Hello, I am trying to compile paraview for general usage on one of our clusters at SDSC. I wanted to ask what are the common paraview installation practices that are useful for general purpose. I would certainly need to compile the paraview server
1. Do I compile paraview with OSMesa or Xlib? (X is available on the cluster, will this require X on client?). Is it better to avoid X? 2. Do I compile with QT or without on cluster 3. Which compiler and which MPI to use (we have intel and gnu compilers, MPI, mvapich and openmpi) ? I looked at the following page and unsure how to go about this http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView_And_Mesa_3D At the moment I am stuck on mesa compilation and the choice I make here will determine Paraview's compilation. When I try to compile Mesa-7.11 or Mesa-7.9 I get the following error python2 -t -O -O builtins/tools/generate_builtins.py ./builtin_compiler > builtin_function.cpp || rm -f builtin_function.cpp File "builtins/tools/generate_builtins.py", line 28 with open(filename) as f: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax I have tried to use A) make linux-x86_64 B) ./configure --with-driver=xlib --prefix=/work/achourasia/mesa_build/ --disable-gallium --with-gallium-drivers="" If I don’t pass --disable-gallium --with-gallium-drivers="" the configure fails checking for llvm-config... no configure: error: LLVM is required to build Gallium R300 on x86 and x86_64 Please advice Thanks --Amit _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the ParaView Wiki at: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.paraview.org/mailman/listinfo/paraview
