Hey guys, I've got a bit of a problem. I'm compiling OF 2.2.1 from the source on a cluster inside my home directory. The compilation goes without a hitch. I'm using the OpenMPI included with OF. After testing in my home directory, I decided to move it to another location so that other users can access it. These are the steps I followed to move the install...

1.) Copied OpenFOAM-2.2.1 and ThirdParty-2.2.1 folders to new location
2.) Updated the new install directory inside OpenFOAM-2.2.1/etc/bashrc
3.) Changed my .bashrc file to source the shared OpenFOAM install instead of the one I had in my home directory.

At this point I closed down the terminal and re-opened a fresh one and once again did some testing. Everything was working great until I deleted my local home directory install. At that point OpenMPI started to fail on parallel runs. After some investigation, I found that the link to mpicc was still referring to the old location. The command...

mpicc --showme:link

... yields the old location.

So my questions are...
1.) How do I fix this?
2.) Is there a way to fix this at compile time?

In previous OF installs I never had this issue. But it seems like there are multiple library files that get hard linked to the original install location in this implementation.

Thanks!

Greetings Brock,

Apparently there is a glitch somewhere in Open-MPI 1.6.3 that requires to have the following two variables defined manually:

export OPAL_PREFIX=/cluster/opt/OpenFOAM/openmpi-1.6.3
export OPAL_LIBDIR=/cluster/opt/OpenFOAM/openmpi-1.6.3/lib64

The paths are just an example.

It's possible that the problem is that it's thinking about "$OPAL_PREFIX/lib" instead of "$OPAL_PREFIX/lib64", when it uses the variable "OPAL_PREFIX" defined by OpenFOAM's environment scripts.

You can simply add the following line after the environment is ready:

export OPAL_LIBDIR=$OPAL_PREFIX/lib64
