I have downloaded OpenFOAM OpenFOAM-2.4.0.tgz and Third-Party ThirdParty-2.4.0.tgz and installed as per the procedure given in Source pack installation on ubuntu 15.04.

I could run the openfoam but couldnt run paraFoam in the cavity problem

the error coming is something like this

FATAL ERROR: ParaView reader module libraries do not exist

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


and i did what it said like ./Allwclean and ./Allwmake was done but the same problem repeated
Please suggest me what to do inorder to run paraFoam

Can you build ParaView okay? I am getting the same error because ParaView will not build:

[ 14%] Building CXX object VTK/Rendering/OpenGL/CMakeFiles/vtkRenderingOpenGL.dir/vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx.o

Thank you very munch.
Finally I found something that works (after hours of fruitless seach!)


I'm using a virtual machine (VirtualBox 5)
host: windows 7 (64 bit)
guest: debian 8 "Jessie"

I was trying to build OpenFOAM-2.4.0 from Source.
I followed the official instructions: http://www.openfoam.org/download/source.php.

In the Third-Party-2.4.0 folder ./makeParaView4 created the same error message as mentioned above.
