Compiling ParaView with F14

[Azrael3000]

Hi all,

I'm pretty new to the Fedora world (coming from Ubuntu) and I really like it here so far. Now I unfortunately need to compile ParaView myself so that I can install the pvmeshless plugin. I have done that a few times before on Ubuntu machines. Now I read that I might run into problems due to qt4.7 (4.6 is supported by PV). Anyhow I don't even come to that stage since I can't enable python support. The error I get is:

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:70 (MESSAGE):
Could NOT find PythonLibs (missing: PYTHON_LIBRARIES PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIRS)
Call Stack (most recent call first):
VTK/CMake/FindPythonLibs.cmake:102 (FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS)
CMake/ParaViewCommon.cmake:403 (FIND_PACKAGE)
CMakeLists.txt:236 (INCLUDE)

I have the following python packages installed:

Are you sure that you have to compile paraview yourself ?

It is available via yum

yum list | grep paraview

to have a look

If you must compile it yourself check that you have the following installed

PHP Code:

desktop-file-utils
boost-devel
cmake
doxygen
expat-devel
freetype-devel
gnuplot
graphviz
hdf5-devel
libtiff-devel
mesa-libOSMesa-devel
mpich2-devel
openmpi-devel
openssl-devel
python-devel
qt-assistant-adp-devel
qt4-devel
readline-devel
tk-devel
wget
zlib-devel

Thanks Steve, this list is really useful. Unfortunately I really do have to compile it myself. In the meantime I managed to compile PV (without Python) but I started a build with Python. Although I haven't yet seen if it works, I'm fairly confident. PV doesn't seem capable of detecting Python2.7, as a general solution do the following:
Switch Python support on
Configure (c key)
Press t to go to advanced mode
Look for the python library and python include line
For include write: /usr/include/python2.7
library: /usr/lib/libpython2.7.so
Configure (c key)
Any warning should be gone now (except the QT 4.7 warning which you can ignore).

There is also a well known bug with ffmpeg. To avoid that one add
-D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS
to the CXX_Flags option.

I now only have a problem with this pvmeshless compilation but I doubt that anybody else uses this here. Anyway I'll report back as soon as it is solved for future reference.
