Hi Bill,
It sounds like you've not configured your build correctly.
do I need to have PARAVIEW_USE_MPI
yes. it's Cray what's the point of running a serial build there?
I'm using is MPICH 3.0.4, and I've compiled
it myself
don't do that, :-). Better use highly optimized Cray MPT on Cray systems.
You need to set MPI_C_INCLUDE_PATH/MPI_CXX_INCLUDE_PATH and
MPI_C_LIBRARIES/MPI_CXX_LIBRARIES.
Make sure your using PrgEnv-gnu then you can dump the libraries and
paths that are used with "CC --verbose". Also CRAY_LD_LIBRARY_PATH can
be helpful for getting the right system paths.
the
Plugin's don't compile.
If you're trying to static link, that's a known issue and was just
recently fixed. IMO It's better to have them off when static linking
anyway, cause they'll *all* be automatically loaded on the server side
and you'll need to do the same in the client(or it will crash) which is
a bit of a pain, and confusing for new users.

Hello everyone,
So I've been working on getting ParaView compiled on a new
Cray XE/XK7 system, and I seem to have made some progress,
but not enough to have ParaView running.
So my main problem is that when I do get the make process
to complete, it doesn't produce the "pvserver" executable.
Here's what it does produce:
% ls bin
H5detect vtkmkg3states-pv4.0 vtkWrapHierarchy-pv4.0
H5make_libsettings vtkParseJava-pv4.0 vtkWrapJava-pv4.0
protoc vtkParseOGLExt-pv4.0 vtkWrapPythonInit-pv4.0
smTestDriver vtkProcessShader-pv4.0 vtkWrapPython-pv4.0
vtkEncodeString-pv4.0 vtkpython vtkWrapTclInit-pv4.0
vtkHashSource-pv4.0 vtkWrapClientServer-pv4.0 vtkWrapTcl-pv4.0
So there's no "paraview" itself because I turned off the
QT-GUI flag. As this is an HPC machine, I expect to use
it in server mode.
There is another problem, which I'm not sure whether it's
related or not, and that is that I can't get it to compile
when the PARAVIEW_USE_MPI flag is on.
So I guess my first question is: do I need to have PARAVIEW_USE_MPI
on in order to get "pvserver" built? In theory, I can choose
to run with only one "pvserver" process, in which case it doesn't
need MPI, but in general of course one would run more than one.
But I think in other circumstances I've compiled "pvserver" without
MPI, so I'm not sure whether this is the problem. (But I'm not
sure what's going on with MPI.)
I'll attach the "CMakeCache.txt" file since that may provide a
clue to someone who knows what they're looking for -- I didn't
notice anything that would indicate why no "pvserver".
As for the MPI issue, I continue to get a message of this type:
---------
[ 19%] Building CXX object
VTK/Parallel/MPI/CMakeFiles/vtkParallelMPI.dir/vtkMPIController.cxx.o

../../../lib/libvtkParallelMPI-pv4.0.so/usr/bin/ld:

make: *** [all] Error 2
----------
So the MPI version that I'm using is MPICH 3.0.4, and I've compiled
it myself, and I set environment variables to cause the -fPIC compile
flag to be used, but that doesn't seem to help. Not sure what's
going on there, or what command to run to verify that the -fPIC
flag took.
I'm using this version of gcc/g++ for both paraview and MPICH:
g++ (GCC) 4.8.1 20130531 (Cray Inc.)
There is one other thing I'm mention in case it's related -- the
Plugin's don't compile. I have to disable all the plugins in order
to get through the compilation process.
Thoughts?
Thank you in advance,
Bill
