Hi Wulonglong,
I didn't succeeded with newest Ubuntu 18.04, but I solved the problem by installing Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and using VTK 6.3.0 directly as it is used in the install script.

Hi Ekscel,

My Ubuntu version is also 16.04 LTS and I am using OpenFoam-ext4.0 (Can Hexblocker install in extend version?)

Also I tried to install in OpenFoam5 but it failed again..
My OpenFoam5 is pure, it doesn't run any case yet.

Did you modify any thing ?
or just following the code in #1 ? (I run the code step by step.)

Best Regards
Wu

Hi all,

this is not a problem related to the application of Nicola, it is related to your system. As I don´t have the issue, please search for:

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "VTK" with any of
  the following names

And you probably will find the answer on stackexchange.

Hi
I got the same error messages like Ekscel ...
I hope I can remember correctly, but this ist how I made it as an novice under ubuntu 16.04:
- clone git repo
- let install.sh download vtk & abort with error

- install everything that sound like qt4*; also libqtwebkit* (I don'tknow if this is really necessary, but after I did that, it worked..)
- ccmake in build/VTK/ with the options stated in install.sh
- make -j 4

- sudo make install


at this stage vtk seemed to be installed


rerun ./install.sh and it worked!


I'm not sure what I did differently than the script.... I tried lots of commands. I hope I could help someone here


regards

Hi Foamers!


i succeeded the installation of this, thus i'll introduce the point of the method.

first of all, three additional packages (gcc-, g++-4.8 and qt4-default) were installed in the present system,
and then gcc-4.8 (g++-4.8) were made update for default compiler.

secondly, the line 42 in hexBlocker/install.sh was edited the according below:

QMAKE=$(which qmake) to QMAKE=$(which qmake-qt4).

(Some users would change the L38 and L39 additionally).

finally, execute the shell script (./install.sh) for installation.
After a certain period time, all the installations would have been successful if the terminal echo the message 'exit 0'.

change the directory to hexBlocker/bin, then hit the following command:

$ ./HexBlocker

but the terminal echos the according below:

./HexBlocker: error while loading shared libraries: libvtkRenderingVolume-6.3.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

This linker error will be understood with the following command:

$ ldd HexBlocker

some libraries are not found in the present environment.
so I corresponded to this error by adding link path and alias to $HOME/.bashr.

best of luck!
(my system: ubuntu18.04, gcc-4.8, of41, of1812)
