Hello all,

I am trying to install foam-extend-4.1 on an HPC. The operating system is CentOS 6.10, with g++ version 4.9.4 2015.
I don't have the required permissions, so I asked them to compile foam-extend for me. However, it gives lots of errors and doesn't compile properly.

I have attached two output files which they gave me.
Most of the errors are of this form:

It seems that some files are not located where they are supposed to be; and there are some command line options that are unrecognized by the compiler.
However, this is the standard version of foam-extend-4.1 and I didn't change anything in it.

I honestly don't know much about this stuff and can't figure out what's going on. Any help on how to resolve this issue would be much appreciated. Really need to get this going.

Many thanks,
Arman

Hi,

Looks like you have run into a gcc requirement issue. Here is what I found at openfoamwiki for foam-extend 4.1 install

CentOS comes with the gcc toolchain 4.8.5, which is not compatible with foam-extend-4.1 (but is the correct one for foam-extend 4.0). Foam-extend-4.1 requires the gcc toolchain 7

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Antimony

Dear Antimony,
Thank you for your reply.

I have already gave the link to the HPC host and they told me that devtoolset-8 was used for the compilation.
Anyway, I think that as you mentioned, foam-extend-4.1 may not be compatible with CentOS 6.10.

Therefore, I tried installing foam-extend-4.0. This time, the second type of error about "unrecognized command line option" did not occur.
However, the first error type still remains:

The output files are attached below.

As far as I have understood, it is a problem with the system RPM checking RPATHs. I found in some forums (i.e. here and here) that removing the entry "/usr/lib/rpm/check-rpaths" from "~/.rpmmacros" file would solve the problem. But I could not locate such a file on the remote system.

I am not familiar with these settings and I don't know what to do.
I would appreciate if anyone could help me out on this.

Thanks
