Hello,

I would like to install foam-extend-3.1 on a cluster using the system mpi and intel compiler in the system.

I made the following change in etc/baschrc:

1. foamCompiler : System
2. WM_COMPILER: Icc
3. WM_MPLIB: SYSTEMMPI

I made the following change in etc/setting.sh:

SYSTEMMPI)
export FOAM_MPI=mpi
export MPI_ARCH_PATH=/opt/apps/intel14/mvapich2/2.0b/
;;
I also made change the wmake/rules/Linux64Icc/c according to https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM...s/linux64Icc/c

I am still seeing the following error:

+ WM_OPTIONS=linux64IccDPOptSYSTEMMPI
+ wmake libso mpi
linux64IccDPOptSYSTEMMPI/options:1: /work/02813/jzb292/foam/foam-extend-3.1/wmake/rules/linux64Icc/mplibSYSTEMMPI: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/work/02813/jzb292/foam/foam-extend-3.1/wmake/rules/linux64Icc/mplibSYSTEMMPI'. Stop.
wmake error: file 'Make/linux64IccDPOptSYSTEMMPI/objectFiles' could not be created

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I solved my issues.

Could you say how?

His messages are 3 years old, so I'm not sure if you can get a reply but what was missing at that time:

 linux64IccDPOptSYSTEMMPI/options:1:  /work/02813/jzb292/foam/foam-extend-3.1/wmake/rules/linux64Icc/mplibSYSTEMMPI:  No such file or directory

When one changes the settings to

${WM_MPLIB:=SYSTEMMPI}

then OF needs to have access to a file called "mplibSYSTEMMPI" under the "wmake/rules/linux64....." that provides linking options to the compiler.


Now, for someone who uses Intel MPI, it is not necessary to define "WM_MPLIB" as SYSTEMMPI even though technically it is true. But it is not needed simply because there is already a file called "mplibINTELMPI" with the correct content (of course you need point to the MPI_ARCH_PATH using sth. like I_MPI_ROOT). Alternatively, you can copy mplibINTELMPI as mplibSYSTEMMPI which will probably work fine but look a bit sloppy imho.
