Hi everyone,
I downloaded the newest paraview on my ubuntu machine (ParaView-5.11.0-RC2-MPI-Linux-Python3.9-x86_64.tar.gz)
I start paraview and do ‘start trace’
or: I start pvpython
I then get a bunch of errors, the last 4 lines looking like this:
3 0x7f223e92033b /home/user/Codes/ParaView-5.11.0-RC2-MPI-Linux-Python3.9-x86_64/bin/…/lib/libpython3.9.so.1.0(+0x12033b) [0x7f223e92033b]

( 0.314s) [paraview ] :0 FATL| Signal: SIGSEGV
Note that line (2) is using my local python 3.9 site packages in .local/python3.9. If I rename this folder so it cannot be found, everything seems to work. But how can I make paraview not use this folder? I am not even sure how paraview knows that this folder exists, because when I do python -m site I get references to only the newer python 3.10 version (and paraview has no problem with that folder existing):
sys.path = [
‘/usr/lib/python310.zip’,
‘/usr/lib/python3.10’,
‘/usr/lib/python3.10/lib-dynload’,
‘/home/user/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages’,
‘/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages’,
‘/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages’,
‘/usr/lib/python3.10/dist-packages’,
]
USER_BASE: ‘/home/user/.local’ (exists)
USER_SITE: ‘/home/user/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages’ (exists)
ENABLE_USER_SITE: True
So my question is basically: why does paraview look into .local and how can I prevent it (assuming that it is not necessary)?
