After unpacking ParaView-4.4.0-Qt4-Linux-64bit.tar.gz I was unable to launch it. Attempting to launch it from the command line resulted in:
$ /opt/ParaView-4.4.0-Qt4-Linux-64bit/lib/paraview-4.4/paraview /opt/ParaView-4.4.0-Qt4-Linux-64bit/lib/paraview-4.4/paraview: error while loading shared libraries: libGenericIO.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Turns out that ParaView-4.4.0-Qt4-Linux-64bit/lib/paraview-4.4/libGenericIO.so had the following permissions: -rwx------. 1 1001 1001 378310 Sep 14 15:36 libGenericIO.so So the fix is simple: chmod a+r ~/shared/ParaView-4.4.0-Qt4-Linux-64bit.tar.gz To be clear, I had installed it as, sudo tar xvzf ~/Downloads/ParaView-4.4.0-Qt4-Linux-64bit.tar.gz -C /opt Had I unpacked it without sudo, it would have run fine, although just for me, not for other users. Hope this is useful to others who might run into this minor issue.
