question about povray camera

Asked by Chen

Hi, everyone:

recently I faced a problem of povray camera. When I run bingle_chk.py and bingle vis.py to generate snapshots, it only generated several random timestep snapshots of my required timesteps, for example only 3 or 5 snapshots for 100 required snapshots.

I noticed that when I used "sudo make install" to the ESyS-Particle libraries and executables, it reminded me following warnings (part of the warning):

libtool: install: warning: relinking `libLsmPy.la'
libtool: install: warning: relinking `LsmPy.la'
libtool: install: warning: relinking `libWavePropagationPy.la'
libtool: install: warning: relinking `WavePropagationPy.la'
Warning: Module esys.lsm.util.PathSearcher is shadowed by a variable with the same name.
Warning: Module esys.lsm.util.Process is shadowed by a variable with the same name.
Warning: Module esys.lsm.vis.core.Camera is shadowed by a variable with the same name.
Warning: Module esys.lsm.vis.core.GlyphData is shadowed by a variable with the same name.
Warning: Module esys.lsm.vis.povray.Camera is shadowed by a variable with the same name.
Warning: esys.lsm.LsmPy.HertzianViscoElasticFrictionPrms in multiple groups
Warning: 1 markup error was found while processing docstrings. Use the verbose switch (-v) to display markup errors.
make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/daisy/esys1278/Python'
make[3]: Nothing to be done for `install-data-am'.

Does any one have the same problem and what is wrong with my ESyS-Particle libraries and executables?

thank you very much!

Chen

Hi Chen,

I'm not sure what the problem is here. Some others have had problems with the povray vis module also. See for example here:

The warnings you are getting don't look fatal but perhaps it is time to reinstall? I suggest you follow the instructions in the following FAQ to check that old versions of ESyS-Particle are removed before re-installing:

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Dion.

Hello Chen.

To follow up on Dion's comments:

The "libtool: install" relinking warnings are generated on ESyS-Particle libraries that require other ESyS-Particle libraries, perhaps because the other libraries have been installed in a new location since the build and the libraries that require them need to know where they have been installed. At any rate, these warnings to my knowledge do not affect the simulations.

The other warnings are related to Epydoc and also do not affect the simulations. I have asked the Epydoc developers about the "shadowed by a variable with the same name" and "multiple groups" warnings. The markup error is likely from Python. I once located an incorrect docstring in my Python installation. To find out, in Python/Makefile.am add the "-v" switch after "$(EPYDOC_EXE)". Then rerun "make install". This will provide a clue as to the location of the markup error.

Best regards,

Vince
