<p>Utkarash,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks, I had added it to the xml file, but I didn't reconfigure (just rebuilt) so it didn't get added to the list.
<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I'm making some progress it seems, it is picking the right reader now. But it is crashing with a rather unhelpful message:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<div>ERROR: In /data4/PVBoxLibTest/paraview/ParaViewCore/ServerImplementation/Core/vtkSIProxy.cxx, line 310<br>
vtkSISourceProxy (0x3e87420): Failed to create vtkVisItBoxlib2DReader. Aborting for debugging purposes.</div>
<br>
<p>I thought compiling with a Debug build type would give more verbose messages, but it's the same.
<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Is there documentation or suggestions on debugging paraview? Is there a way to get more verbose output on why it isn't able to create the reader?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks again,</p>
<p><br>

<p>I took a stab at adding the Boxlib reader from the visit source to the VisitBridge internal readers. I managed to get everything to compile and link, Paraview built fine, but I can't seem to figure out how to make Paraview aware the reader exists.
<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>There isn't an option for Boxlib in the dropdown for the file type when I try to open a file, and it doesn't appear as an available reader when I try to select the file -- although all the others from the VisitBridge appear. I missed a configuration file
somewhere to make the file loading aware of the reader. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Any suggestions on what I missed? I added a section in the Utilities/VisItBridge/<wbr>databases/visit_readers.xml file, but that wasn't enough I guess.

<p>Hi Utkarsh,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I just checked with the latest head of the git repo and when I compile with the VisitBridge, there are no readers for BoxLib built.
<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>This page lists it as supported: <a href="http://www.paraview.org/ParaView/index.php/VisIt_avt_Integration" target="_blank">
http://www.paraview.org/<wbr>ParaView/index.php/VisIt_avt_<wbr>Integration</a></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>But then this later one doesn't include it: <a href="http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/VisIt_Database_Bridge" target="_blank">http://www.paraview.org/<wbr>Wiki/VisIt_Database_Bridge</a><br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I have a dataset for you, I will send it off-list. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

I am not exactly sure what's the status of the reader, but I can<br>
certainly look it up. Do you have a sample dataset also to test that<br>
it's working (or not)?<br>
