I'm sorry, I didn't realize the text of this message had for some reason not copied off my computer!
In any event, my question regarding the compilation of fireFoam is as follows:

Hi All!

I used makaveli_lcf's method for installing OpenFOAM 1.7.1 on 12.04 (found here) without any problems, but then when I tried to install the "newest" fireFoam from here I am receiving a strange compilation error when calling ./Allwmake in my downloads folder.

My understanding was that if I got OpenFoam 1.7.1 installed correctly, I should be able to install fireFoam from anywhere and then just drop it into /opt/openfoam171/.. once it had compiled.

Thanks for your help!

Note that I have already ensured that my bashrc file is correct

$ tail -1 ~/.bashrc
. /opt/openfoam171/etc/bashrc

and that from the command prompt I can run OpenFoam commands

$ icoFoam -help

Usage: icoFoam [-parallel] [-case dir]  [-help] [-doc] [-srcDoc]

So I am not really sure what the problem is. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!

You are running Allwmake with sudo, which changes your environment to that of root. Run 'sudo env' so you see what I mean; none of your openfoam variables will be defined in the sudo environment. Try sudo -E env PATH=$PATH ./Allwmake if you must build as root. If you can, just build as a regular user.

Thanks for your reply kev4573!

I guess I misunderstood what I needed to do. I was able to compile fireFoam by calling calling ./Allwmake and it seemed to run just fine.

Now though, when I try to run test cases from the testBatteryFireFOAM sub directory, I am receiving fatal errors when I attempt to run the test cases.

Any thoughts on the matter? Thanks again for your help!

Greetings to all!

This has already been addressed on another thread. Please start reading here: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post366527 post #7
It doesn't hurt if you read the posts before that as well

Best regards,
Bruno

Thanks for the clarification Bruno!

I appreciate the help! I will definitely read that thread and install 1.7.x instead of 1.7.1.

Update: So I attempted to install 1.7.x based on the link here as recommended by Bruno. I ran ./Allwmake in the subfolder of of my home folder where OpenFOAM resides.

About an hour in, the compilation seems to end, but the last result is troublesome:

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/angel/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.x/applications/utilities/thermophysical/mixtureAdiabaticFlameT'

I have made sure that I have the most recent version of the git repository:

$ git log -1

Author: mattijs <mattijs>
Date:   Thu Jul 14 22:08:27 2011 +0100

And that I am using a version of gcc-4.4 as I have read that using a newer version of gcc can cause issues:

$ gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.4.7-1ubuntu2) 4.4.7

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I try to solve this problem!

[wyldckat]

OK, took me a while to test this. Follow these instructions: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...u#Ubuntu_12.04 - but adapt where necessary for 1.7.x.

Dear buddies
I want to know what is the combustion models available in firefoam. would somebody plz hint me?

[trinath2rao]

Hi,

I have compiled firefoam succesfully but while running the case from tutorials.I am facing problem with fatal eror.

can anyone suggest me where am i going wrong

below is the error :
