I just build and installed paraview. It shows up correctly in the application launcher, and launches just fine when run that way. But when I run paraview from terminal, I get an error: paraview: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/libvtkRenderingMatplotlib-pv5.12.so.1: undefined symbol: PyTuple_Type

The .desktop file that is generated for paraview uses just paraview to launch, with no arguments fed in. How could it possibly work when run via the .desktop file, but not via the terminal? Based on this question, it appears that there's different environment variables. This solution doesn't work for me though, the program isn't a text editor, and the /tmp/env.launcher file doesn't exist. I'm on Pop_OS! 22.04

  • Does your terminal environment contain a LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable? Commented Jan 29, 2024 at 2:51
  • Yes, and it includes /usr/local/lib Commented Feb 2, 2024 at 1:29
  • Right - so when you run it using the launcher, it's likely finding the correct "system" version of the library instead of your locally-installed one Commented Feb 2, 2024 at 1:39
  • But I built it against the locally built one, or at least I ran the build from my shell with that LD_LIBRARY_PATH that should've been used in the build Commented Feb 4, 2024 at 4:20
