OpenFOAM 2.2.2 failed in Mountain Lion

cymbourne · January 12, 2014, 17:43

Hi guys!

I've followed step by step this tutorial to install OpenFoam in mac (http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...OpenFOAM_2.2.2) and I'm getting some errors when I try to compile it. These are the errors I get in my .log file:

Quote:

gcc-mp-4.6 -O3 -DCOMMON_FILE_COMPRESS_GZ -DCOMMON_RANDOM_FIXED_SEED -DSCOTCH_RENAME -Drestrict=__restrict - DSCOTCH_VERSION=6 -DSCOTCH_RELEASE=0 -DSCOTCH_PATCHLEVEL=0 dummysizes.c -o dummysizes -lz -lm -lrt
ld: library not found for -lrt
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [dummysizes] Error 1
make[1]: *** [scotch] Error 2
make: *** [scotch] Error 2
+ make realclean

Any help will be much appreciated!
Cheers,

Greetings cymbourne,

A nearly identical problem occurred back in March 2013, as shown in posts #2 and #3 on this thread: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post412672

The problem was fixed by using the correct patch files, which are on post #4.

Therefore, the big question is: which were the exact patch files you downloaded and applied?

Best regards,
Bruno

Hello,

I am having problems buliding OpenFOAM-2.2.2 on my mac laptop running OS-X 10.8.4. I have followed the instructions on this web site, but I get many errors. The first error that occurs is:

make CFLAGS="-O3 -DCOMMON_FILE_COMPRESS_GZ -DCOMMON_RANDOM_FIXED_SEED -DSCOTCH_RENAME -DSCOTCH_RENAME_PARSER -Drestrict=__restrict -DCOMMON_TIMING_OLD -DSCOTCH_PTSCOTCH" CC="openmpicc" \
ptscotch.h \
ptscotchf.h \
libptscotch.dylib \
libptscotcherr.dylib \
libptscotcherrexit.dylib
openmpicc -O3 -DCOMMON_FILE_COMPRESS_GZ -DCOMMON_RANDOM_FIXED_SEED -DSCOTCH_RENAME -DSCOTCH_RENAME_PARSER -Drestrict=__restrict -DCOMMON_TIMING_OLD -DSCOTCH_PTSCOTCH -DSCOTCH_VERSION=6 -DSCOTCH_RELEASE=0 -DSCOTCH_PATCHLEVEL=0 dummysizes.c -o ptdummysizes -lz -lm
Cannot open configuration file /opt/local/share/openmpi-mp/openmpi/openmpicc-wrapper-data.txt
Error parsing data file openmpicc: Not found
make[2]: *** [ptdummysizes] Error 243
make[1]: *** [ptscotch] Error 2
make: *** [ptscotch] Error 2

I have applied all three patches and unfortunately, have no idea what is going on.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Peter.

It's evidently a problem with openmpi. Did you install Openmpi throught Macports? What version do you have?
Did you change the SYSTEMOPENMPI inside the etc/bashrc?

Code:

export WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI

wersoe · February 3, 2014, 19:42

Hi,

I got the very same problems.
I think it will be caused by openmpi from Macports:
"Error: openmpi has been made obsolete by the port openmpi-default. Please install openmpi-default instead."

Means, that openmpi was not installed at all...

I will try with the suggest version, however, right now it tries to install gcc48 as a dependency...

I guess it will be best to try it again from a scratch, will do this tomorrow.

Hi WERSOE!
I think I have the same problem with you.
Have you solved it? How to install openmpi?
Thank you.

wersoe · February 5, 2014, 10:52

Not yet solved...
I am at work and wont find time before the weekend I guess.

The problem is the new openmpi...

So, the solution should be either install the openmpi-default and find the location of the binaries and adjust all the neccessary config files for the OF compilation,

or,

use the openmpi from ThirdParty, however, here you have to adjust the config files too...

Keep on going...
Would be great if Bernhard or Ruben from here could help, since they originally created the patches and the wiki...

Hi.

I was able to fix this problem by editing the file OpenFOAM-2.2.2/wmake/rules/darwinIntel64Gcc46/mplibMACPORTOPENMPI and changing the following lines

Code:

PINC       = -I$(MPI_ARCH_PATH)/include/openmpi
PLIBS      = -L$(MPI_ARCH_PATH)/lib -lmpi

to

Code:

PINC       = -I$(MPI_ARCH_PATH)/../include/openmpi-mp
PLIBS      = -L$(MPI_ARCH_PATH)/openmpi-mp -lmpi

I've tried your method and a new problem occurred. Did you just follow the wiki and only changed the file?

Here's my first error.Do you know what's going on?

Code:

openmpicc -O3 -DCOMMON_FILE_COMPRESS_GZ -DCOMMON_RANDOM_FIXED_SEED -DSCOTCH_RENAME -DSCOTCH_RENAME_PARSER -Drestrict=__restrict -DCOMMON_TIMING_OLD -DSCOTCH_PTSCOTCH -DSCOTCH_VERSION=6 -DSCOTCH_RELEASE=0 -DSCOTCH_PATCHLEVEL=0 dummysizes.c -o ptdummysizes -lz -lm 
make[2]: openmpicc: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [ptdummysizes] Error 1
make[1]: *** [ptscotch] Error 2
make: *** [ptscotch] Error 2

larust · February 7, 2014, 11:41

Right. You might also need to add a couple of symlinks to the openmpi-default installation. I added two in /opt/local/bin

Code:

sudo ln -s mpicc-openmpi-mp openmpicc
sudo ln -s mpiexec mpirun

and then I added one in /opt/local/share/openmpi-mp/openmpi

Code:

sudo ln -s mpicc-wrapper-data.txt openmpicc-wrapper-data.txt

Code:

sudo ln -s mpicc-wrapper-data.txt openmpicc-wrapper-data.txt

There're still errors, but I don't think it's about openmpi.

Code:

Foam::volMesh> const&) in R.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [/Users/xqy/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.2/platforms/darwinIntel64Gcc46DPOpt/bin/R] Error 1
make[2]: *** [R] Error 2

Can anyone help me with this?

Last time I checked all the symlinks were already created by macports (it was missing just the mpirun).

I think that the patches should be edited. I contact Bernhard...

OpenFOAM 2.2.2 encountered compatibility issues on Mountain Lion, an older macOS version. Mountain Lion, released in 2012, had limited support for modern software due to its age and 32-bit architecture. OpenFOAM, a powerful computational fluid dynamics tool, likely faced issues with the older libraries and system components on Mountain Lion. In comparison, its size and requirements exceeded what Mountain Lion could efficiently handle, causing installation or execution failures. Users faced challenges running OpenFOAM 2.2.2 smoothly on this platform. To address this, upgrading to a more recent macOS version or utilizing a more compatible Linux distribution would be advisable for better performance and compatibility.
