Paraview Compilation Errors with Catalyst enabled [Paraview 5.13.0-RC2]

ParaView Support

Hi,
I am having errors compiling ParaView with the -DPARAVIEW_ENABLE_CATALYST=ON .
I am compiling with gcc 11.2.0.

Without catalyst it builds fine. With catalyst I get the following error. Any Ideas?

paraview/master/src/paraview/VTK/ThirdParty/ioss/vtkioss/catalyst/Iocatalyst_DatabaseIO.C: In member function ‘std::vector<INT> vtkioss_Iocatalyst::DatabaseIO::ImplementationT::getInterweavedScalarDataFromConduitNode(std::vector<std::__cxx11::basic_string<char> >, conduit_cpp::Node&) const’:
paraview/master/src/paraview/VTK/ThirdParty/ioss/vtkioss/catalyst/Iocatalyst_DatabaseIO.C:881:39: error: ‘class conduit_cpp::Node’ has no member named ‘number_of_elements’
  881 |       int            num_get = t_node.number_of_elements();

There were some fixes in the final 5.13 version related to Ioss. You may want to try the v5.13.0 tag instead of the RC2.

Unfortunately the error persists in 5.13.0 as well.

In 5.12.1, 5.12.0 I get the following error

I think that Catalyst install is out of date here. I changed this typedef in Conduit 0.8.0 (via this PR). This was pulled into Catalyst 2.0.0-rc1 via this MR. Where is this Catalyst from? It seems to be a pre-RC build rather than a full release.

Thanks.
I was using a very old catalyst. With the new catalyst-2.0.0 I was able to build 5.13.0 successfully
