Hi all,

Thanks for your suggestions. Looks like it is an issue with ubuntu 10.10, so I think I'll file it in as bug report. Just to show that I'm not the only one, I found this post with exactly the same problem by "Ken" on Nov. 24th:

http://www.mail-archive.com/paraview@paraview.org/msg10168.html

So now I want to tell ubuntu that they should please fix it - I'm not clever enough to do it myself (I think however I can use kitware binaries, if necessary). The only thing is, that I've never filed in bug reports to ubuntu before so I'm not quite sure I know where to do it. Maybe somebody on this list knows what to do? I found these pages:

https://launchpad.net/~techboard
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad


Thanks again for your help (I'll still read here, if anyone has any further good suggestions - if I don't receive any answers, I think I'll just try to write to somebody on the above two links)...

Okay that explains it. I am not sure how the ubuntu mainter built the
3.8.0 binary. I just tried the binaries available on ParaView website
for 3.8.0 and there are no issues. I am guessing he somehow has
brought in a more recent servermanager.py than 3.8.0.

Solution would be to either use kitware binaries
(http://paraview.org/files/v3.8/), or locate and edit servermanager.py
manually to remove the offending line or wait for the next release.

Yes - the installed paraview is 100% a standard-package binary version
installed through the graphical package manager that ships with ubuntu 10.10
- I didn't build it myself, so there's no compile-options that could cause
this problem...

To David: "So this is a package installed ParaView then"? Yes it is...
(sorry I answered before but my email program came up with error message
about the mailserver and after trying a couple of times, the mailprogram
crashed and refused to send you the answer, so here's the answer - and I
hope the mail-program will not complain this time...

I doubt it's ubuntu related. This is stop ParaView 3.8.0 or did you
build it yourself?

Thanks for your suggestion.

pvpython outputs exactly the same errors message as with
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/paraview python

The error appears only the first time I try to load/import the module.
Despite the error message, the module seems to be loaded. However, if I
run:

servermanager.vtkSMObject.GetProxyManager().GetProxyDefinitionsUpdated()

I received:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in<module>
AttributeError: GetProxyDefinitionsUpdated


Any ideas? Isn't this a bug (or is it ubuntu-related)?

If you simply run pvpython executable and import paraview, does that
work?

Sorry, no - I'm sure that there's only one version of paraview
installed
-
the machine has a fresh Ubuntu 10.10 installation...

Do you have multiple versions of paraview  installed by any chance?

Hi David:

- thanks for LD_LIBRARY_PATH-suggestion
- I also found this suggestion on google and tried it earlier,
however
it
still didn't / doesn't work (slightly different message):

---------------
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/paraview python

path.append('/usr/lib/paraview')
from paraview.simple import *

Any other clever ideas, please?

Dear all

Please bear over with me, but I've tried to google for the following
error
messages and have seen that other people have the same problem as me
(but
the threads have been unanswered). I hope somebody can help me avoid
this
error:

    -------------------

But it's not true - I've have the file it's looking for:

martin@MEK-404-MFJO-01:~$ locate libvtkCommonPythonD.so
/usr/lib/paraview/libvtkCommonPythonD.so
/usr/lib/paraview/libvtkCommonPythonD.so.pv3.8


???

I know somebody who's running Ubuntu 10.04 and doesn't have this
problem
so I think the problem is related to something that has changed
between
these two versions...

Please advice - any suggestions are most welcome...
