VTK Commom Core Error while building Paraview from source

ParaView Support

Hi, I am getting this error when I build Paraview from source. I was able to build it last week and even run custom applications. I had to build it again due to some reason but getting this error now

this does not contain the actual error.

It does have a problem, but without a backtrace, it’s not clear what might be the actual cause.

I was able to figure out the issue. I had build Paraview before as well but had to build it again due to some reason. The LD_LIBRARY_PATH was already set and I believe it was interfering with the new build.
Once I cleared the LD_LIBRARY_PATH I was able to resolve this issue.

Ah, yep, that’s a common one…LD_LIBRARY_PATH settings should really be in module load or shell-local things.
