The following is what I get when trying to follow the README to a tee. This is a squeaky clean ubuntu install. Any advice greatly recommended. I already tried the 'sudo apt-get libqt4-dev' successfully, as appeared to be the solution in another thread.

I instaled OpenFOAM-1.5 on a PC running CentOS-5.1. I got a problem with paraView too. I reinstalled the cmake package and Qt-4.3.5 to fix the problem. It seems that paraView does not work with Qt-4.3.1.
Good luck!

It looks like something in this sequence fixed it.

i.e.

sudo apt-get install gcc
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.2 ... and so on

gcc
gcc-4.2
gcc-4.2-base
libqt-4-core
libqt-4-debug
libqt-4-dev
libqt-4-gui
libqt-4-qt3support
libqt-4-sql
libqthreads-12
libmpfr-dev

if you are going to compile paraview in ubuntu, make sure you have those two packages, just search for them in synaptic:

libmpfr-dev

libmpfr1|dbl

My issue with compiling paraView is slightly different. The OS is ubuntu 8.04 and I have a correct version of qmake

QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.3.4 in /usr/lib

Here is the error that I get when I try to build paraView

~/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty$ buildParaView3.3-cvs

I am new to using Linux and have gotten to this point in the installation of OF 1.5 using the README notes and trying the suggestions in this forum. Any ideas as to why the cmake command is not being found would be much appreciated.

Hi John,
You can check out the below post and I must say the installation in Ubuntu 8.04 is much easier than any other OS. you just have to follow a different procedure before building ParaView3.3-cvs. Fine and let me know if any problem.

Hi Rishi

Thanks for your reply. I ve gone through the procedure (including not executing the rm -rf ParaView3.3-cvs/platforms command) as well as updating the bashrc file, but am getting the following reply when I execute the ccmake command:

john@john-laptop:~/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty$ ccmake $HOME/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/ParaView3.3-cvs
bash: /home/john/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/cmake-2.4.6/platforms/linux64/bin/ccmake: No such file or directory

The comment "No such file or directory" does not make sense to me, since there is an executable file named ccmake in the /home/john/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/cmake-2.4.6/platforms/linux64/bin/ folder

Thanks, John

Hi John,
I suppose you must check out whether cmake or make is installed in the system using the synaptic manager. It is a possibility that it tries to run ccmake in the OpenFOAM directory and the cmake in the system to find out the system settings. Pl. try that out because its given in that paraview-wiki site, they load and install ccmake before setting ccmake. But UBUNTU has ccmake in synaptic (if not check it out in install and remove software). Fine try it and let me know if any problem.

Bye
Rishi.

Hi Rishi

Success. Thanks for your advice. The breakthrough occurred when I used the script in the following post: http://www.cfd-online.com/OpenFOAM_D...tml?1222736035

I also had to change the mention of cmake 2.4.6 to 2.4.7 (which is the version that is included now with Ubuntu 8.04) in the bashrc file in the OpenFoam-1.5/etc/apps/paraview folder.
