Hi,

I want to install OpenFoam 2.0.1 on a server with suse enterprise. The installation of OpenFoam was ok no errors. Now I want to install paraview 3.10.1. The first problem was the missing cmake but I installed cmake 2.8.5. Now my problem is this output:

CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
QT_QTWEBKIT_INCLUDE_DIR (ADVANCED)
   used as include directory in directory /home/preibisch/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.0.1/ParaView-3.10.1/VTK/GUISupport/Qt

    Set environment variables:

        export PATH=$ParaView_DIR/bin:$PATH
        export PV_PLUGIN_PATH=$FOAM_LIBBIN/paraview-3.10
    ---

Done

I looked for the version of qt:

QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.6.2 in /usr/lib64

foamSystemCheck

Checking basic system...

User:            preibisch


System check: PASS
==================
Continue OpenFOAM installation.

I think the bouth test are OK!
What is the problem? Can somebody help me?

thanks Preibie

Greetings Preibie,

I've got two solutions for you:

   The steps of the procedure are the following:

   • Use YaST to install
     • the C/C++ development pattern in YaST
     • cmake
     • libqt4-devel (required to build paraview)
     • libQtWebKit-devel (required to build paraview)
     • flex

   In bold is the package that the error message is referring to. Well, that's at least the solution for openSUSE, so I don't know if it will work for SuSe.
2. If all else fails, then try following these instructions: Building ParaView 3.10.1 with custom Qt 4.6.4

Best regards,
Bruno

I got the same error when trying to install Paraview on SuSe Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1. After installing the libQtWebKit-devel Paraview compiled ok, but when I try to start paraview, I just get an error about a missing GLX extension:

ERROR: In /home/lehikjoe/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.0.1/ParaView-3.10.1/VTK/Rendering/vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, line 404
vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow (0x164f920): Could not find a decent visual

...

ERROR: In /home/lehikjoe/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.0.1/ParaView-3.10.1/VTK/Rendering/vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, line

vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow (0x164f920): GLX not found.  Aborting.

This should work:
ParaFoam error could not find a decent visual - solution in post #4

[preibie]

thanks for the help. Your idea was good. I installed the libQtWebKit-devel package and installed without problems paraview and the reader

This didn't help, but it's not important; I have a working installation of paraview on another box, so I can perform post-processing there.

Hi Joel,

Mmm... I vaguely remember that the packages freeglut, glxgears (Debian only, if I'm not mistaken) and the drivers for the graphics card should have the missing GLX stuff. The "Mesa" drivers should also have it, but Mesa is for CPU based graphics, not GPU.

But neither one of these worked before starting ParaView?

• export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=y

• Or

  export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1

Best regards,
Bruno
