Building Paraview from source is missing pvbatch

ParaView Support
1

Hello,

I’m built Paraview from source with osmesa on a Linux cluster that has no graphics card. I had MPI enabled. After building and installing with make install the directory install/bin/ does not have pvbatch or pvpython, it has paraview and pvserver. What are the correct flags to generate them?

2

pvbatch and pvpython both require Python, which you can enable by setting PARAVIEW_USE_PYTHON to ON.

I enabled PARAVIEW_USE_PYTHON and it complained about not finding some python libraries, so I installed my own python by following the instructions here:

This built python3.6, and I passed the directories to Paraview. Now I’m getting the following errors:

The linker must not be getting the Python library. What is the value of the CMake variable Python3_LIBRARY?

Thanks! I had to give the full path to the library python3.6/install/lib/libpython3.6m.a
