Dear Users,

I set up my computer with openSUSE 42.1 and followed the instructions at
https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...oam-extend-4.0 and
https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...d-4.0/openSUSE
to install foam-extend-4.0.

During first installation I receive error messages concering the applications directory, for example:

/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.8/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lfoam
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
/home/peter/foam/foam-extend-4.0/wmake/Makefile:159: recipe for target '/home/peter/foam/foam-extend-4.0/applications/bin/linux64GccDPOpt/surfaceMeshImport' failed
make[2]: *** [/home/peter/foam/foam-extend-4.0/applications/bin/linux64GccDPOpt/surfaceMeshImport] Error 1
/home/peter/foam/foam-extend-4.0/wmake/MakefileApps:39: recipe for target 'surfaceMeshImport' failed
make[1]: *** [surfaceMeshImport] Error 2

After Installation, foamInstallationTest gives me the following output:

For this reason I can't use blockMesh, icoFoam etc. (/applications/bin/linux64GccDPOpt/ folder remains empty).
Anyone has a hint how to solve the problem?

Kind regards,

Greetings icab and welcome to the forum!

Please run the following commands:

fe40
foam
./Allwmake > log.make 2>&1

gzip < log.make > log.make.gz

Then please attach the file "log.make.gz" to your next post, so that we can examine the error messages that show up during the build.

Best regards,
Bruno

Dear Bruno,

I also faced the same problem for installing foam-extend-4.0 with openSUSE system. I attached my wmake file here.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Noémie

Many thanks for providing the log file!
It's now clear that the problem was that Open-MPI was not found.

I have updated the wiki pages recently for all foam-extend versions, regarding openSUSE, where the one for foam-extend 4.0 is this one: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...#openSUSE_42.1

The update is regarding the need to use the following command before sourcing foam-extend's shell environment:

source /etc/profile.d/mpi-selector.sh

This is always needed until you have rebooted or logged out and logged back in yet. Which means that you need to run the following commands when you start a new terminal, to activate foam-extend 4.0:

source /etc/profile.d/mpi-selector.sh
fe40

Then for building the missing features in foam-extend, try running again the following commands:

foam
./Allwmake > log.make 2>&1

gzip < log.make > log.make.gz

Best regards,
Bruno

Dear Bruno,

Thank you very much. I redo everything from the very beginning and there is no more this error. After running foamIstallationTest, I got the following message:

I think this error is not due to the problem of this thread. And ti works even with this error. I will do further look to get rid of this error.

Thank you again.

Hi Noémie,

You can ignore that error message. That script has not been updated/fixed in foam-extend, which is why it's giving that error.

Best regards,
Bruno
