Quick answer: That means that MPICH is the default MPI toolbox. You will have to readjust the option "WM_MPLIB" in the files "etc/bashrc" and "etc/settings.sh".
Then start a new terminal and run Allwmake once again, as given in the installation instructions.

Hi Bruno,


I have made the modification in "bashrc" file by setting "WM_MPLIB=MPICH". I am not sure about what modifications have to be done in "settings.sh" file but did some editing based on guess work (I am attaching the file here, please let me know what is the problem with it).


With these changes being done, I could build the Paraview with success. When I tried to Allmake the OpenFoam the following error is shown.


Code:
    Installation complete for paraview-5.0.1
    Now update the environment by running:
        wmRefresh
    ---

Done
administrator@admin-pc:~/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-4.1$ wmRefresh 
administrator@admin-pc:~/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-4.1$ cd $WM_PROJECT_DIR
administrator@admin-pc:~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-4.1$ export QT_SELECT=qt4
administrator@admin-pc:~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-4.1$ ./Allwmake -j 4
Compiling enabled on 4 cores
gcc -m64 -Dlinux64 -DWM_ARCH_OPTION=64 -DWM_DP -DWM_LABEL_SIZE=64 -Wall -O3   -fPIC dirToString.c -o /home/administrator/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-4.1/wmake/platforms/linux64Gcc/dirToString

     static void yyunput (int c, char * yy_bp )

lex.yy.c:1294:16: warning: ‘input’ defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
     static int input  (void)
                ^

========================================
Start ThirdParty Allwmake
========================================

========================================
Build MPI libraries if required

+ cd /home/administrator/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-4.1/mpich2-1.1.1p1
/home/administrator/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-4.1/Allwmake: 123: cd: can't cd to /home/administrator/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-4.1/mpich2-1.1.1p1
+ exit 1
Please let me know what can be done to correct the error in installation.




Thanks

Quick answer: Sorry, not enough time to give a detailed answer, but I forgot that the MPI settings are now configured in the file "etc/config.sh/mpi". Look for "MPICH" in that file and adjust the paths accordingly. Can be seen here: https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM...ig.sh/mpi#L123


Essentially "MPI_HOME" and "MPI_ARCH_PATH" should point to "/usr/local", if I'm not mistaken.

Hi Bruno,


Thank you for all the help. Finally it is successfully installed and running (I linked MPI_HOME to the installed directory of mpich-3.3a2 (version in my system). The following are the modifications I made to the "etc/config.sh/mpi" file.




MPICH)
export FOAM_MPI=mpich-3.3a2
export MPI_HOME=/home/administrator/mpich-3.3a2
# export MPI_ARCH_PATH=$WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/platforms/$WM_ARCH$WM_COMPILER/$FOAM_MPI

_foamAddPath /bin

# 64-bit on OpenSuSE 12.1 uses lib64 others use lib
_foamAddLib lib$WM_COMPILER_LIB_ARCH
_foamAddLib lib

_foamAddMan /share/man
;;
