Dear ParaView users,
I have encountered an issue when trying to install ParaView 5.10.1 on a Debian 10 machine. I expect the issue to be an easy fix, but unfortunately I was not able to resolve it myself.
To build ParaView from source, I followed the build instructions described here. At first, I made sure to install all required dependencies as specified in the build instructions. Then, I cloned the GitHub repository and checked out the proper tag:
git clone --recursive https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview.git
cd ParaView
git checkout v5.10.1
git submodule update --init --recursive
For building and installing ParaView, I created the following shell script (note that I disabled QT, as I only require pvserver):
#!/bin/sh
# Settings
BASE_DIR="<some-path>"
PARAVIEW_SOURCE_DIR="$BASE_DIR/ParaView"
PARAVIEW_BUILD_DIR="$BASE_DIR/build"
PARAVIEW_INSTALL_DIR="$BASE_DIR/paraview-5.10.1-install"
OSPRAY_DIR="$BASE_DIR/ospray-2.10.0.x86_64.linux"
# Create the build directory
mkdir -p $PARAVIEW_BUILD_DIR
cd $PARAVIEW_BUILD_DIR
# Generate Ninja build files
cmake -GNinja $PARAVIEW_SOURCE_DIR \
-DPARAVIEW_USE_PYTHON=ON \
-DPARAVIEW_USE_MPI=OFF \
-DPARAVIEW_USE_CUDA=OFF \
-DPARAVIEW_USE_QT=OFF \
-DVTK_SMP_IMPLEMENTATION_TYPE=TBB \
-DPARAVIEW_ENABLE_RAYTRACING=ON \
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang \
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="$PARAVIEW_INSTALL_DIR" \
-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="$OSPRAY_DIR" \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
# If generation of Ninja build files was succesful, start the build
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
ninja install
else
echo "Generating build files failed."
fi
Note that in the BASE_DIR directory, I placed the OSPRay binaries downloaded from here.
CMake’s generation stage goes well. Unfortunately, I receive the following linker errors during the build stage:

The errors are clearly related to either a missing TBB library or a wrong version of the TBB library. However, I did install libtbb-dev as stated in the build instructions. From the instructions, I quote:
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / Debian 10
sudo apt-get install git cmake build-essential libgl1-mesa-dev libxt-dev qt5-default libqt5x11extras5-dev libqt5help5 qttools5-dev qtxmlpatterns5-dev-tools libqt5svg5-dev python3-dev python3-numpy libopenmpi-dev libtbb-dev ninja-build
Notice the second-to-last entry in the apt-get command. To be sure, I checked my installed packages and found the following entry:
libtbb-dev/oldstable,now 2018~U6-4 amd64 [installed]
The TBB library thus seems to be present on the system.
I hope someone has a good suggestion on how to overcome this issue.
Best regards,
Danny
