Hello again John,

Somehow, it looks like your gcc compiler is not compatible with your host linker "/usr/bin/ld".

Did you installed a pre-compiled version of gcc 4.0.1? If so, did you get it from a RedHat RPM, or did you install the pre-compiled version from OpenCFD?

Just as a test, can you compile and link a simple "hello World" program using your gcc 4.1.0 compiler?

If you installed a pre-compiled version of gcc, and/or if you cannot compile and link a simple C or C++ program, I would suggest you take another look at this section:
http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Howto_compile_O penFOAM#Compiling_and_installing_GNU_Gcc

Good luck.

Martin

Hi, Martin,

It is nice to "see" you again. I did compile gcc-4.1.0 according to the instructions on your Wiki and I used "which g++" and it showed "/home/liux/OpenFOAM/linuxAMD64/gcc-4.1.0/bin/g++".

Then I compiled a little code:

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout<<"Hello! World\n";
return 0;
}

and it gave out the following error message:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot open crtbegin.o: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I will check the gcc compilation again.

Thanks and have a nice weekend!

Best Regards,

John

Hi John,

I will check on my side as well.

Looks like there is something missing from the recompilation instructions.

Later.

Hello John,

I went on a AMD64 Redhat Enterprise System to test the recompilation instructions for gcc, and guess what? I could not even compile gcc!

I got stuck on a strange "ld" error message right in the middle of recompiling gcc. Could not go any further with the default RedHat installation...

This never happens to me on a SuSE or Debian platform, or even on our x86 RedHat Enterprise workstation; looks like the standard RedHat installation is a tad different for x86_64...

So here is what I did:

We already know that OpenCFD has compiled OpenFOAM 1.3 on a SuSE 10 platform using gcc 4.1.0.

Looking up rpmfind.net, we can see that SuSE 10 is shipped with binutils 2.16.91.

On our RedHat Enterprise AMD64 workstation, we have binutils-2.15.92.0.2-18 installed.

So, since the problem is somehow related to "/usr/bin/ld", and since "ld" is provided by the binutils package, I decided to first do a full local installation of the latest version of GNU binutils from the GNU ftp site (binutils-2.16.1.tar.bz2).

Once binutils 2.16 is fully compiled and installed locally, you need to make sure your PATH will point first to the local installation of binutils 2.16 when looking for "ld" (verify by checking "which ld" on the command line).

Then, I followed the recompilation instructions for gcc from the OpenFOAM Wiki Howto. Using the brand new version of "ld", I was able to completely recompile gcc/g++ from the source archive.

Once the brand new gcc compiler installed, I tried to compile your little "Hello World" test program, and everyting went smoothly, compilation, linking, and, of course execution of the program.

So, it seems that gcc 4.1.0 do needs a very recent version of "ld" on a RedHat Enterprise x86_64; at least it did on our RedHat machine.

I will update the recompilation instructions on the OpenFOAM Wiki in order for you to try that solution by yourself. I sure hope this will solve your problem.

Later,

Martin

Martin,

I followed your instruction on Wiki to install binutils 2.16.1 and gcc-4.1.0. binutils installation went except a little error during configuring. I put it here:

I did use "which ld" and it pointed to the right location. Can you help with this issue?

John

I did try to use g++ (checked to make sure it is 4.1.0) to compile the little and it returned with a link error:

/home/liux/OpenFOAM/linuxAMD64/binutils-2.16.1/lib/../x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/b in/ld: crtbegin.o: No such file: No such file or directory

Hi John,

For binutils:
configure:2293:18: mpfr.h: No such file or directory

You need to have the package gmp-devel installed.

For gcc:
Looks like you are missing other development packages as well.

Do you have glibc-devel installed?

Do you have enough space in the partition where you are compiling gcc?

Martin

Martin,

I checked gmp-devel and glibc-devel by using "rpm -qa" and they do exist (qmp-devel-4.1.2-5 and glibc-devel-2.3.2-95-33).

I have enough disk space in my home directory (~24GB).

I tried to install binutils-2.14 and the error in config.log went way. Then I tried to compile gcc-4.1.0, but got the similar configure error when I tried to run the comfigure command according to your Wiki. I then installed gcc-3.4.6 and the configure error was no longer there.

However, I still got the similar errors during the compilation as follows. I think there might be some environment variables were not set up properly.

John

John,

What is the output for the following commands on your AMD64 Redhat Enterprise System:

uname -a

and

cat /proc/version

Martin,

Here is the information:

John,

The workstations I have been using for OpenFOAM 1.3 are all based on some variations of the Linux 2.6 kernel.

And all of the different steps specified in the HowTo has been tested using those machines.

I have access to an older RedHat workstation running a Linux 2.4 kernel. It's a x86 workstation though, not a AMD64 like yours.

After verification, on that machine, the include file mpfr.h is missing from the gmp-devel, and the installed version for gmp-devel and glibc-devel are slightly older than yours.

