Hi im new to OpenFOAM and I'm having some problem with Paraview. When i try to start it it always crashes and forces me to log out.
Im using Centos 6.4 with 64 bit system , x86_64 architecture, and i used this guide to install it. http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In....2/CentOS_SL_R The para view that was installed is "ParaView-3.12.0". I have only tried one tutorial with icoFOAM and everything seams to work until i write paraFoam. Then i begins to start up Paraview but then the program crash and my user is logged out. I have tried to open paraview on it own but i has the same problem, crash and log out. I have also tried to download and extract a later version of paraview "ParaView-4.1.0-Linux-64bit". It works fine but then i cant access my data from OpenFOAM. Thanks in advance Niklas Sorry for low info. I'm new to Linux if there is any more info you need please write how to get it and i will get it straight ahead. |

Greetings to all!
@Niklas: Your description indicates that the X.org manager crashes, which manages the desktop graphics. This usually means that the correct graphics card drivers are not installed, because ParaView requires some heavy-duty 3D graphics card capabilities... in other words, needs OpenGL. I suggest that you search online for information on how to install the official drivers for your graphics card for CentOS and/or RHEL. Best regards, Bruno

Thanks for the answers. I was a little bit restless and thought i had done something wrong during the installation and decided to reinstall the OS. Doing this i got some harddrive problem... Anyway thanks again for the answers too bad i cant test if that would have solved it.
After fixing my harddrive i decided to go for windows 8.1 with a virtial machine running centOS instead of dualbooting again. Now i got a new problem. When try to do step 12 in the installation guide I get these errors: Linking CXX static library libCTestLib.a [ 98%] Built target CTestLib make: *** [all] Error 2 real 0m26.133s user 1m23.468s sys 0m12.907s Error building: cmake-2.8.3 Any idea how to solve it? I use VMware Player and i installed CentOS 6.4. First thing after installing it i did a "yum update". edit* When that was done i tried to install Openfoam with this guide http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawik...itle=Main_Page I was able to intall all OpenFOAM applications but it compain on network connection when i tried to install OpenFOAM with this command line "python centFOAM.py --OF20". My network connection is working fine so guess there was something els that was disturbing it. So finally i followed this guide instead. http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...CentOS_SL_RHEL Could it be my first installation of OF aplications that is disturbing my new one? Thanks in advance Niklas |

Hi Niklas,
That's a strange error... I've tested just now on a virtual machine and I didn't get the same problem. OK, try running these commands: Code:
cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR ./makeCmake > makeCMake.log gzip makeCMake.log I ask this because I think there is something more before that error message, that could indicate the real reason for not being able to build CMake. edit: If you still want to install CentFOAM, read this post: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post475126 post #2 Best regards, Bruno
