Hey everyone!


I had to switch my OpenFOAM-7 version to OpenFOAM-dev(from GitHub) in order to be able to use the new comfort-functionObject.



After I got OpenFOAM-dev successfully to run, I was not able to start-up ParaView anymore. After troubleshooting and trying several different methods to install and compile ThirdParty-dev and OpenFOAM-dev, I was still not able to run ParaView. OpenFOAM-dev, on the other hand, is working just fine.



Lastly, I followed all instructions from this guide:


https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...u#Ubuntu_18.04


Although ParaView was successfully installed, using the command

./makeParaView -python -mpi -python-lib /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1.0 > log.makePV 2>&1

Paraview shows a black screen at startup. (typing "paraview" in the terminal)

Evaluating the log-file gives me this error message:

Version information
    qt        5.9.5
    version   5.6.0
    major     5.6
    build     Release
MISMATCH!
    specified 5.6.0
    found

I am using VNC Viewer(from my Windows10-laptop) to access the Ubuntu device for my simulation.
I am using Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS bionic (No LSB modules are available).
"uname -m" shows "x86_64".

Using the above Installation Guide above for point 9.1, I only changed

cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR export QT_SELECT=qt4

to

cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR export QT_SELECT=qt5

.

Also, attached please find my log-file alongside this thread.
As the whole log file was too big, I chose to delete several lines in between(is marked).
log.makePV.txt

Does anybody have any ideas what might be causing ParaView to stop working like that?

I would very much appretiate your help!
