I have freshly installed Kubuntu 18.04 and want to install several OF versions on it. Hence i installed all the dependencies using apt-get to not use unnecessary double installs under ThirdParty for every version. I changed the following files in config.sh: FFTW CGAL metis scotch with the following small changes:

fftw_version=fftw-system 
boost_version=boost-system
cgal_version=cgal-system
METIS_VERSION=metis-system
SCOTCH_VERSION=scotch-system

However I get the following result via grep skip log.Allwmake

    WARNING: skipping pt-scotch - no mpi or <scotch.h> not found
  Using fftw-system (skip ThirdParty build of FFTW)
==> skip ccmio (no header)
==> skip optional libccm adapter
==> skip scotch (missing library)
==> skip metis (no header)
==> skip randomProcesses library (no FFTW)
==> skip SloanRenumber (no boost)

WARNING: skipped - needs a VTK or a ParaView installation
==> skip dnsFoam solver (no FFTW)

WARNING: skip ParaView Catalyst (missing or incorrrect ParaView)
  skip wmake target for modules doxygen directory

I tried changing "export FFTW_ARCH_PATH=...." several times to see if I need to also give the full path, but this didn't seem to help. The OpenFOAM version compiled just fine without those, but I'd like to add them without having them inside the ThirdParty folder. Can someone tell me what I am missing?

Could open an issue on gitlab (https://develop.openfoam.com) and post some settings there? This could be a more direct way to solve things. It could be that the packages install in various scattered locations without a common prefix, below which it can find the corresponding include and lib dirs. Could also be something else.
