Liggghts_reader

Submitted by RocheDEM on Mon, 07/16/2012 - 17:36

Hi,

I am trying to use the liggghts reader plugin for Paraview.

I downloaded the precompiled reader for PV3.12.0 "libliggghts_reader_64bit_PV312.so".

From the Tools-Manage Pluggins, I clicked on Load new button. This is the error that I get when I try to add the file "libliggghts_reader_64bit_PV312.so"

ERROR: In /home/opencfd/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.1.x/ParaView-3.12.0/ParaViewCore/ClientServerCore/vtkPVPluginLoader.cxx, line 296
vtkPVPluginLoader (0x1fbe300): libIceTMPI.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I am a new linux (and Liggghts as well) user, any help is appreciated greatly.

Thank you,

Kirk

Hi Kirk,

where did you get your Paraview Installation from ? (paraview-homepage or from you distribution (Ubuntu: apt-get))
It seems to me, that your PV Version is not build with shared libs.
Please try the Paraview Release from kitware: http://www.paraview.org/ or compile PV from source with shared libs enabled.

best wishes,
Christian

Hi Christian,

I believe (a friend of mine helped me with installing openfoam and liggghts since I have very little understanding of the linux environment) that PV was installed as described on the openfoam website;

http://www.openfoam.org/download/ubuntu.php

Could you explain to me that steps I would need to take to compile PV from source with shared libs enabled?

Thank you,

Kirk
