Hello,

I tired to install VisIt on my fedora 18, but I failed
https://computing.llnl.gov/vis/visit.shtml

Would it be possible to have this package compiled for fedora?

Thank for your help.

You may try to inform us what the failures were and then someone can
help you.

I can't speak for fedora, but in general, you need a proper license
(which this package may have) and a volunteer.

Sure,
Ranjan


PS: The INSTALL instructions on your package are erroneous. I tried the
following instead:

%cmake  CMakeLists.txt 

Complained of VTK.

I think you may want to install

sudo yum install vtk-devel

and then try your luck.

I gave up because vtk-devel installs 303 MB worth of files. Which I am
not interested in.

You could also try running the script that is suggested by the package
developers.

HTH,

Thanks again!
Ranjan

unlikely because this crap does not find cmake which is for sure used
for mariadb/mysql on my build machines and due directly using "cmake ."
in the SPEC file it stops with this messages after install "vtk-devel"
while "qt-devel-4.8.4-17.fc18.x86_64" is installed for "cantata"

however, you may start with the SPEC file below
