VTK errors in ParaFOAM on OpenFOAM14

stevemchale · August 29, 2007, 12:51

Hi All,

I've installed all the OpenFOAM-1.4 binaries, but I can't get paraview to load the data files. If someone could translate these errors for me I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Use the paraview provided with OpenFOAM.

Hi Steve!

Looks like you're using 2.6.2, but there are still some 2.4 libraries in the Library path (libvtkGraphics.so.pv2.4). You've got an old installation, that is interfering with the other one? (or maybe it is the other way round)

Any ideas as to solutions? One way or the other? I'm relatively new at this, so I appreciate your help guys. Thanks.

Really can't help you unless you exactly tell us what procedure you followed for installation of OpenFOAM.

Hi Steve!

Check with 'which paraview' whether you are actually using the Paraview-version distributed with OpenFOAM (I don't think so). The problem you are seeing usually comes from another paraview-installation that 'shadows' the OpenFOAM-paraview, usually because it is found before that in the PATH or the LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Either change those variables or get rid of the other installation
