[Pkg-scicomp-devel] Paraview: help failed

[Gerber van der Graaf]

Hi, 

Here some ideas how I got compiled the paraview deb package on a fresh
updated Debian/Unstable:

Applying "svn up -r 2340" turned out to be the identical release as the
original debian package from
http://debian.certik.cz/debian/. Tough, this release does not support qt
4.4.0 (the current version in Debian/Unstable). 

Now from the latest svn checkout (without doing "svn up -r 2340"), I
changed debian/rules, line 25: -DVTK_USE_MPEG2_ENCODER=OFF.
So vtkMPEG2Encode_INCLUDE_PATH and
vtkMPEG2Encode_LIBRARIES are not required anymore, but I do not know the
effects during operation of the program. To support qt 4.4.0 I modified
debian/patches/configure.patch line 10 to:
+STRING(REGEX MATCH "^4\\.[2-4]\\.[0-9]+" qt_version_tmp "${QTVERSION}")

During compilation of
VTK/Rendering/CMakeFiles/vtkRendering.dir/vtkGraphicsFactory.o
it tunrned out that X11/StringDefs.h and X11/Intrinsic.h are missing. So
libxt-dev is probably needed in the dependancy list in debian/control.

When installing the package, though, paraview exits with: 
Floating point exception
Any ideas?

Gerber
