Summary

The runTimePostProcessing (vtk/images) is unavailable in the ubuntu package (openfoam2006-default).

Steps to reproduce

Install the ubuntu package and try to run any case that includes the visualization function object example.

Example case

$FOAM_TUTORIALS/incompressible/pisoFoam/LES/motorBike

What is the current bug behaviour?

When the solver is run, it shows a warning concerning the runTimePostProcessing: VTK was not compiled in. No output images are created.

What is the expected correct behavior?

runTimePostProcessing working, creating output images.
