Re: [Paraview] Tecplot reader from PV 3.8.1 fails on Linux Redhat CentOS
Ah, ok. Well, I have no answer, although it seems very strange that the binaries should perform so differently. I use CentOS 5.4 with an older version of ParaView. If I get hold of the ParaView 3.8.1 binaries, I'll test out the Tecplot multiblock reader myself and see how it goes.

Re: [Paraview] Tecplot reader from PV 3.8.1 fails on Linux Redhat CentOS
Thank you for your help, Adriano. In fact, only the Tecplot reader has problems on CentOS. I tested again this morning: the Tecplot reader fails on both 32 bits and 64 bits binaries. But once I have converted my data into VTM files, PV 3.8.1 binaries are working fine and I can use the LIC plugin. Regards Richard Adriano Gagliardi a écrit : Ah, ok.
