I have compiled Paraview-2.0.2 on ubuntu linux on PPC. I noticed this
was in the list of requested packages. The i386 executables are
available on www.paraview.org
I had to compile as shared libraries. Here is my procedure if you want
to reproduce it, or I can send my compiled files if you prefer.
"...OS: Ubuntu linux 5.0.4 (Hoary Hedgehog - I have OS X Panther and
ubuntu as dual boot so I have the best of both worlds.) - Ubuntu is a
fantastic distro for those who haven't seen it. www.ubuntulinux.org You
have to apt-get (or use synaptic) to install the build-essential files
(gcc etc) and the various -dev packages with the development headers
for X11 and the like (I can provide a complete list if needed). You
have to activate the universe and multiverse repositories, but Synaptic
makes this a simple tick in a check-box.
You can apt-get cmake from the debian repositories, but it builds
easily from source, which is what I did.
Then I just followed the installation instructions for Paraview, with
the one exception of running cmake interactively (cmake -i
~/paraview-2.0.2), saying 'yes' to advanced options and changing the
'build shared vtk libraries' option from 'OFF' to 'ON' then, make,
(sudo) make install. Finally, (sudo) nano /etc/ld.so.conf to add the
path /usr/local/paraview-2.0.2 to the list and (sudo) ldconfig to
update the library search path.
If you don't want to (or can't) do the sudo install step then you don't
need to worry about ld.so.conf or ldconfig, the executable finds the
shared libraries in the build directory straight after the 'make' step
(I tried)
I can now double-click the paraview executable in /usr/local/bin and it
runs perfectly..."
Hope this might be of use
