Hi Huan, Note: By installing, I am guessing you mean that you compiled and installed ParaView. The binaries we distribute do not have MPI support.
Which version of ParaView did you compile and how did you install it? It sounds like the search path ParaView uses for finding shared libraries is not setup properly. There are two reasons (that I can think of) why this may happen: 1. Modified installation of ParaView 2. ParaView is configured/compiled with VTK_USE_RPATH set to OFF. This happens when using a development version of ParaView by default (i.e. checkout of trunk from cvs) or if you explicitly turn off VTK_USE_RPATH Best, -berk On Mon, Dec 14, 2009 at 1:59 AM, Huan Sun <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > I installed paraview with open mpi following the instructions on > paraview.org/wiki. > > But when I ran > > mpirun -np 12 ./pvserver > > the pvserver complained it didn't find shared library > libvtkPVServerCommon.so.
