[OpenFOAM.com] Paraview cmake error

jormollo · January 11, 2018, 10:09

Hi!
I am trying to install Paraview using Openfoam v1706 and Thirdparty v1706, but when I run the command ./makeParaview I get the following error,

-- Looking for shmat - found
-- Looking for IceConnectionNumber in ICE
-- Looking for IceConnectionNumber in ICE - found
-- Found X11: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so
CMake Error at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/Qt5/Qt5Config.cmake:26 (find_package):
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5X11Extras" with
any of the following names:

qt5x11extras-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "Qt5X11Extras" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"Qt5X11Extras_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If
"Qt5X11Extras" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it
has been installed.

Could you help me, please?
Thanks,

Hi,

You just need to install package, which provides Qt5X11ExtrasConfig.cmake (or qt5x11extras-config.cmake). Depending on your Linux distribution it can be qt5-qtx11extras-devel, or libqt5x11extras5-dev, or something else.

QT needs various X11 things like libICE-devel, libX11-devel etc.
I've recently have issues with font-config as well (eg, https://github.com/spack/spack/issues/6685)

Make sure that your makeQT script also uses the -qt-xcb option inside.
I've been able to compile qt5 successfully on opensuse 42.3, but my
coworker has been struggling with his older redhat system.

Thanks both a lot! I installed the extra libraries and tried both options and now I'm having the following problem:

-- Protobuf: doing try-compiles for hash map/set headers
-- Protobuf: doing try-compiles for pthread test
CMake Error at CMake/ParaViewQt.cmake:65 (find_package):
Could not find a configuration file for package "Qt5" that is compatible
with requested version "5.6".

The following configuration files were considered but not accepted:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/Qt5/Qt5Config.cmake, version: 5.5.1
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/Qt5/Qt5Config.cmake, version: 5.5.1

How could I fix it?

Well, you have got several choices:

- Manually compile QT 5.6.
- Maybe QT 5.6 is in updates/separate repo of your Linux distribution.
- Use ParaView from packages of your distribution (maybe it wont be 5.4.1, yet, do you really need this exact version?).

It would be easier if you disclose name of your Linux distribution, since further advices could depend on it.

Hi,
I tried to manually compile QT 5.6 and provide the path to the paraview installation but I did not succeed. Finally, I installed paraview 5.0.1 perfectly since I really don't need paraview 5.4.1. I was using Ubuntu 16.04.
Thanks a lot for all your help!
Jorge.
