[Paraview] Parallel ParaView linux package usage

[Léo Pessanha]

Hi!

Just finished downloading ParaView version 5.2 in Linux Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

Tried to run in parallel by doing:

cd *paraviewFolder/bin *
./mpiexec -n 2 ./pvserver


*No sucess. *

./mpiexec: error while loading shared libraries: libmpl.so.1: cannot open
> shared object file: No such file or directory


After doing some research I added the *paraview/lib* folder to my
LD_LIBRARY_PATH

export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/pv52/lib/paraview-5.2:/opt/pv52/lib/
cd *paraviewFolder/bin *
./mpiexec -n 2 ./pvserver


*No sucess.*

[mpiexec at leognome] HYDU_create_process (./utils/launch/launch.c:69): execvp
> error on file /home/leo/paraview/pv52/bin/./hydra_pmi_proxy (No such file
> or directory)
> [mpiexec at leognome] HYD_pmcd_pmiserv_proxy_init_cb
> (./pm/pmiserv/pmiserv_cb.c:520): assert (!closed) failed
> [mpiexec at leognome] HYDT_dmxu_poll_wait_for_event

> [mpiexec at leognome] main (./ui/mpich/mpiexec.c:405): process manager error
> waiting for completion


Finally I entered the folder paraviewFolder/*lib/paraview-5.2  *to dig the
problem and found there are another set of
executables(paraview/pvserver/pvpython/etc) there.


cd *paraviewFolder/lib/paraview-5.2*
./mpiexec -n 2 ./pvserver

*Sucessful run.*

Then I went to ParaView download page and downloaded the latest version 5.5
In the 5.5 package I did:

cd *paraviewFolder/bin *
./mpiexec -n 2 ./pvserver


*Sucessful run.*

My question is, what happened? Was it supposed to happen? There was
structural directories changes?
