```
Can someone please tell me what the problem is?
I know, that the reader comes with OpenFoam, but this issue is still paraview related.

What might be the cause, that a reader can be loaded in the python shell of the GUI but not in pvpython/pvbatch?
I would expect, that everything that works in the python shell is working in pvpython/pvbatch and vice versa.

Just to make sure, does the file exist ?
```
/opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-dev/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/lib/paraview-5.5/libPVFoamReader_SM.so
```
Wich version of OpenFOAM are you using ?

Yes, the file exists and you can load it in the GUI via ManagePlugins (respectively it is loaded automatically), where it is working.
The recent OpenFOAM-dev version from the OF foundation, but it happens with 5.x also.

> As reader we use PVFoamReader distributed with OpenFOAM, since we have particles and the new barycentric tracking method in OpenFOAM is not supported in the OpenFOAMReader which comes with Praview.
As a possible workaround, you could have a function object to write out the parcel positions in the usual (x,y,z …) format, which are possible for the native reader to read.

pvpython is not linked with libvtkpqCore, while this plugin seems to have been linked with it.
Since you are working with binaries, the only solution is to use LD\_PRELOAD.
```auto
LD_PRELOAD=/opt/OpenFOAM/paraviewopenfoam54/lib/paraview-5.4/libvtkpqCore-pv5.4.1.so.1 /opt/OpenFOAM/paraviewopenfoam54/bin/pvpython
```

Thanks Mathieu,
it seems to be working.

Hi, am having the same issues with getting pvbatch scripts to run and load the PVFoamReader. I’m using OF5.0 and Paraview 5.4. As above I try the LoadPlugin command and return:
```
ERROR: .../vtkPVPluginLoader.ccx, line 388
vtkPVPluginLoader ... libPVFoamReader_SM.so: undefined symbol: _ZN12pqRenderView16staticMetaObjectE
```
If I follow your instructions and at Bash prompt enter: [I do not have a libvtkpqCore-pv5.4.1.so.1 so used pv5.1.so.1 ?]
```
LD_PRELOAD=/opt/openfoam5/paraviewopenfoam54/lib/paraview-5.4/libvtkpqCore-pv5.4.so.1 /opt/paraviewopenfoam54/bin/pvpython
ERROR: ld.so: object '/opt/openfoam5/paraviewopenfoam54/lib/paraview-5.4/libvtkpqCore-pv5.4.so.1' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.
ERROR: ld.so: object '/opt/openfoam5/paraviewopenfoam54/lib/paraview-5.4/libvtkpqCore-pv5.4.so.1' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.
Python 2.7.12 (default, Dec 4 2017, 14:50:18)

```
Unsure how to fix. Where should the LD\_PRELOAD statement be added ?
Appreciate any advice.
Britt

Can you run the following ?
```

this is a bash command to run pvpython, usually done in the terminal.

Hello,
I’ve used the same steps that you mentioned for Britton Ward since my paraview installation is same with him.
```
LD_PRELOAD=/opt/paraviewopenfoam54/lib/paraview-5.4/libvtkpqCore-pv5.4.so.1 /opt/paraviewopenfoam54/bin/pvpython
```
I added this command into my .bashrc. When I open a terminal window it automatically opens python interface like this:
> BlockquotePython 2.7.6 (default, Jun 22 2015, 18:01:27)
> [GCC 4.8.2] on linux2
> Type “help”, “copyright”, “credits” or “license” for more information.
What should I do in this state? Can you give me any help?
Batu

Why would you put it in your .bashrc ? just run the command when you need to use pvpython.

I’m new to Linux so I thought I had to put it in .bashrc. The problem is when I wrote the command
> Python 2.7.6 (default, Jun 22 2015, 18:01:27)
> [GCC 4.8.2] on linux2
> Type “help”, “copyright”, “credits” or “license” for more information.
It just opens this in terminal. Then I can’t use the command pvpyhton?
