[foam-extend.org] core dumped for foam extended 3.2 on Ubuntu 16.04

qjh888 · September 15, 2016, 09:26

Hi Foamers,

Recently I've install the foam -extended 3.2 on Ubuntu 16.04.
However, when I run the cases and tutorials, all of them crashed with no reason core dumped.
For example:

Code:

uqjqi@uqjqi:~/Desktop/work/11_09_2016_Stage$ icoFoam

can anybody help me out?

Quick answer: Your description is a bit inconsistent, because you mentioned that the tutorial cases crash, but then you provide the output for a case that is not part of the tutorials.

Please provide the output you get when you run one of the foam-extend 3.2 tutorials cases.

And/or please provide the file "system/controlDict", in which I'm guessing that you have a "libs" entry there that is forcing to load libraries that were last built for another version of foam-extend or OpenFOAM.

Hi Bruno,

Thanks for your reply!

Quick answer: Please run this command:

Code:

ldd $(which MRFSimpleFoam)

and let me know of what it outputs.

In addition, the output of the following command is also useful:

Code:

export

Quick answer: ldd did not show anything out of the ordinary. It's linking to "libnuma.so", which I wasn't familiar with, but I guess it's due to the machine you have, namely if you have a multi-socket workstation/server.

Nonetheless, you forgot to also post the output from the export command that I asked for. If the output is too long, you can run:

Code:

export > log.export
gzip < log.export > log.export.gz

and then attach the file "log.export.gz" to your next post.

Quick answer: I took a look into this during this past weekend and I wasn't able to figure out a reason for this problem that you're getting.
My best guess right now is that there is something installed in the user folders.
Try the following commands, to see if they list any suspicious libraries of applications:

Code:

ls -l $FOAM_USER_LIBBIN
ls -l $FOAM_USER_APPBIN

Because beyond this, the only other thing that comes to mind is that the compiler messed up somehow...

Although, now that I think about it, what exact installation instructions did you follow?
And did you make any changes besides what the instructions indicated?

Hi Bruno,

Thanks for your reply.
Yes I think I use multiple gcc version when I installed it.
Because the default gcc version for 16.04 is 5.4, but the SIG density based solver requires gcc 4.6 to compile it.

So, after I install foam extend 3.1, I shifted to gcc 4.6 to compile the SIG density based solver, then, failed.

I think all the foam extend or the third party solvers should be installed within constant version of gcc and g++...

Thanks very much!
Janry

Quick answer: Yes, it's strongly advisable to use the same GCC version for building everything... I had no way to diagnose that this was a possible reason, unless I had done some wild guessing

... out of a few more dozen possible reasons...

Anyway, it's excellent that you've managed to pick up the origin of the problem!

It's linking to "libnuma.so", which I wasn't familiar with, but I guess it's due to the machine you have, namely if you have a multi-socket workstation/server. Nonetheless, you forgot to also post the output from the export command that I asked for. If the output is too long, you can run: Code: export > log.export gzip < log.export > log.export.gz and then attach the file "log.export.gz" to your next post.
