Hello all,

When I try to run blockMesh for the cavity tutorial case I found some errors (as mentioned at the end) is that because of gcc compiler or with the sourcing OpenFOAM installation!?

error..

blockMesh: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.1' not found (required by blockMesh)

I would try the following:
Install "libstdc++.so.6", install gcc and gcc-c++, and check that you have sourced OpenFOAM in your ~/.bashrc with ". $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5/etc/bashrc".

Hello Raghavendra,
The listing is explicit enough:

WARNING: gcc version does not match gcc supplied with this release of OpenFOAM
Supplied version: 4.3.1
User version : 3.4.4
Minimum required: 4.2.0

gcc 3.4.4
WARNING: Conflicting installations:
OpenFOAM settings : /bin/gcc
current path : /usr/bin/gcc
CRITICAL ERROR

This means you have a too old gcc compiler. In fact it is so old that I don't think you will be able to compile even a newer compiler with it (like gcc 4.3.3).

@ Dragos and Gijsbert

Thanks for the replies..
I will contact the system admin and make sure new version of gcc compiler will be installed.

Thanks again for the support

Regards
Raghavendra
