Dear Foamers,

I am trying to install OpenFOAM 18.12 on Ubuntu 18.04 (64 bit)..


I get this:

Quick questions: Is this the very first error message that you are getting?

I ask this because it's very strange that you would only get this error on this solver...

Which MPI version is being used here? You can check by running this command:

mpirun --version

[samiam1000]

About the command

mpirun --version

, the output is strange:

                -x <envlist>    Export environment vars in <envlist>

Nodes:          n<list>, e.g., n0-3,5
CPUS:           c<list>, e.g., c0-3,5
Extras:         h (local node), o (origin node), N (all nodes), C (all CPUs)

Examples:       mpirun n0-7 prog1
                Executes "prog1" on nodes 0 through 7.

                mpirun -lamd -x FOO=bar,DISPLAY N prog2
                Executes "prog2" on all nodes using the LAMD RPI.  
                In the environment of each process, set FOO to the value
                "bar", and set DISPLAY to the current value.

                mpirun n0 N prog3
                Run "prog3" on node 0, *and* all nodes.  This executes *2*
                copies on n0.

                mpirun C prog4 arg1 arg2
                Run "prog4" on each available CPU with command line
                arguments of "arg1" and "arg2".  If each node has a
                CPU count of 1, the "C" is equivalent to "N".  If at
                least one node has a CPU count greater than 1, LAM
                will run neighboring ranks of MPI_COMM_WORLD on that
                node.  For example, if node 0 has a CPU count of 4 and
                node 1 has a CPU count of 2, "prog4" will have
                MPI_COMM_WORLD ranks 0 through 3 on n0, and ranks 4
                and 5 on n1.

                mpirun c0 C prog5
                Similar to the "prog3" example above, this runs "prog5"
                on CPU 0 *and* on each available CPU.  This executes
                *2* copies on the node where CPU 0 is (i.e., n0).
                This is probably not a useful use of the "C" notation;
                it is only shown here for an example.

Defaults:       -c2c -w -pty -nger -nsigs

Since the compilation error, please see the attached file.

Hi Bruno,

I solved that issue by installing MPI again..

Now, I am getting a different error (see attachement).
Any hint?



Thanks,
Samuele

[wyldckat]

Quick answers:

1. So the wrong MPI version was being used... mpirun pointed out that LAM was being used, instead of Open-MPI, hence the compilation problem.
2. The error messages aren't complete in the log file, but try the following commands, which hopefully will clear up the issues and ambiguity in the error messages:
   

   wclean $FOAM_SOLVERS/basic/laplacianFoam
   wmake all $FOAM_SOLVERS/basic/laplacianFoam > log.make.laplacian 2>&1
   gzip < log.make.laplacian > log.make.laplacian.gz

   • The "2>&1" will redirect the error messages into the standard output, so that this way everything is logged into the file "log.make.laplacian".
3. Then attach the file "log.make.laplacian.gz" to your next post.

[samiam1000]

Thanks Bruno.

Attached, the file.


All the best,
Samuele

Quick answer: Why is LAM still being used as the default MPI toolbox... that is why you are still getting that error... oh, wait, it's because you had compiled OpenFOAM v1812 with LAM at first, but something went wrong and Open-MPI started to be picked up...

OK, I guess it's best to clean things up a bit and rebuild with Open-MPI. Hopefully the following commands will do the trick:

cd $WM_PROJECT_DIR

ln -s /usr/bin/mpicc.openmpi bin/mpicc
ln -s /usr/bin/mpirun.openmpi bin/mpirun

wclean all src/Pstream

wmRefresh
./Allwmake -j 4 > log.make 2>&1

Replace the "4" on the last line with the number of cores your machine as got, or a few cores fewer if there isn't enough RAM to match as many cores as you've got... I usually use the ratio of 1.5GB per core is needed to build in parallel, so 4 cores would need 6GB of RAM.

Once the last command finishes, you will have the complete output listed inside the file "log.make". Hopefully it builds properly this time.

[samiam1000]

It works properly and solved the issue.
Thanks a lot Bruno.

Could you help, please?


Thanks,

Quick answer: I've moved your post from the ParaView forum to the thread you had already created for OpenFOAM-v1812, given that it's part of the same building process.

The problem is that Qt5 is needed. I haven't tried building OpenFOAM-v1812 on Ubuntu 18.04, but I did with OpenFOAM-v1806 and instructions are written here: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...u#Ubuntu_18.04

You need to do the following steps from those instructions:

• Step 1
• Step 3
• Step 5
• Then finally Step 10

Hi everyone,


I have just spend some time on the Paraview installation. I would like to follow up on the post by wildcat on how I proceeded with the Qt5 installation.



1) I have installed "qt5-qmake" using the command
sudo apt install qt5-qmake


2) Now you need to tell the system to use Qt5:
export QT_SELECT=qt5


3) When you execute:
./makeParaview in the thirdparty directory!

my system told me that I was missing some packages. However it is not clear from the message what you should install.



Let just say you get this.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:14 (find_package): By not providing "FindQt5Core.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5Core", but CMake did not find one. Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5Core" (requested version 5.0) with any of the following names: Qt5CoreConfig.cmake qt5core-config.cmake Add the installation prefix of "Qt5Core" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "Qt5Core_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "Qt5Core" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.
__________________________________________________ ________________________________________________


So it cannot find Qt5CoreConfig.cmake. How do we fix this?



Follow these steps:



3.1) sudo apt update


3.2) apt-file search Qt5CoreConfig.cmake


3.3) It should now return a message similar to the following:
qtbase5-dev: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/Qt5Core/Qt5CoreConfig.cmake


3.4) So we need to install qtbase5-dev. This is done with the command:
sudo apt install qtbase5-dev


3.5) Now you can run your the paraview compilation again:
./makeParaview



If you get a new error message, you should repeat step 3.2) to 3.5) searching for the new missing file.


My installation is now 70 % through, so I think this fixed my issues.



I hope this can help you guys!

OK, I guess it's best to clean things up a bit and rebuild with Open-MPI. Hopefully the following commands will do the trick:

cd $WM_PROJECT_DIR

ln -s /usr/bin/mpicc.openmpi bin/mpicc
ln -s /usr/bin/mpirun.openmpi bin/mpirun

wclean all src/Pstream

wmRefresh
./Allwmake -j 4 > log.make 2>&1

Replace the "4" on the last line with the number of cores your machine as got, or a few cores fewer if there isn't enough RAM to match as many cores as you've got... I usually use the ratio of 1.5GB per core is needed to build in parallel, so 4 cores would need 6GB of RAM.

Once the last command finishes, you will have the complete output listed inside the file "log.make". Hopefully it builds properly this time.

my god man thank you... I was literally at my wits end just going to give up...
