Submitted by skuang on Thu, 10/18/2018 - 04:43

I try to install LIGGGHTS on OpenSuse but do not know how to install VTK as done for Ubuntu

Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install openmpi-bin libopenmpi-dev libvtk6.2 libvtk6-dev
OpenSue:

Thanks and regards,
SK.

If I do NOT install VTK and compile LIGGGhts and run "make auto", I got the following problems

Creating list of contact models completed.
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/shibok/LIGGGHTS/LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC/src/Obj_auto'
Makefile:815: *** 'Could not obtain VTK_MAJOR_VERSION. As AUTOINSTALL_VTK is not set to "ON" we cannot continue'. Stop.

How about either
- installing vtk including the -devel (opment) packages or
- setting this in the Makefile.user to ON or
- just disabling the use of vtk in Makefile.user?

thank you , Paul.

It is working by disabling VTK or installing VTK including -devel
