Hi Bill, The Catalyst C and C++ examples all require the python script as an argument at run time. The Fortran example requires that the script be in the same directory. So when you aren't giving the script as an argument, the code is running but doesn't have any information about what to co-process, and it exits doing nothing.
As for the seg fault, my guess is that the ParaView versions of the python script and the one against which you are compiling are different. I know they are different on mine and while I don't get a seg fault, I get some errors about the VTK class structures. I would recommend also checking out the latest versions of the examples. Andy has done a lot of work on them recently, so if they are even a few weeks old, they might not work as expected. Also, you could just export a new script with the PV version built on your system. I hope this points you in the right direction.

I found the sample code on github: - https://github.com/acbauer/CatalystExampleCode and I began by compiling the "CFullExample" application. There is some weirdness when trying to compile the application as a non-Catalyst simulation, but since I'm trying to learn Catalyst, that's just an aside to the code maintainers. So I have the application (FEDriver) compiled, and there is a sample python script. I ran ParaView (same version as I used when compiling FEDriver -- a git clone from April), and I start the Catalyst connection: -> Tools -> Connect to Catalyst (which I had to find by poking around, the SC'12 Catalyst tutorial doesn't seem to mention this -- or not that I noticed. An aside to the code documenters.) So I followed the instructions in the python script, and with ParaView accepting Catalyst connections on port 22222, this is what happens: % ./FEDriver SampleScripts/feslicescript.py Segmentation fault (core dumped) Actually, that happens regardless of whether ParaView is running or not, but it only happens when I give the python script as an argument -- w/o the script, it runs for a moment and then returns to the prompt. So what am I missing?
