compile error at AllMake.stage4

System: Ubuntu Kylin 14.04.3 64bit
foam: foam-extend 3.2

What I did was following the file step by step.
/home/lyl1s2/foam/foam-extend-3.2/doc/buildInstructions/Ubuntu/Ubuntu_14.04

CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:

The same error occurred when I was installing OpenFOAM 3.0.1 with python activated.
/home/lyl1s2/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-3.0.1/makeParaView4

# Python support:
# note: script will try to determine the appropriate python library.
#       If it fails, specify the path using the PYTHON_LIBRARY variable
withPYTHON=true
PYTHON_LIBRARY="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1.0"
# PYTHON_LIBRARY="/usr/lib64/libpython2.6.so.1.0"

The compiling process would be sucessed only if python characteristic was turned off.
/home/lyl1s2/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-3.0.1/makeParaView4

# Python support:

#       If it fails, specify the path using the PYTHON_LIBRARY variable
withPYTHON=false
PYTHON_LIBRARY=""
# PYTHON_LIBRARY="/usr/lib64/libpython2.6.so.1.0"

Is there something wrong about my operation?

Thanks in advance.

Greetings shuoxue,

There is a glitch in the build scripts in foam-extend 3.2, regarding the Python libraries. I haven't managed yet to commit a bug fix for it... I know I wrote some instructions on how to build ParaView in foam-extend 3.1 with Python support, let me go look for it... OK, I found it: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post528019 - post #3, problem is that it's for ParaView 4.0.1 and not 4.3.1.


As for OpenFOAM 3.0.1, check the instructions given here: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...u#Ubuntu_14.04 - In step #9 you will see how to build ParaView 4.4.0 with the Python and MPI features.
Although... can you please check if the file exists? Run this command:

ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1.0

Best regards,
Bruno
