[OpenFOAM.org] Missing file when compiling OpenFOAM from source

Philipp2201 · August 14, 2024, 09:51

I am trying to compile OpenFOAM-12 from Source on "AlmaLinux",
VERSION="8.8 (Sapphire Caracal)" using this guide: https://openfoam.org/download/source/
But at one point during wmake vtkPVblockMesh I get the following Error:

Code:

In file included from vtkPVblockMesh.C:27:
../PVblockMeshReader/vtk/vtkPVblockMeshReader.h:42:10: fatal error: vtkMultiBlockDataSetAlgorithm.h: No such file or directory
 #include "vtkMultiBlockDataSetAlgorithm.h"

Where did I messed up during the installation? I already had paraview installed prior.

Thank you very much!

Hello,

I encountered the same error (on Debian 12). Installing the VTK header files (libvtk9-dev) solved this issue for me.

Best wishes
