Good morning. I am experiencing a similar issue in my case.

I was following the instroctions from the website: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...oam-extend-3.2. and all I get after a couple of hours build is "command not found error" while trying to execute for example icoFoam.

I am usnig Ubuntu 16.04 x64 and to be quite honest I installed it for the sake purpose of using OpenFoam (ver 3.0.1 works perfectly fine) and FoamExtend and feel quite helpless while reading thru logfile

Because the tarball exceeds the filesize limit I hosted the file on my OneDrive and shortened the link with google URL shortener:
https://goo.gl/3ZU8vG

The log itself has around 15MB and the tarball is around 900kB

Thank You

I want to install foam extend 3.2 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
the methods for 14.04 or 15.10 are not succeeding.


Also, Is there any way i can use Paraview 5.0.0 using paraFoam command in fe32?

Thank You very much!!

Did you get to install fe32 in 16.04??

[JMosiezny]

Nope. I postponed the task of building FE3.2 after posting here.

Luckilly I doscovered that on OF version 3.0.1 has embedded MRF Properties in rhoPimpleFoam solver and for now I don't need FE3.2

I think I will reach for someones support for this topic in person while OFW11.

Best Regards

Fortunate for you!!

Well i have solved the issue.
I built FE3.2 in 14.04 in other machine and copied all the data in my machine(16.04) and did proper aliasing and Environment Setting.

Fortunately, this is working fine for me. FE32 is working now in 16.04.

though, can't manage to call Paraview 5.0 using paraFoam command.

[wyldckat]

Quick answer: I've tested and added the instructions here: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...u#Ubuntu_16.04

The missing critical detail is that the following command has to be executed before running Allwmake this:

find src applications -name "*.L" -type f | xargs sed -i -e 's=\(YY\_FLEX\_SUBMINOR\_VERSION\)=YY_FLEX_MINOR_VERSION < 6 \&\& \1='

edit: As for ParaView 5.0, it's easier to install the binary package and follow the idea that is given here: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/blo...-openfoam.html

Follewed appended wiki page on 16.04. I have the following problem.

Hello All,

I had no chance to test the procedure for foam-extend-3.2 but...

I got my hands to foam-extend-4.0 and managed to build the software according to the instructions for version 3.2. The compilation is really quick: in my case 5hrs compared to overnight build for fe-3.2.

Best Regards.
JJ

Hello,

I can't find foam-extend-4.0, where to download foam-extend-4.0 ?

regards,

T.D.

Quick answer: "nextRelease" branch of foam-extend 3.2. 4.0 it's still on a pre-release state, which was released for the OFW11.

1. Use one of the git clone commands from here: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...om_source_code - and rename the final name to "foam-extend-4.0"
2. Then go into the "foam-extend-4.0" folder and run:
   

   git checkout nextRelease

This 'sed' hack also works on fedora 22.

Thanks Bruno.

[wyldckat]

Hi Dan,

Any chance you could also provide the list of system packages you used in Fedora 22? Did you use the same ones from some other instruction list or did you already had the packages you needed installed?

Best regards,
Bruno

[sihai]

I resolve the 'libmpi.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory' problem by using your method after updating to 16.04, thanks a lot!

I didn't have to install any 'extra' packages for fe-3.2 on this box, though I've been using this box for OpenFOAM simulations going back to 2.1.x.

The general steps I took to get fe-3.2 built on this box.

https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...om_source_code
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/foam-extend/foam-extend-3.2
edit etc/bashrc, etc/settings
copy etc/prefs.sh-EXAMPLE tp etc/prefs.sh
edit etc/prefs.sh (already have OpenMPI, CMake, Python, HWLOC, Paraview, bison, flex, Qt)
find src applications -name "*.L" -type f | xargs sed -i -e 's=\(YY\_FLEX\_SUBMINOR\_VERSION\)=YY_FLEX_MINOR_V ERSION < 6 \&\& \1='
sed -iold -e "s=\-liberty==" wmake/rules/*/general

The libmpi.so issue should not appear if you set up the system openmpi properly in bashrc and prefs.sh. It works for me on Debian Stretch with package libopenmpi2. Here's how libmpi.so is linked in the system installation:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmpi.so -> /etc/alternatives/libmpi.so
/etc/alternatives/libmpi.so -> /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/openmpi/lib/libmpi.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/openmpi/lib/libmpi.so -> /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/openmpi/lib/libmpi.so.20.0.2 (this is the actual library, the others are just symbolic links).

Here's my fe4.0 setup (works for fe-3 as well)...

In bashrc:

# For AllMake.stage2
#export WM_THIRD_PARTY_USE_OPENMPI_188=1
export WM_THIRD_PARTY_USE_OPENMPI_188=0
.
.
.
# WM_MPLIB = SYSTEMOPENMPI | OPENMPI | MPICH | MPICH-GM | HPMPI | GAMMA | MPI | QSMPI | MVAPICH2
#: ${WM_MPLIB:=OPENMPI}; export WM_MPLIB
: ${WM_MPLIB:=SYSTEMOPENMPI}; export WM_MPLIB

Note that whatever you write in bashrc is usually overridden by the prefs.sh options and I haven't tested whether the 188 statement is really necessary, but I'd rather be consistent if only to show clearly in all setup files we're using the system openmpi.

Now in prefs.sh:

export WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI
export OPENMPI_DIR=/usr
export OPENMPI_BIN_DIR=$OPENMPI_DIR/bin
#
export OPENMPI_LIB_DIR="`$OPENMPI_BIN_DIR/mpicc --showme:libdirs`"
export OPENMPI_INCLUDE_DIR="`$OPENMPI_BIN_DIR/mpicc --showme:incdirs`"
export OPENMPI_COMPILE_FLAGS="`$OPENMPI_BIN_DIR/mpicc --showme:compile`"
export OPENMPI_LINK_FLAGS="`$OPENMPI_BIN_DIR/mpicc --showme:link`"
.
.
.
#
# For AllMake.stage2
#export WM_THIRD_PARTY_USE_OPENMPI_188=1
#export WM_THIRD_PARTY_USE_OPENMPI_188_ConfigureAdditionalArgs='--enable-mpi-cxx --with-verbs'
