I have been playing with the compilation of different versions of Paraview and now it seems that my latex interpreter stopped working. It seems that it comes from a shared configuration among the Paraview versions and I cannot rectify this problem. How can I specify to Paraview to use again a latex interpreter to render equations and mathematical expressions?
I was having a similar problem on Fedora 36 (not sure if the same since you don’t have many details). The solution there was to revert my matplotlib version to v3.5.3:
I didn’t specify explicitly the version of matplotlib. How should I indicate it in the compilation flags? These are the flags that I used for my compilation of the superbuild with OSMESA:
Since the OSMESA version is for headless post-processing (no GUI), I am connecting to the superbuild server with the version 5.9.1 but as you can observe below, the latex interpreter is not working:
You can rm -rf superbuild/paraview in the superbuild’s build tree to reset its build directory and configuration.
As for the configuration, you can do it on a launch with the --dr flag to ignore any configuration. Other than that, they live in ~/.config/ParaView IIRC.
I tried to erase it totally and build it but I still have the same issue. I found out that the latex compiler issues only occurs now for the version 5.9.0 and 5.9.1 in my computer (I re-downloaded them too). I don’t have these problems in the version 5.11 but since my scripts are working fine on the version 5.9.* I would prefer keep using it for time-saving reasons. Therefore it seems that there is something in my computer that it is preventing Paraview 5.9.* from using the latex compiler. Have you any thoughts about this?
I am still having problems with the latex interpreter in my Paraview installation. I cannot even remember how many things I have tried, some of them are in previous posts in this thread. I even tried to install the superbuild with the version v5.9.1 but the latex interpreter for this specific version doesn’t work. I tried other versions of Paraview and it works which means that in my computer the installation of Paraview 5.9.1 is somehow damaged and I cannot revert it to defaults or reinstall the default configuration. All my scripts are adapted for this version and this is why I insist in fixing my installation. Would it be possible to provide different ways to reinstall totally a paraview version?
