Hi Bruno,

Thanks a lot, it works!

Then start a new terminal and you should now be able to use paraFoam without any problems.

Dear Bruno,

I got the same problem with paraFoam command that Sita posted @19

Dear Bruno,

Sorry, this is probably a very old thread, but I have a similar problem. Upon starting paraFoam, I get the same error message (read float past end of buffer), but then I just get to choose the "OpenFOAM" format from a list of options, and paraview works without further problems.

I'd gladly do the modification you suggest, but the thing is that I'm not allowed to do that myself. So I was wondering: is this a serious error (i.e. can I expect problems in the future if I don't do anything about it), or is it just mildly annoying but innocent?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Best,
Sita

I did the solution that you posted in 20

alias paraFoam='export LC_ALL=C; paraFoam'
but, still not working. I'm working in foam-extend-3.1. What to do?

Greetings Maimouna,

I need more details, in order to reproduce the same error. Namely:

1. Which Linux Distribution are you using?
2. What installations instructions did you follow?
3. What does the following command give you?
   

   which paraview

4. Which tutorial case can be used for reproducing the same error message?

Best regards,
Bruno

HI,Bruno! I meet the similar problem when I install OF2.2.2.I install it by installation packages OpenFOAM-2.2.2 and ThirdParty-2.2.2. The packages are gcc-4.6.1,gmp-5.0.4,mpfr-3.1.0,mpc-0.9,boost_1_45_0.,CGAL-4.0.2,cmake-2.8.4 andqt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.3.
I am sure the Qt is install correctly,these are the end lines of the output log file.

Built: Qt-4.7.3
Create/Edit files to ease later relocation of a QT installation
create:
/home/ec2-user/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.2.2/platforms/linux64Gcc/qt-4.7.3/bin/qt.conf
edit pkgconfig:
/home/ec2-user/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.2.2/platforms/linux64Gcc/qt-4.7.3/lib/pkgconfig/*.pc
edited 19 files

But when I run the makeParaView , I can't go through it. The first error:
