kokizzu is on a distinguished road
Is it possible to install OpenFOAM without MPI at all (IntelMPI, OpenMPI, etc)?

Because I only need to use it on single computer.. (run it on Xeon Phi)

Hi kokizzu,

I don't know which installation procedure you're using, but I guess the easiest way is this:
  1. Edit the file "etc/bashrc" inside the main OpenFOAM-2.* folder.
  2. Search for this line:
    Code:
    export WM_MPLIB=OPENMPI
  3. Then change it to this:
    Code:
    export WM_MPLIB=
  4. Save and close the file.
  5. Start a new terminal, in order to make sure the shell environment is up-to-date.
Now you can try and build OpenFOAM, without MPI.

Best regards,
Bruno

I've tried that, but still the first error shows that it requires mpi.h

is it really mpi.h needed to build openFoam?

Hi kokizzu,

I've finally managed to test this myself, namely to build OpenFOAM 2.3.0 without MPI.
What seems to happen is this:
  1. The error related to "ptscotchDecomp" can be ignored, because it needs the "libptscotch" library, which in turn needs MPI. In other words, if the MPI toolbox won't be used, then you also don't need to redistribute a mesh in parallel.
  2. Regarding the problem with CGAL: something strange happened when it was built. Run the following commands, to try and isolate the problem:
    Code:
    cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR
 
./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1
    Once it finishes running, check what went wrong during the build of CGAL.
  3. If nothing went wrong in #2, then try this:
    Code:
    #update the shell environment
wmSET $FOAM_SETTINGS

#Go into OpenFOAM's main source folder
cd $WM_PROJECT_DIR
 
# build once again
./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1

Keep in mind that since you won't be using MPI, then in theory, you also won't need to decompose your cases.

Best regards,
Bruno
