread. Apart from that there seems to be a error with your installation. Check "df -h" if your /home is not full. Markus |

Hello,
sorry that was my first idea - but there seems to be enough space in your home partition. You have to use Google to find a solution. Regards, Markus. |

Markus,
Vielen Dank für deine Rückmeldung. Nachdem ich die openSUSE 11.2 wiederinstalliert hatte, ist ja das Problem mit 'lnusertemp' gelöst worden und ich kann mich als 'menkat' einloggen. Dass ich keinen Zugriff zu den 'blockMesh', 'icoFoam', 'paraFoam' als root hatte, meine ich, dass es daran liegen muss, dass ich OpenFOAM nicht in /usr/local/ installiert hatte, sondern in /home/menkat. Jedoch habe ich Angst davor, dass die Meldung "Call to lnusertemp failed {temporary directories full?}. Check your installation." wieder auftritt. Gibt es keinen Tipp darüber? Grüße Menandros |

After reinstalling openSUSE 11.2 and taking care for:
1. C/C++ development pattern in YaST2 2. cmake 3. libqt4-devel 4. libqt4-devel-doc (markusrehm's suggestion) 5. flex 6. (maybe helped) libQtWebKit-devel (wyldckat's suggestion) I succeeded in installing openFOAM 1.7.0 and ParaView 3.8.0 following the instructions at http://albertopassalacqua.com/?cat=6 (basically identical to these at http://www.openfoam.com/download/source.php) (I didn't use the 'already built' version for ParaView 3.8.0, but simply unpacked the files out from ThirdParty-1.7.0.gtgz). Concerning 'cavity' tutorial, 'blockMesh', 'icoFoam', 'paraFoam' worked! But another problem came about: opening ParaView 3.8.0 via paraFoam and using 'OpenFOAM' as the 'reader', the machine freezes after some actions. Maybe I should try PV3blockMeshReader and PV3FoamReader, as stated at the above sites. |

Hi Menandros,
AFAIK, Paraview/Linux freezing can happen due to at least three possibilities:
There is at least two fixes for the graphic card drivers:

Hi Bruno,
Following your tip, I have been trying to become familiar with OpenFOAM/Paraview some days now. After installing openSUSE 11.3 the problem with my graphic card was over (thanks to the updated 'radeon' driver). I wish that also other people take advantage of the list of the actions/tips mentioned in this thread. Other than that, I think that openSUSE 11.3, compared to 11.2 succeeds in keeping my laptop's temperature at a significantly lower level, even 'suspend to RAM' does work! Best regards, Menandros |
