I have just updated my system and freshly installed a clean ubuntu 16.04. I can't manage to install dakota. A few years ago i was able to compile dakota v5 with the hints on the openfoam wiki. Is there still a problem with shared libaries?
The pre-compiled versions of v6 do not work and I am not advanced enough to build it from source myself. Could someone give me some hints on how to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated, since dakota will really help me in the long run.

Hi I'm also trying to install Dakota on Ubuntu 16.04.
However when I run dakota -v I get the following error:

dakota: error while loading shared libraries: libmpi.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Is it possible to install it on Ubuntu 16.04?
Thanks!

Hi,
Here is the step by step to install dakota 6.4.0 in Ubuntu 16.04

Warning: Dakota 6.4 and Foam won't work together by this built. i'm figuring out what happen.
Update: Instead of exporting PATH in bashrc file in step 10 below, I put them in /etc/environment then restart machine.And problem's gone

$sudo nano /etc/environment
insert PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

1. Install some necessary packages:

sudo apt-get install gcc g++ gfortran cmake cmake-curses-gui libboost-dev libboost-all-dev libblas-dev liblapack-dev libopenmpi-dev openmpi-bin openmpi-doc xorg-dev libmotif-dev

Explain:

• GNU 4.8 compilers: gcc g++ gfortran
• CMake 2.8.12: cmake cmake-curses-gui
• Boost: libboost-dev libboost-all-dev
• Linear Algebra: libblas-dev liblapack-dev
• OpenMPI: libopenmpi-dev openmpi-bin openmpi-doc
• X Windows: xorg-dev libmotif-dev
• Python (optional): Python development dependencies (if using direct Python interface): python-dev, and python-numpy if you'd like a NumPy interface.

2. Create the installation directory ($DAKOTA), and copy DAKOTA source code on it.

3.Extract file in terminal.

tar -xzf dakota-6.4.0-public-src.tar.gz

4. Create and go to dakota-6.4.0 folder

cd DAKOTA
mkdir dakota-6.4.0
cd dakota-6.4.0

5. Copy file BuildDakotaTemplate.cmake and rename it to BuildDakotaCustom.cmake. You can edit some features if you want, check the content inside for detail.

cp ~/DAKOTA/dakota-6.4.0.src/cmake/BuildDakotaTemplate.cmake ~/DAKOTA/dakota-6.4.0.src/cmake/BuildDakotaCustom.cmake

6. Run ccmake

ccmake -C ~/DAKOTA/dakota-6.4.0.src/cmake/BuildDakotaCustom.cmake ~/DAKOTA/dakota-6.4.0.src -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/DAKOTA/dakota-6.4.0

• Cmake shows a simply GUI and when you enter in ccmake, first press the key "c" to configure the script.
• If any error appears, go to the last line to check. If no, press "e" to return the main GUI.
• In main GUI, press "t" to toggle some features. Now you can move down and up the cursor. You can turn ON and OFF the features by press Enter.
• Go down, find BUILD_SHARE_LIBS and turn it OFF (by default: it's turned ON). We turn off this since it conflicts with a library in OPENFOAM (libsampling.io).
• You also can move down to check the HAVE_X_GRAPHICS feature ON or OFF. This function shows a graph when u run dakota.
• All finish, press "c" again to configure all scripts. If no error appears, you can press "e" to back to the main menu.
• Finally press "g" to start generating the configuration.

7. Run make (The -j options is to compile in parallel, in this case I am compiling with 4 processors.)

make -j4

8. Install

make install

9. When you finish the compilation, do not forget to add the following environment variables to your .bashrc file.

gedit ~/.bashrc

10. Add the following lines at the end of bashrc and save.

export PATH=~/DAKOTA/dakota-6.4.0/bin:~/DAKOTA/dakota-6.4.0/test
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/DAKOTA/dakota-6.4.0/bin:~/DAKOTA/dakota-6.4.0/lib

11. Test by typing: Dakota -v. The version number and build date should appear on the terminal.

This all steps based on the hint by Dakota and the guide by Joegi in wikifoam.

Best regards,
B.Chien.

Quick note: I've added a link to the this thread here: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...n_Ubuntu_16.04

I could not edit my post in #3.

If you follow this guide, in step 10. The correct path in bashrc is:

export PATH=$PATH:~/DAKOTA/dakota-6.4.0/bin:~/DAKOTA/dakota-6.4.0/test
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:~/DAKOTA/dakota-6.4.0/bin:~/DAKOTA/dakota-6.4.0/lib

So you no need to add the PATH in environment as I mentioned in the warning.

Reply on this topic if you get any trouble, I'm very glad to help you.

I followed your step on Ubuntu 14 but still is not working.

Best,

Greetings to all!

Several months ago while I was developing the image for the OFW11 USB stick, I used the pre-built Dakota 6.3 with Ubuntu 15.10.

Today I've re-adapted and updated the instructions for Dakota 6.3 to 6.5 and tested it on Ubuntu 16.04, all documented here: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...y_Installation

@CFD-Lover: Please test the instructions for the Dakota version that you prefer and please let us know if this works for you as well or not!

Best regards,
Bruno

Quick questions:

1. Did you follow the instructions given in section "3.1 libmpi.so.1 not found" at the wiki page? Namely here: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...so.1_not_found
2. What does the following command give you?
   

   ls -l /etc/alternatives/libmpi.so

[muhmt.cvk]

thank you ıt Works fine now

[hiuluom]

in the step 10 make problem with bash command, so the path should insert like this:

export PATH=~/DAKOTA/dakota-6.4.0/bin:~/DAKOTA/dakota-6.4.0/test:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/DAKOTA/dakota-6.4.0/bin:~/DAKOTA/dakota-6.4.0/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

For whoever joins the party late like me,

I successfully compiled the newest version of Dakota 6.10.0 with Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS by following the guidance of chienfm (post # 3) and hiuluom (post #11).

Dakota version 6.10 released May 15 2019.

Greeting to All above,


I followed the advice given or post #3 and of wyldcat's thread http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...n_Ubuntu_16.04



First following advice in post #3, I tried to build the latest DAKOTA 6.10 in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. It showed an error while configuring the script ( step 6 of post #3). The error I recieve is

"

CMake Error at /usr/lib/cmake/Boost-1.71.0/BoostConfig.cmake:182 (boost_find_component):
boost_find_component Macro invoked with incorrect arguments for macro
named: boost_find_component
Call Stack (most recent call first):
/usr/share/cmake-3.10/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:242 (find_package)
CMakeLists.txt:362 (find_package)
"
this further does nothing while generating the script. I have no idea how to correct it. Can someone please guide where i made the mistake and how to correct it?


2) Following Wyldcat's thread I did not recieve any error but writing the command dakota6100 ( I used 6.10.0 so changed the varibale name from dakota650 to 6100)
it says dakota command not found. Neither it loads dakota while starting with a new terminal!




any suggestion as how to solve any of these problems. thanks in advance!

I guess that error from CMake might be due to recent version of boost libraries. To overcome that, try to invoke cmake as follows:

cmake -DBoost_NO_BOOST_CMAKE=ON ..

Following the initiative of randolph (post #12), I'd like to report that I managed to build dakota 6.13.0 on ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS, by following the guidance of chienfm (post # 3) and hiuluom (post # 11).

Output generated by executing dakota -v:

Dakota version 6.13 released Nov. 16 2020.
