[ParaView]: Unable to start pvserver application due to missing library. #4

Closed sherinsugathan closed 1 month ago

sherinsugathan commented 2 months ago
  1. Start a fox desktop session in EduCloud OnDemand without GPUs.
  2. Download https://www.paraview.org/paraview-downloads/download.php?submit=Download&version=v5.13&type=binary&os=Linux&downloadFile=ParaView-5.13.0-RC2-egl-MPI-Linux-Python3.10-x86_64.tar.gz
  3. Extract and cd into ParaView-5.13.0-RC2-egl-MPI-Linux-Python3.10-x86_64/bin
  4. run ./pvserver

Error: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

Additional Information: Note that this issue don't happen in ML nodes (probably because the required package is already installed).

Potential Solution: Need to install relevant packages inside the desktop provisioned in EduCloud? I am not sure, but dnf install libxcrypt-compat might help?

@Sabryr I would like to get some help on this issue. Should I message buzh directly ?

I will have a meeting with buZh, but this issues is the precompiled binary. We need to find correct libraries to load (that are linked). I will check

Solution: Development can easily continue while running paraview in headless mode. For this, we don't have to start paraview, but instead running pvserver ((no missing lib errors)) is enough. Closing this issue as the blocker is resolved.
