I tried to install paraview using the script below.
```auto
./makeParaView -python -python-lib /usr/lib64/libpython3.8.so -mpi -qmake $(which qmake-qt5) QT_XMLPATTERNS_EXECUTABLE=$(which xmlpatterns-qt5) QT_HELP_GENERATOR=$(which qhelpgenerator-qt5)
```
The installation ends up in error at 88%. When I am using python2.7 the error happens at 98%… What wrong am I doing?
I am using Fedora34. The installation is along with OpenFoam 9.

That’s a very old version of ParaView. It looks like something is up in the ParaView build, but given other indicators (the presence of `PythonD` libraries and Python2 support), this is no longer a supported version of ParaView (Python2 support was dropped in 5.8).
