Hi Robert,<br><br>It worked. adding the other file listed under my Files components="M" xml block solve the error when the plugin manager tries to loader the plugin.<br><br>So I went and try to load my file in ParaView ... but this is what I got....<br>
<br><br>sms:/local/home/build/paraview-plugin/gfdl-paraview-loader-build> paraview<br>/local/home/tools/ParaView/ParaView-3.10.0/sms.Linux-2.6.18-194.26.1.el5.x86_64.gcc-4.1.2.release/lib/paraview-3.10/paraview: symbol lookup error: /local/home/build/paraview-plugin/gfdl-paraview-loader-build/libVisItReaderGFDL.so: undefined symbol: nc_inq_attlen<br>
<br><br>The question now is, where in ccmake can I specify for the plugin when it is compiling to also include libnetcdf.a libhdf5_hl.a libhdf5.a libsz.a libraries? Which variable do I add the libraries to? my ccmake only show three variables when the toggle advanced mode is Off (CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE, CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, and ParaView_DIR). When I turn on the advanced mode, it gave me many many more... but going through the list, I am also not sure which cmake variable to use. <br>
<br><span style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">vtkVisItReaderGFDL.cxx is attached and it with generated after I added the second file into my CMakeLists.txt. I hope the file is not too big for the list. </span>if it is, it is also included at the bottom of this email.<br>
<br>thank you for your help<br><br>best,<br>-simon<br><br><br>/*=========================================================================<br><br> Program: ParaView<br> Module: vtkVisItReaderGFDL.cxx<br><br> Copyright (c) 2005,2006 Sandia Corporation, Kitware Inc.<br>

Hi Simon,<br>
<br>
You do not need to place the CMakeLists.txt inside ParaView at all to<br>
build a plugin. You just need to set that folder as the source folder<br>
for CMake, and set a different directory as the plugin build<br>
directory. After that you will need to set ParaView_DIR to your<br>
ParaView build directory.<br>
<br>
I would also look over: <a href="http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Plugin_HowTo" target="_blank">http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Plugin_HowTo</a> for<br>
my information on building plugins.<br>
