Hi All:
Due to interface smearing in micro-Tube spontaneous imbibition problems in the recent OpenFOAM versions versus good simulation with OpenFoam2.2 and foam-extend3, I preferred to install OpenFoam2.2 in my home directory as addition to openfoam2.4, extend-4, 4.x and five. However, I got the ./Allwmake bug shown in the inserted file.
Any suggestion?
Thanks

Quick note: Not knowing which Linux Distribution and version you are using, limits our ability to fully diagnose the issue.

Quick answer: The critical error was this:

/home/ali/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.2/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/lib/libtriSurface.so: undefined reference to `yyFlexLexer::yywrap()'

Solution is provided for example at http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...u#Ubuntu_16.04 - namely:

11. Now, before we can build OpenFOAM, we need to do a few fixes:

#Go into OpenFOAM's main source folder
cd $WM_PROJECT_DIR

#Change how the flex version is checked
find src applications -name "*.L" -type f | xargs sed -i -e 's=\(YY\_FLEX\_SUBMINOR\_VERSION\)=YY_FLEX_MINOR_VERSION < 6 \&\& \1='

Run those commands and then run Allwmake once again.



Side note: Many thanks to roenby for reminding me of this in OpenFOAM 2.3.0 ubuntu 16.04 - post #5

Hi Bruno :-
I would like to mention that, although that is a successful way of installing OpenFOAM, the run file will not be created and will not be accessed from the terminal by "run"!

Thanks Bruno for getting back quickly!
I have Ubuntu 16.04 and installed OpenFoam2.2 beginning from the article 2.7 of the link https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...u#Ubuntu_15.10

After following your recommendation, I did:-

#Go into OpenFOAM's main source folder
cd $WM_PROJECT_DIR

#Change how the flex version is checked
find src applications -name "*.L" -type f | xargs sed -i -e 's=\(YY\_FLEX\_SUBMINOR\_VERSION\)=YY_FLEX_MINOR_V ERSION < 6 \&\& \1='


Then continued from step 9 of the aforementioned link. So, everything went fine until the successful installation to the last step. However, when I hit run in the terminal, it will not run due to not having an ali-2.2.0\run folder inside my home directory and instead, I have the folder OpenFOAM-2.2.2 inside my home directory as shown in the inserted picture.
Hope that makes sense.

For OpenFOAM 3.0 and older (including OpenFOAM+ and foam-extend):

echo $WM_PROJECT_DIR/doc/Guides-a4/UserGuide.pdf

Read the start of chapter 2 and follow the commands given there.

If it doesn't work, run:

echo $FOAM_RUN
echo $WM_PROJECT_DIR

and tell us what these two commands gave you.

Hi Bruno:-
I run your last two lines and got the following:-
ali@ali-HP-ENVY-TS-15-Notebook-PC:~$ echo $FOAM_RUN
/home/ali/OpenFOAM/ali-2.2.2/run
ali@ali-HP-ENVY-TS-15-Notebook-PC:~$ echo $WM_PROJECT_DIR
/home/ali/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.2
ali@ali-HP-ENVY-TS-15-Notebook-PC:~$ run
bash: cd: /home/ali/OpenFOAM/ali-2.2.2/run: No such file or directory
ali@ali-HP-ENVY-TS-15-Notebook-PC:~$

Hallo,

Did you create run directory using command?:

mkdir -p $FOAM_RUN

then "run" command will work just fine!

Ricky
