After installing paraview and openfoam on Mac OS X 10.13,they can run well seperately. After the calculation of openfoam,I type the command 'paraFoam', libGL error shows up.
The errors are as following:

libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

I tried to figure it out by typing the following command when openfoam is running and then got a failed result :

ln -s /Applications/Paraview-5.4.0.app/Contents/MacOS/paraview $WM_PROJECT_DIR/bin/paraview
ln: failed to create symbolic link 'opt/openfoam5/bin/paraview':Permission denied

Need your help! I am very appreciated!

Quick questions:

1. Which installation instructions have you followed?
2. If you are using Docker, what (complete) command did you use to launch the command line access to OpenFOAM?

The answers are as following:
1.I followed the instructions on https://openfoam.org
2.the command is openfoam5-macos -p

I tested my libGL and got information as following:

OpenFOAM-5.0(511) LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxgears
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/tls/swrast_dri.so
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/swrast_dri.so
libGL: Can't open configuration file /home/openfoam/.drirc: No such file or directory.
libGL: Can't open configuration file /home/openfoam/.drirc: No such file or directory.
libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GLXCreateContext)

It seems that there isn't a file named ".drirc" under the directory "/home/openfoam".
But where can i get this file?

That is a settings file that you can create yourself as a text file, which should have the correct commands inside it in order to provide a different driver definition to be used for OpenGL rendering...
However, I don't know if anything written on that file would work in this specific situation.

There was a bug report on this topic several weeks ago, where additional information is provided there on how you can solve or at least work around this problem. See the following report and comments therein: https://bugs.openfoam.org/view.php?id=2704
