paraview package

newbie query: auto parallel install

Asked by vinay pai

Hi,

I could not find this info thru google so was wondering: if i use the sudo apt-get paraview approach, will it automatically install with the parallel option (or allow me somehow to configure it)? I am running MPICH1.2.7p1 (i know, it is not mpich2, but I have some apps which only run well under 1.2.7). The paraview website recommends making from scratch to have the parallel option enabled; I have Natty Narwhal on my cluster.

You can work out whether this is the case by enabling the source repository, then downloading the source used to build paraview.

Ignore what the paraview website says -- you are not building from source, so the package manager will take care of things for you.

Looking in the debian/rules file from that, these are the flags used:

+DEB_CMAKE_EXTRA_FLAGS= \
+ -DBUILD_DOCUMENTATION=ON \

+ -DPV_INSTALL_INCLUDE_DIR="include/paraview"

The bit you care about is:
+ -DPARAVIEW_USE_MPI=ON
