Lookup Error on reading OpenVDB sample files

[rogers]

Hi,

 I was trying to read some of the openVDB sample files available on the download page. I am trying to open the vdb file using the following code, and was hoping to make some modifications to the grid data.
 

  openvdb::io::File file("utahteapot.vdb");
  file.open();

I get the following error on execution,

cannot read metadata "Creator" of unregistered type "string"
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'openvdb::v0_102_0::LookupError'
  what():  LookupError: Cannot read grid. Grid type Tree_float_5_4_3 is not registered.
Aborted

 I have tried some of the other samples, and I get similar errors. Any pointers to how I can fix the error?

Thanks.

Try calling openvdb::initialize() first.

That fixed it.

Great, thanks for bringing this issue to our attention ... we've updated the "cookbook" in v0.103.0 to avoid similar confusion in the future.
