Hi! I’m stuck with the following problem when trying to visualize any computation via paraFoam. Will be great if anyone could help with it.

A backtrace would be needed here; it’s unclear if this is ParaView or OpenFOAM code that is at fault.
Does it work if you clear out (or ignore with the `-dr` flag) any pre-existing configuration?

Thank you for help! I tried --dr, but it didn’t change anything. Could you please suggest what I should do in order to provide the backtrace to you? Pity I didn’t find any information how to do it in this particular case.

Running under `gdb` may be able to help here:
```console
$ gdb --args paraFoam
gdb> run
gdb> bt
```
