I try to run a python script (test.py) containing this line only:
from paraview.simple import *
I want to use the last version of paraview. So, I downloaded it from the official webpage and I uncompressed the corresponding archive into a folder, say /home/paraview.
If I do not anything more than running the script with
python test.py
I get the following error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 2, in <module>
from paraview.simple import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'paraview'
So, I set my PYTHONPATH like this:
export PYTHONPATH=/home/paraview/lib/python2.7/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH
Then, I rerun my script and I get a different error message:
Error: Could not import vtkCommonComputationalGeometry
Segmentation fault
I tried to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/paraview/lib
where vtkCommonComputationalGeometry.so is but it does not work.
Furthermore, if I try to locate vtkCommonComputationalGeometry, I find it in another location:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvtkCommonComputationalGeometry-6.2.so
I removed vtk with apt but it is still here.
Do you know how I could run my script?
