Error during installation on ArchLinux

[Katharina]

Hi,
I'm trying to install openEMS with the help of build tutorial in the wiki.
Here is the error in the logfile:


CMake Warning at CMakeLists.txt:124 (find_package):
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "VTK" (requested
version 6.1) with any of the following names:

VTKConfig.cmake
vtk-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "VTK" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "VTK_DIR"
to a directory containing one of the above files. If "VTK" provides a
separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.


CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:126 (find_package):
By not providing "FindVTK.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "VTK", but
CMake did not find one.

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "VTK" with any of
the following names:

VTKConfig.cmake
vtk-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "VTK" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "VTK_DIR"
to a directory containing one of the above files. If "VTK" provides a
separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.

I have installed VTK 6.3, I tried also version 7 which made no difference.
I could not find version 6.1 neither in the repositories nor unter http://www.vtk.org/download/

Does anybody know where I can find a version 6.1? Or what else can I do to make it work?

Hi,

both vtk6.3 and vtk7 should work. The question is why does cmake not find it...

Have you had a look at this AUR package? https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/openems/
It looks quite up to date, but I do not have Arch and thus cannot test it.

regards
Thorsten

Hi,

thank you for your suggestion, this solved the problem with vtk.
After skipping the checking of the checksum and installing openmpi, I got another error which I can't solve:

I found these threads http://openems.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f ... atch#p2059 and http://openems.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f ... atch#p1775
I tried without the gui and with the suggested change in the update skript, but neither changed the error and now it does not make a difference whether I try to build the package from the AUR nor whether I try to use the tutorial in the wiki.
Could you help me again?

Hi,

try to uncomment this line: https://github.com/thliebig/openEMS/blo ... s.txt#L152
I guess you are running a 32bit Arch?
