Hello

I am new in using OpenFoam and I have some problems in installing it.

I downloaded all the packs from the download area (http://www.opencfd.co.uk/openfoam/linux.html). I followed the install info and when I do the final test I obtain 1 critical error. I am sure is because I did not installed well the gcc or I did not made well the settings for it. If somebody have the time to write down how i can correct the problem (how do I change the settings for the gcc, or how to install the gcc in a specific folder) I will be very grateful.



Many Thanks

Atzaru

Review the output for warning messages and consult
the installation guide for trouble shooting.

OpenFOAM expects the gcc 3.4.3 to be present in /home/amagda/OpenFOAM/linux/gcc-3.4.3/

It seems there is none there so you're picking up the default one (" current path : /usr/local/bin/gcc ") which will work only if it is the 3.4.3 version (type gcc -v)

Mattijs

Thanks Mattijs,

i tried gcc -v and the file gcc 3.4.3 seems to be installed. "gcc version 3.4.3". I will try to unpack again the gcc pack i downloaded from the webpage in /home/amagda/OpenFOAM/linux/gcc-3.4.3/

if any other suggestion please let me know

many thanks

Atzaru

You are right. Thanks a lot. I did not unpack in the right place my file. Wish you luck with the project.

Thanks

hi,

I met with a compilation error with version 1.3 while trying to do "wmake libso OpenFOAM" in the src directory. The complaint was about not being able to find demangle.h. I am using gcc as installed in

~/OpenFOAM/linuxAMD64/gcc-4.1.0/

Thanks.

Hi Tek,

Search the OpenFOAM Message Board for "demangle.h".

Plenty of information on that subject already available.

okies, thanks ... didn't have this problem with previous versions, so kinda weird.
