[gentoo-science] ParaView anyone?

[Raimondo Giammanco]

Hello,
 is there anyone who had experience with 
ParaView (http://www.paraview.org/) on Gentoo ?

 I am trying to make it work from source just now.
It uses cmake, so I think an ebuild would be out of my league,
at least for now.

 Best Regards

 Raimondo Giammanco

The VTK ebuild uses cmake, and I think VTK is also used in paraview? 
So it might not be as hard as you think, if the VTK build does in fact
work.

Yes, Paraview is based on VTK, which also requires cmake, and there is 
indeed an ebuild for VTK.  You may also want to look at the ebuild for 
"octaviz", a project to run VTK from within octave:

I have used paraview a little myself.  I haven't taken the time to make 
an ebuild which compiles it from source, but I do have one that simply 
expands the pre-compiled tarball.  I can send it to you offlist if you like.

Hello Jonathan,

 what you said made me realize that indeed I can download the 
binary version. I simply skipped it and went straight to the 
src file. Gentoo deformation ;). Downloading just now.

 Indeed I just wanted to have a quick overview of the program,
in case I will come back and ask you the ebuild you kindly
offered.

Greetings

Hello. 

 Indeed the VTK works, as it is a dependency for 
mayavi (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50464).

 The problem is that the VTK ebuild seems complex,
means it will not be just an afternoon hacking. 
 
 I will put it in my long term plans.
