Hi @carlosal1015 , opening like the wiki suggests (with 'paraFoam -builtin') works but paraView doesn't load a lagrangian mesh (for example, like the one needed for the cyclone tutorial for incompressibleDenseParticleFluid). Not sure it's a problem with the install though, just checked an Ubuntu machine with OF13 (same as here) but paraview 5 and everything works. Thanks for the reply :)

edit: tried foamToVTK and it also doesn't work

Hi @pspssp, which paraview plugin is missing? Did you tried https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/OpenFOAM#Paraview_not_installed

Hi there, I'm getting a paraview error when trying to run paraFoam. The error is:

FATAL ERROR: The reader module for OpenFOAM data was not found on your system. This means that OpenFOAM was not built with ParaView support, or that ParaView is not installed, or that OpenFOAM has been configured to use a different installation of ParaView from that which is installed.

I noticed the discussion below and tried reinstalling vtk but that didn't work.

If I run "paraview -builtin" it works but I don't get some of the paraFoam functionalities that I need.

Already have vtk on system, but reinstall fix the problem somehow

@Shinmen thanks for the report - that library issue seems related to vtk

$ pacman -Q vtk
vtk 9.5.0-6

$ pacman -Ql vtk | grep libvtkFiltersReduction.so.1
vtk /usr/lib/libvtkFiltersReduction.so.1

paraview is expecting to find symbols in your system installed vtk that is not being provided. This is typically a problem of upstream paraview being compiled with a newer version of vtk than your system provides

Getting the following output. The pvserver it's not correctly, I will try to uninstall and reinstall paraview to see if fix

@Shinmen

I think it's having trouble identifying your paraview installation, or the process in paraview.arch is not properly reproducable. Could I as you to please try run the following? This does not need to be done on a clean build - please open a fresh terminal (without running the ofoam alias, and without sourcing the openfoam-13.sh profile)

$ FOAM_VERBOSE=1 PS1='~' makepkg

The first few lines of output are what I'm interested in - it should look like:

Using paraview
    ParaView_DIR          : /opt/paraview
    ParaView_LIB_DIR      : /opt/paraview/lib
    ParaView_INCLUDE_DIR  : /opt/paraview/include/paraview
    PV_PLUGIN_PATH        : /Downloads/20250813122524_openfoam/openfoam/src/OpenFOAM-13/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/lib/paraview

I'm also interested in the following:

$ which pvserver
/usr/bin/pvserver
$ pacman -Qo /usr/bin/pvserver
/usr/bin/pvserver is owned by paraview 6.0.0-2
$ pvserver --version
paraview version 6.0.0

If those all look okay, please run the full makepkg from this terminal. Just to note I'm still having connectivity issues to AUR - if it's all the same to you can we continue with an issue report on https://github.com/envolution/aur/issues at least until things settle down?

still get the missing freetype error even in 13.20250706+65eda17-2 (rel /2/)

envolution commented on 2025-08-13 19:28 (UTC)

@Shinmen can you confirm you're trying to build 13.20250706+65eda17-2 (rel /2/) ? It seems the current aur situation caused some files not to be updated in rel 1 - specifically the paraview.arch file which would result in that exact issue. Sorry for the inconvenience

Shinmen commented on 2025-08-13 19:21 (UTC)

got following error
