Has anyone experienced similar issues upon upgrading to Mac OS 10.9?

I found out that my issue with running in parallel was related to having installed a third-party firewall software (DoorStop X). Disabling the firewall allows parallel computations without any problem. This seems to be purely an openmpi issue. I'm currently working with the openmpi guys to help resolve the issue.

Hi,

I'm using Mavericks on my machine and I have been having trouble installing OpenFOAM. I followed the steps on http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...OpenFOAM_2.2.2
up until step 4 of Section 4.2.

My OF directory looks different from what it should look like:

-rw-r--r--@ 1 suechen staff 2686 31 Jan 13:58 ThirdParty-2.2_Mac-20130309.patch

When I attempted to do step 5 (moving the patches into the right folders), I get the following error:

Sues-MacBook-Pro:OpenFOAM suechen$ mv OpenFOAM-2.2.x_Mac-20130309 OpenFOAM-2.2.2
mv: rename OpenFOAM-2.2.x_Mac-20130309 to OpenFOAM-2.2.2/OpenFOAM-2.2.x_Mac-20130309: No such file or directory

Could anyone advise me on what I've done wrong or what I could possibly do to go ahead with my installation?

Thanks heaps!

First,You created a wrong symlink inside the OpenFOAM space

Try, inside the directory you posted

unlink OpenFOAM-v2.2.2

You forgot a .patch (as suggested on the tutorial remember to use TAB for auto-completion)

mv OpenFOAM-2.2.x_Mac-20130309.patch OpenFOAM-2.2.2

PS: Embed terminal commands you use, in the forum post, inside [CODE] tags.

PPS: Corrected the mistake on the Wiki.

This to gschaider:

It seems they changed the executables names in the openmpi portfile on Macports.
If you can, when you can, can you check it and, if needed, update patches (in particular when the MPI variable is set to use the local openmpi installed version)?

I noticed.

The update struck me in the middle of some other work. I have the modified patches almost ready and will publish them on the weekend

OK. "Weekend". Of course I meant "Wednesday". Starts with a W, too.

At first: this is the last set of patches for 2.2 as this week 2.3 came out and experience has shown that 2.2.x won't change after that.

The two patches (OpenFOAM and ThirdParty) with dates in the name are the complete patches. For those who already have the latest patches applied there are 4 patches (one for ThirdParty, three for the distro) that can be applied separately (one patch will be in the next reply as the MessageBoard only allows a maximum of 5 attachements). Don't try to apply the full patch if you already have a patch installed as this will probably break (in the etc/*-files)

With these patches the new organization of MPI-installations in MacPorts is supported. By looking at /opt/local/bin/mpicc it will be determined which MPI-version (either a flavour of OpenMPI and MPICH) you are using. This will be used as the default (you can override this choice with the variable WM_CHOSEN_MAC_MPI). Beware that MPICH wants a flavour that fits the used compiler.

for WM_COMPILER you can choose (have to choose, otherwise the Apple-compiler will be used) GccXX (with XX being 48, 47 etc), ClangXX (XX is 35, 34, etc) or DragoneggXX (XX same as Clang. Dragonegg is a Gcc-frontend with LLVM-backend). The fitting compiler and MPI-implementation has to be installed via MacPorts (as described in http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...OpenFOAM_2.2.2)

I used OpenMPI and Gcc46 and tested compilation with Clang34 and Dragonegg34 and MPICH.

That solver was added on the 10th of November to the git repository. Check the release date of 2.2.2 (guess it is before that so the solver can't be init).
Tell patch to skip that file and everything should be fine

Hi,

In case anyone is interested, I could compile OpenFOAM 2.2.2 on Mac OS 10.9 using Homebrew instead of Macports and gcc 4.8. I basically followed the instructions on http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...OpenFOAM_2.2.2, with some modifications which I am outlining here. I'm not an expert, so some steps can certainly be improved (or skipped).

