[OpenFOAM.com] ParaView installation fails on google compute engine

saiSharath · March 16, 2017, 16:24

Hello Foamers

I'm trying to setup OpenFOAM on google compute engine platform.

I'm able to complete all the steps as per OpenFOAM website but the ./makeParaView stops right after the configuration and prints the following

-- Configuring done
-- Generating done
-- Build files have been written to: /home/sai/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-v1612+/build/linux64Gcc/ParaView-5.0.1
Starting make
./makeParaView: 407: ./makeParaView: time: not found

the error itself isn't much descriptive so I'm having trouble trying to find a solution for this.

to give more details
I have
python 2.7.9
cmake verion is 3.0.2
qt4( I ont have much idea about this but I've executed this "sudo apt-get install qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev libqt4-opengl-dev freeglut3-dev libqtwebkit-dev "

Any help would be much appreciated.

Quick answer: The application time is not installed in the Linux instance that you are using.
You either need to install that application or run the following commands to remove the call to that command:

Code:

cd $WM_PROJECT_DIR
sed -i -e 's=time ==' etc/tools/ParaViewFunctions

I haven't used Google's compute engine platform, so I don't know which Linux Distribution they use in it as a base installation, so I don't know what commands can be used to install time.

I have been looking for the solution for this on my system on and off for months. ParaView is finally compiling!

Thanks, Gerry.
