Hello everyone,

I have a virtual machine with Ubuntu 16.04.3 on board.
Also OpenFOAM-2.4.0 and ParaView 4.1.0 installed using this guide https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...u#Ubuntu_16.04.
PyFoam (version 0.6.7) installed with pip.
I'm interested in functionality of PyFoam that requires ParaView of version 4.3.1 or above. For example, version 5.0.1 that available through apt-get is enough for me. But version 4.1.0 already installed and I need it too.

What's the typical steps to start using another version of ParaView with PyFoam in this situation?

I have dowloaded following version of ParaView from the official website - "ParaView-5.0.1-Qt4-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit".
Then I tried to set up some environment variables:

export PATH="/home/prodin/ParaView-5.0.1/bin:$PATH"
export ParaView_DIR="/home/prodin/ParaView-5.0.1"

But I'm still getting errors:

What else I can try?

Also I found out that "libGL" error is some kind of rendering issue. There are some threads and other info about problems with graphics drivers. But I don't know what I can do with that, especially considering that is a virtual machine.

Any helpful thoughts would be appreciated.