Install gcc48, openmpi, boost, cgal, ccache, flex and bison with e.g.

brew install boost

For gcc48, install with the option --enable-all-languages so that the corresponding gfortran also gets installed. Before installing openmpi, unset the environment variable FC.

export FC=

XCode ships with an older version of flex that should be (re)moved (the library does not compile with that version)

sudo mv /usr/bin/flex /usr/bin/flex_xcode

The latest version of flex should be linked into /usr/local/

brew link flex

Some changes in etc/bashrc are needed:

export WM_COMPILER=Gcc48
...
export WM_CC='gcc-4.8'
export WM_CXX='g++-4.8'

In etc/config/settings.sh, comment two lines in the section for users without Macports

echo "Seems you're not using MacPorts. This is currently not supported/tested. Find this line in 'etc/config/settings.sh', modify it accordingly and send patches to Bernhard"
# export WM_COMPILER=
# export WM_MPLIB=OPENMPI

and in the section 'location of compiler installation', add the block

    
    Gcc48)
        gcc_version=gcc-4.8.2
        gmp_version=gmp-5.0.4
        mpfr_version=mpfr-3.1.0
        mpc_version=mpc-0.9
        ;;

In the patch for the OpenFOAM distribution (e.g., OpenFOAM-2.2.x_Mac-20130309.patch), replace openmpicc by mpicc (openmpicc is for the MacPort openmpi).

Add a symbolic link for a flex header file so that OpenFOAM finds it.

ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/flex/2.5.37/include/FlexLexer.h $WM_PROJECT_DIR/src/OpenFOAM/FlexLexer.h

Add some more symbolic links in $WM_PROJECT_DIR/wmake/rules:

ln -s darwinIntel64 darwinIntel64Gcc
ln -s darminIntel64Gcc48 darwinIntel64Gcc

In the following subdirectories of $WM_PROJECT_DIR, delete commented lines in Make/options files that make the preprocessor stall (though this may have been addressed in newer patches).

src/fvOptions
applications/utilities/miscellaneous/foamDebugSwitches, 
applications/utilities/postProcessing/dataConversion/foamToEnsight
applications/utilities/mesh/generation/snappyHexMesh
applications/utilities/mesh/manipulation/renumberMesh

Finally, in applications/utilities/postProcessing/turbulence/R, add the lines

-lincompressibleTurbulenceModel \
-lcompressibleTurbulenceModel \

I hope this can help!

Cheers,
Adrien

Thanks for the patches- I'm shell-preliterate so please excuse what may be a simple question:

I've been following the OpenFOAM installation instructions for 2.2.2 found here.

I'm good up 'till step #9 where I get the error

-bash mpicc: command not found

I'm assuming that the
newMacPortsMPIThirdParty.patch &
newMacPortsMpi.patch
patches you posted may deal with this problem. The question from me then is: where (in what folder) do I apply these patches?

Also, in searching for a solution I came across this discussion which seems to deal with some similar problems (I had a similar problem as described in #5 and installed openmpi-default). It was suggested (#10) that a few other symlinks could be created, which I did to no effect. For spits'n'giggles I attempted to create a symlink between mpicc and mpicc-openmpi-mp... which wasn't allowed.

Anyways... if you can point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

With the "full" patch at http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post475723 the "newMacPorts"-patches are already included. These are only for the people who already have a patched installation.

The symlink mpicc that points to the "used" MPI-implementation is administrated through "port select mpi" (you'll have to sudo). Check "port help select" for usage. I was under the impression that MacPorts does this automatically for the first mpi you install but I might be wrong. And I have no way of checking without deinstalling/reinstalling half of the MacPorts-stuff on my notebook. You'll have to experiment.

Anyway: only set those symlinks with "port select". Everything else will lead to problems during later upgrades

[bweeks]

Thanks for that.

The only choice available was for 'openmpi-mp-fortran'

...fortran(!?)

dug around the web some more and found that users had been given the following message when they installed openmpi-default:

+--- OpenMPI Usage note ----
| The mpi[cc|cxx|f77|f90] weappers are installed as
| mpi[cc|cxx|f77|f90]-mp. To make openmpi-default the default (i.e. the
| version you get when you run 'mpicc/mpicxx'), please run:
|
| sudo port select --set mpi openmpi-mp-fortran
+-------------------------

Did as you (and this message) advised and moved on to wrestling with compiling errors.

Sweet.

Thanks again for generating the patches and maintaining this thread.

Hello Again-

I was running into too many problems compiling, so I scrapped the whole thing and started over fresh.

I'm installing the Latest OpenFOAM patch from #108 and I get the following errors.

Hunk #1 FAILED at 228.

4 out of 4 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file src/OpenFOAM/db/dynamicLibrary/codedBase/codedBase.C.rej

Should I be concerned? I'm attaching the .rej file.

Thanks again.

What version of OF are you patching? I think the changes that it patches only are in more recent version of 2.2.x but not in the releases
