I cannot read a .vtp file I could open yesterday. Can someone try to open it?

While I wait for the bug to be fixed, I am trying to install the binary version from the Paraview website.

I am using Arch Linux like you, but how can I install it? Simply running the executable does not work.

It does though.

https://www.paraview.org/paraview-downloads/download.php?submit=Download&version=v5.12&type=binary&os=Linux&downloadFile=ParaView-5.12.0-MPI-Linux-Python3.10-x86_64.tar.gz

I downloaded that archive and I extracted it, but what executable should I run?

For example

./paraview
/home/massimo/Dottorato/Paraview/ParaView-5.12.0-MPI-Linux-Python3.10-x86_64/bin/paraview-real: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

sudo pacman -S libxcrypt-compat

Thank you, it works. I don’t know why that package is not a dependency for the Arch Linux pkgbuild (it should be already installed otherwise) but it doesn’t really matter.

Because the binary release use an old version of libxcrypt
