Dear Foamers,

I am trying to compile the source pack of OpenFOAM 5, but encountered an error:

---------------------
lnInclude/zlib.h:33:25: fatal error: linux/zconf.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
---------------------

Please help how to get rid of this annoying error?

Best,
Hossein

Quick questions:

1. Which Linux Distribution and version are you using?
2. Which installation instructions are you following?

Dear Bruno,

Thanks for your consideration. Actually, I had copied zlib.h in OpenFOAM directory to fix the problem of paraview compilation. By removing this file OpenFOAM 5.0 was compiled very well.

However, I still have problem in using paraview 5.4. In spite of complete compilation of paraview, when I input 'paraFoam' in OpenFOAM 5.0, the following error appears in my terminal:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
FATAL ERROR: ParaView reader module libraries do not exist

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

Do you know which mistake I made during the compilation of paraview? Hope to hear from you soon.

Best,
Hossein

Quick answer: Run the commands that the error message tells you, in order to build OpenFOAM's add-on reader:

cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PVReaders
./Allwclean
./Allwmake

Thanks for your reply Bruno.

As you mentioned, I followed the commands:

cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PVReaders
./Allwclean
./Allwmake

It solved the last error but, I still have problem with paraFoam. When I run it, the following error happens:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
libprotobuf FATAL /home/hossein/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-5.0/ParaView-5.4.0/ThirdParty/protobuf/vtkprotobuf/src/google/protobuf/stubs/common.cc:62] This program requires version 2.6.0 of the Protocol Buffer runtime library, but the installed version is 2.3.0. Please update your library. If you compiled the program yourself, make sure that your headers are from the same version of Protocol Buffers as your link-time library. (Version verification failed in "/build/mir-ui6vjS/mir-0.26.3+16.04.20170605/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/src/protobuf/mir_protobuf.pb.cc".)

It relates to libprotobuf, do you know how I can fix it?

Best,

Quick answer: That error message is identical to the one reported here: https://bugs.openfoam.org/view.php?id=2673

In the last comment, you will see my report on why this happens and how to fix it.
