I downloaded OpenFOAM 1.0.2 along with the third party binaries for LINUX. There seems to be a problem with gcc-3.4.3 that was downloaded. When trying to run the tutorial examples:
blockMesh . cavity
I get the following messages:
lib/i686/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by /home/OpenFOAM/linux/gcc-3.4.3/lib/libstdc++.so.6)

What Linux version are your using? The binaries we have shipped were compiled on SuSE 9.1 which uses glibc-2.3 as do other recent versions of Linux. If your Linux version does not use glibc-2.3 then you will either have to upgrade your OS or compile OpenFOAM from sources to be compatible with the glibc version you are using.

Dear all,

I am a brand new OpenFoam user. I can successfully followe the instruction to install the OpenFoam-1.3 and ran the icoFoam and other cases in the tutorials. However, when I try to follow the use guide to re-compile the tubFoam source code. I got a long errors message. I have no idea what wrong with my installation.
Could anybody give me some help? Thank you very much in advance.
I install OpenFoam in SUSE Linux 10.1. The following is the message when I ran the foamInstallationTest

Obviously something is wrong with your gcc-installation. Check if the file the compiler complains about (/home/jizeng/OpenFOAM/linux/gcc-4.1.0/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.0/in c lude/limits.h) exists. Check for the directories that contain it.

One suspicion: did you install the Foam-Stuff and are you now using it as jizeng? Maybe you don't have read-access to the include-file.

[jack2000]

Hi, Bernhard,
Thank you for your answer.
You are absolute right that the compiler complains losting limits.h, it also complains losting other library files. They are shown below. However, when I check them, I can find them in corresponding place: ../lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.0/include/

Actually, I followed the instructions in the release notes, and I haven't found any problems during the installation. So far I can run icoFoam and other cases in the tutorials with binary code in(/home/jizeng/OpenFOAM/jizeng-1.3/run/tutorials
It is in "/home/jizeng/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.3/applications/solvers", I try to compile turbFoam.c. I have no idea why the compiler can not link limits.h and other library files.

Do you think this problem is because SUSE 10.1 platform ang pre-compiled GNU gcc/G++ 4.1.0 doesn't not match? Could you give me some hint on how to solve this problem. Thank you very much!


Best Regards!

Hi,
Short answer: make sure the glibc-devel package (and other relevant development packages) is installed on your system.

What the message

/home/jizeng/OpenFOAM/linux/gcc-4.1.0/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.0/inc lude/limits.h:122:61: error: limits.h: No such file or directory

tells is that compiler did find /home/jizeng/OpenFOAM/linux/gcc-4.1.0/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.0/inc lude/limits.h but it couldn't find the system limits.h which is included from the line 121 of /home/jizeng/.../limits.h:

#include_next <limits.h> /* recurse down to the real one */

here #include_next means "include the next file in search paths with this name."

And in my openSUSE 10.2 doing
rpm -qf /usr/include/limits.h
returns
glibc-devel-2.5-25
so maybe the same package is required also on SUSE 10.1.

Hope this helps,
Takuya

[jack2000]

Hi, Takuya,
Thank you very much for your answer.
Could you tell me more details where I should run:
rpm -qf /usr/include/limits.h

In usr/include, correct? Because I can not find limits.h file there.

Also, should I add the line
#include_next <limits.h> /* recurse down to the real one */

into the turbFOAM.C?

I am new user of SUSE Linux, Maybe these are stupid questions.

Thank you very much in advance.


Best Regards!

Jack

Sorry I wrote too many unnecessary things

Just install glibc-devel from
YaST -> Software -> Software Management.

Takuya

[jack2000]

Yes, it work perferly! Thank you very much indeed!