So maybe I will stumble over the same problems you have if I try recompiling binutils and gcc 4.1.0 over there ...

I'll keep you posted.

Martin

[mbeaudoin]

Hello again,

The recompilation procedure is valid for a standard RedHat workstation running a Linux 2.4 kernel (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7, x86). The same on a SuSE system running a 2.4 kernel.

On both systems, I was able to completely recompile binutils-2.16.1 and gcc-4.1.0. I was then able to compile your little "Hello World" program and make it run.

The only little adjustment I had to make was to adapt my LD_LIBRARY_PATH for this test. But you don't have to do this with OpenFOAM, the command source ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.3/. OpenFOAM-1.3/cshrc will take care of that.

The recompilation procedure is working for a large set of Linux based OS: RedHat, SuSE, Debian, 2.6 and 2.4 kernels, x86 and x86_64 variants.

I don't know why it is not working on your system. It should. I am all out of answers.

Some remarks to help you go a little bit further:

1: A strange error message from your LAM configuration:
OPwrite.C:32:17: error: mpi.h: No such file or directory

This cannot happen if you source your ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.3/. OpenFOAM-1.3/cshrc before starting ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.3/Allwmake.

You either:
a: have a syntax error in one of your config file.
b: you are sourcing ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.3/. OpenFOAM-1.3/cshrc in one window, and starting ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.3/Allwmake in another.

Basic stuff, I know, but you need to verify this, and I would really explore that "missing mpi.h" problem first...

2: To make sure your problem are not related to a specific setting with your own default environment variables, try using another "user" or login account on your machine for recompiling OpenFOAM.

3: Finally, if you can, try recompiling on another x86_64 machine. Maybe your RedHat installation is screwed up somehow.

I honestly don't think you need to explore solution #2 and #3.

Resolving the missing "mpi.h" file issue should help you get back on the right track.

Good luck!

Martin

Martin,

I compiled mpfr2.2.0 and let the configure point to the newly installed mpfr by using "--with-mpfr=PATH" when I run "configure" commands for binutiles-2.16.1 and gcc-4.1.0. This has solved missing "mpfr.h" issues and I was able to install binutils-2.16.1 cleanly.

For gcc-4.1.0, I passed configure stage. But the error messages still exist when I run make bootstrap. It looks like some packages are still missing.

Martin,

I did try to install binutils-2.16.1 and gcc-4.1.0 on a 32bit Pentium PC with Redhat 2.6 kernel. The information is as follows:

I did not have any issues with mpfr.h and binutils-2.16.1 installation was clean. I got the same errors as above mentioned (crtbegin.o, etc.). It looks like our linux system is screwed up somehow.

Thank you again for the great help. I do appreciate it very much. I will keep looking into this issue.

John,

I had the missing "mpfr.h" issues on my Linux 2.4 kernel based systems as well.

The configure scripts are simply exploring the basic Linux installation in order "pick and choose" the available components.

You can recompile both binutils-2.16.1 and gcc-4.1.0 without mpfr.h

I did last night on an "older" 2.4 kernel based RedHat 8 workstation.

Martin

[jhierroa]

I have also had problems with flex. The debian system that I was using had version 2.5.31.

I had to downgrade to 2.5.4 in order to prevent some "yy_current_buffer undefined" errors.

Hi, Juan,

Finally I am able to compile 1.3 code under binutils 2.16.1 and gcc 4.1.1 according to the following suggestions.

Thank every one who helped me in the past.

John

--------------------------------------------
Posted by hierro@****** on Wednesday, May 31, 2006 - 02:52 pm:

I run into the same problem with a recent debian installation.

If I unset BINUTILS_ROOT the foo.cc program

#include
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout<<"Hello! World\n";
return 0;
}

compiles without a problem. Otherwise, crtbegin.o is not found.

If that variable is set, in the linking phase crtbegin.o is called
(g++ -v) by its name and not found. If it is unset, it is called (g++
-v) by the FULL PATH to that file and found.

A workaround is to copy all the files (subdirectories are not needed)
from
/your/local/gcc-4.1.0/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.1.0

into

/your/local/binutils-2.16.1/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib

After that, it is not necessary any more to unset
BINUTILS_ROOT in order to compile foo.cc

[mbeaudoin]

Hello,

I was bitten myself by the crtbegin.o problem while compiling OpenFOAM 1.3 on a brand new Centos 4.4 x86_64 platform.

As it was mentioned by other people, the problem lies with the existence or redefinition of the environment variable "BINUTILS_ROOT" at link time.

BINUTILS_ROOT is a "reserved" variable internally used by some of the gcc compiler tools.

I mistakenly reused that variable name, without seeing any side effects on any of my systems, until today.

In the Wiki Howto document about recompiling OpenFOAM under Unix, I now recommend not using or redefining the BINUTILS_ROOT environment variable, but instead to use an environment variable called _BINUTILS_FOR_DEMANGLE_H.

The probability of hitting another environment variable name clash with that one should be fairly minimal...
