[with spkg, needs work] Experimental ParaView Package

[jsp]

Paraview is based on VTK, comes with it's own implementation of vtk.

 http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView

From the wiki web site:

ParaView is an open-source, multi-platform application designed to visualize
data sets of size varying from small to very large. The goals of
the ParaView project include developing an open-source, multi-platform visualization
application that support distributed computational models to process
large data sets.
It has an open, flexible, and intuitive user interface.
Furthermore, ParaView is built on an extensible architecture based on open standards.
ParaView runs on distributed and shared memory parallel as well as single processor
systems and has been succesfully tested on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, IBM Blue Gene,
Cray XT3 and various Unix workstations and clusters.
Under the hood, ParaView uses the Visualization Toolkit as the data processing
and rendering engine and has a user interface written using the
Qt cross-platform application framework.

Dependencies:

cmake-2.4.8 or higher

OpenGL

Qt4

openmpi for multi processor usage.

Try it! See:

Im working on sage.math.

I tried to install and get:

./spkg-install: line 19: cmake: command not found
ls: cannot access /home/wstein/build/sage-3.4/spkg/installed/cmake-2.4.8: No such file or directory
Failed to find cmake-2.4.8  Install cmake-2.4.8 
or install cmake-2.4 or higher

real    0m0.118s

sys     0m0.000s

So please list cmake as a dependency.

I then install cmake and...

-- Check if system supports 64 bit streams
-- Check if system supports 64 bit streams - yes

Maybe you could at least get this to build on sage.math?

The discussion on google groups seems to be relevant here:

 http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel/browse_thread/thread/6094c90ac284edd/b8454dd45de731c4?lnk=gst&q=paraview#b8454dd45de731c4

I think this package as is will not build on sage.math.

A month ago I got the server version running on sage.math. So maybe we will have to make two spkgs: a desktop vesion and a server version.
