Hi to everyone

I trying with no success to install the OpenFOAM 1706 to Fedora 26 although I have managed to install the 3rd party software normally (Paraview 5.4 is working), I stuck with the main code compilation. In case you want to help you may find attached the log file .

I will appreciate any help in this issue.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

In general this error happens, when you build OpenFOAM with 64-bit ints and Scotch was built with 32-bit ints. So label type in long int, while SCOTCH_Num is int.

I guess, you have system-wide installed Scotch, which uses 32-bit ints and has higher priority in include paths. And since the only -I flag before third-party scotch is -I/usr/include/openmpi-x86_64, this 32-bit-int Scotch is in /usr/include/openmpi-x86_64.

Dear Alexey

Thank you for your answer but I really need your help to overcome this situation e.g to compile the 64-bit version of Scotch. I am not so familiar with Linux.
Indeed the first time I tried to compile with total success the code according to OpenWikki web pages I forgot to put the WM_LABEL_SIZE=64 flag at the .bashrc file in order to set up the compilation environment. At the continue when I realized this I deleted all the folders and recompiled all with the above flag. The Paraview is working well but OpenFOAM has not being compiled.

Thanks once again

Hi,

Let me try to better understand your answer, right now it is rather strange.

- You are not so familiar with Linux.
- OF-v1704 does not support Fedora (or to be more precise ESI does not provide binaries for anything except Ubuntu). BUT you DO want to use OF-v1704 on Fedora (if you are not so familiar with Linux, why not chose Ubuntu?).
- You would like to compile OF with label = int64_t, cause your meshes are ENORMOUSLY HUGE and 2147483647 as maximum value of index is not enough for you.
- You do not know what is installed on you system (i.e. you just want to copy-past guide).

If all statements above are correct, then, unfortunately, I won't be able to help.

OK Alexey

I don't understand why you are so aggressive but I am not going to comment yours answer anymore.
I am not so familiar with Linux, but I intent to be!!! Where is the strange?
Reading, searching on web and posting here, somehow and sometime I will find a way to reach my target!!!
If you didn't want to help, you could just drop it and to carry on

So, It is not a big deal

Have a nice day!!

Finally the problem solved and the compilation was accomplished
I have just turned to system's installed libraries

cd $WM_PROJECT_DIR
bin/tools/foamConfigurePaths -boost boost-system -cgal cgal-system -scotch scotch-system
wmRefresh

To be helped follow the very informative post
