[Other] Problem in Open foam installation in ubuntu 14.04

zannatul · October 31, 2014, 20:01

I used the following link for OpenFoam installation:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkLgwm64jGI

In the last step of the installation when i typed paraFoam the following message appears in my terminal:

"FATAL ERROR: ParaView reader module libraries do not exist

Please build the reader module before continuing:
cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV4Readers
./Allwclean
./Allwmake"

I am a new user of Ubuntu and Openfoam. I have already followed some blog regarding this issue but as i am new in this environment those were beyond of my understanding. Please help me to figure out this problem asap. Thank you.
