[Paraview-developers] Git-master and Windows

[Reuter, Michael A.]

I finally got ParaView (now using version 4.2.0) to give me a clue as to why startup was failing. I see:

ImportError: No module named site
[8854 refs]

However, in the same shell window (environment) I tried to launch ParaView, I can launch python and do import site with no issues. It feels like a path is getting mangled or dropped somewhere inside ParaView’s startup, but I wouldn’t know where to begin looking. Any pointers?

Thanks,
M

I can get the build to complete just fine, but running the paraview.exe does nothing. It thinks for a bit and then exits without any hit of an error. A debug build does the same thing. I can’t attach any debugging process since subsequent attempts at execution exit much faster. I think the issue has to do with Python because I’ve made a build using PARAVIEW_ENABLE_PYTHON=OFF and paraview.exe works fine in that case. I’ve been left scratching my head, so I’m willing to entertain any and all ideas about what further things I can look at to determine the problem.
