Summary0012852: Paraview 3.12.0 fails to build against protobuf 2.4.1
DescriptionThis is a repost of http://paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=12718 [^] since I found out how to switch project types in the bug report.

If I build without protobuf installed, it passes configuration, but then later I get the error:
[ 84%] Generating vtkPVMessage.pb.h, vtkPVMessage.pb.cc
/build/src/ParaView-3.12.0/build/bin/protoc: error while loading shared libraries: libprotoc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

which causes:
fatal error: vtkPVMessage.pb.h: No such file or directory

If I install protobuf 2.4.1 on my system and try to compile, I get the following error:
[ 84%] Building CXX object ParaViewCore/ServerImplementation/CMakeFiles/vtkPVServerImplementation.dir/vtkPVSessionBase.cxx.o
In file included from /build/src/ParaView-3.12.0/ParaViewCore/ServerImplementation/vtkSMMessage.h:30:0,
                 from /build/src/ParaView-3.12.0/ParaViewCore/ServerImplementation/vtkPVSessionBase.cxx:22:
/build/src/ParaView-3.12.0/build/ParaViewCore/ServerImplementation/vtkPVMessage.pb.h:12:2: error: #error This file was generated by a newer version of protoc which is incompatible with your Protocol Buffer headers. Please update your headers.

It seems that the configure script should be configured to add support for detecting if protobuf is installed and maybe regenerating the headers if a newer version is installed. I'm building this on archlinux.

I have the same error on Ubuntu Linux with cmake 2.8.6
"error while loading shared libraries: libprotoc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

I think one way to fix this would be to add LD_LIBRARY_PATH to protoc command.
Here is a relevant cmake file
CMake/ParaViewMacros.cmake
http://paraview.org/gitweb?p=ParaView.git;a=blob_plain;f=CMake/ParaViewMacros.cmake;hb=HEAD [^]

FUNCTION (protobuf_generate out_cpp_file in_proto_file)
  GET_FILENAME_COMPONENT(basename ${in_proto_file} NAME_WE)
  GET_FILENAME_COMPONENT(absolute ${in_proto_file} ABSOLUTE)

I think this particular bug can be closed as paraview does build against protobuf 2.4.1 and 2.5.0.

This should be closed as indicated by Orion.
