Hi,
sorry that it took me a while to get back. My configuration looked similar to yours, and was actually pretty straight forward. I also got a compile error, as a method that should assign a bool could not be called. I looked at the code, and I think it was a method that looked for a certain interaction device, and decided that in my case false would be the right option. After that, it compiled and run, but when I would send data to OpenVR, ParaView complained that a library was not found, please also check my other thread here: OpenVR under Linux
Both Steam and SteamVR were running fine.
