Dear All,

First time I try to install OpenFOAM 2.3.x on MAC OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 using the instructionhttp://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Installation/Mac_OS/OpenFOAM_2.3.x.

Although I am struggling since several days to set the port selection similar to tutorial, I have following errors during setting db:

First one:

sudo port select --set db db48
Selecting 'db48' for 'db' failed: The configuration file '/opt/local/etc/select/db/base' could not be opened

Second one:

sudo port select --set llvm mp-llvm-3.5
Selecting 'mp-llvm-3.5' for 'llvm' failed: The specified version 'mp-llvm-3.5' is not valid.

How can I fix these problems. Your help will be appreciated.

By the way my selection looks $port sure select --summary

Name     Selected               Options

llvm     mp-llvm-3.4            mp-llvm-3.4 none
mpi      openmpi-gcc48-fortran  mpich-mp-fortran openmpi-gcc48-fortran openmpi-mp-fortran none

python2  none                   python26-apple python27 python27-apple none

Thank you.

Dear Bruno,

Thank you very much for your kind reply. I have installed finally openfoam into this version of mac. It can be run both manual and parallel as well. However, I have 2 other problems, If you can help be I will be really appraciated.

First one is when I open new terminal and write icoFoam -help it shows following error:

-bash: icoFoam: command not found

to get rid of this error I should always go into OpenFOAM-2.3.x/ and then should run source etc/bashrc then it works: you can find my .bashrc as follows. How can I set it to work at every opening of terminal?

export WM_PROJECT=OpenFOAM

FATAL ERROR: ParaView reader module libraries do not exist

Please build the reader module before continuing:
cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV4Readers
./Allwclean
./Allwmake

To install the preview into mac i followed following link: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...OpenFOAM_2.2.2

Thank you in advance.

Hi Baris,

In the file "~/.bashrc" you should not have all of that content. The idea is to only have the content that you originally had and then to add the line related to sourcing the OpenFOAM environment, for example:

source /Users/wuguanghao/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.x/etc/bashrc

I don't have access to a Mac, so I don't know what is the default content of the file "~/.bashrc".

As for using paraFoam, the instructions are given here: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...w_Installation

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,

Thank you very much for your help. You are great man Finally successfully I have installed OF into my mac. After that a friend asked me to install OF into same version of his MAC. I have tried several times same way, however I am getting following error when I am installing mpirun-gcc48 or mpirun-gcc49. By the way I can't not install gcc48 but I was able to install gcc49. I don't know the reason. Could you tell me that How can I fix following problem and install mpirun:

Error: org.macports.build for port openmpi-gcc49 returned: command execution failed

/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org _release_tarballs_ports_sc ience_openmpi/openmpi-gcc49/work/openmpi-1.10.0/opal/mca/hwloc/base/hwloc_base_util.c:1482:13: error: 'HWLOC_OBJ_OSDEV_COPROC' undeclared (first use in this function)

Your help will make me so appreacited.

Thanks in advance.

Quick answer: I have no specific idea about this, because I don't have access to a Mac.
Nonetheless, I suspect that it has something to do with using OpenMPI 1.10, which is very recent and is possibly the reason for the problems you're having.

I'm currently advising people to follow the instructions given by Alexei, which relies in Homebrew instead of Macports: https://github.com/mrklein/openfoam-...ion-&-Homebrew

Hi,

I have the same problem when I want to install Openfoam on my macbook OS X 10.9.4

sudo port select --set llvm mp-llvm-3.5
Selecting 'mp-llvm-3.5' for 'llvm' failed: The specified version 'mp-llvm-3.5' is not valid.

Any help is highly appreciated

What is output of port select --summary? Presumably a version after 3.5 should work. (Myself, I have only 3.7 since installing 10.11)

Hi to all,

This is the tutorial which I have prepared how to install openfoam into MAC.

Hope it helps you.

Hi Windscin,
port select --summary

I'll try to install a newer version next week.

Thanks Shipman,
your tutorial looks very useful, I'll try it soon.

Ali: Looks okay so far, except that you don't have mp-llvm-3.7 selected, which I am guessing is irrelevant since the only alternative is none.

I used this setup:
Name Selected Options
==== ======== =======
cython none cython26 none
gcc mp-gcc49 mp-gcc49 mp-gcc5 none
llvm mp-llvm-3.7 mp-llvm-3.7 none
mpi openmpi-gcc49-fortran mpich-gcc49-fortran openmpi-gcc49-fortran openmpi-mp-fortran none
nosetests none nosetests26 none
python python27 python26 python26-apple python27 python27-apple none
python2 none python26 python27 none
wxWidgets none wxWidgets-3.0 none

I managed to get 2.3.x working with gcc49 and mp-llvm-3.7, but I also added WM_CC=/opt/local/bin/mpicc and WM_CXX=/opt/local/bin/mpicxx at the end of $HOME/OpenFoam/OpenFoam-2.3.x/etc/bashrc. (After verifying that the chain of symbolic links ended successfully. No kidding, at one point the chain broke and `which mpicc` said one thing, but mpicc -v said another.)

Then I used this hack to allow macport's flex (2.6.0) to work with the package:

% find . -name '*.L' -print

then for each file found above, change
#if YY_FLEX_SUBMINOR_VERSION < 34
to
#if YY_FLEX_SUBMINOR_VERSION < 34 && YY_FLEX_MINOR_VERSION < 6
and then the code will work properly with flex 2.6

I used gcc49 mostly because it saved me adding another compiler version, but also because it has memory safeguards not found in gcc48.

I trust you are installing on a case-sensitive filesystem? I.e., not the root filesystem -- which must be case insensitive or OS X breaks.
