[Paraview] "Make install" fails

[Paul Melis]

Hi,

With a freshly built PV 3.8.1 with CMake 2.8.4 I get (see attachement
for full log) this with "make install":

[...]
-- Installing:
/home/opti/software/pv381reldebinfo/lib/paraview-3.8/purple-2/perl

make: *** [install] Error 1


The reason installation fails is that
/home/opti/software/pv381reldebinfo/lib/paraview-3.8/paraview/paraview
is already present as a file (2,052,666 bytes). I've found several
installation issues on the list, but none like this. I also wonder why
all kinds of Paraview-unrelated stuff is in the output (see full log,
e.g. totem, open office, mono, vlc, xulrunner, ...). It's almost like
all installed packages on the system get somehow represented in the PV
lib/paraview-3.8 directory. Something like that might explain the clash,
as a system-wide PV 3.4.0 is also installed, from the normal Ubunty
package repo.


Perhaps relevant build options:

BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
PARAVIEW_BUILD_QT_GUI=ON
PARAVIEW_ENABLE_PYTHON=ON
PARAVIEW_USE_MPI=OFF

Other info:
Ubuntu 10.04.2 x86_64
GCC 4.4.3
CMake 2.8.4 (built from source, no system cmake installed).


Regards,
Paul
