Hi,

I am still getting errors with the foamInstallationTest:


gcc 3.4.3
WARNING: Conflicting installations:
foam settings: /home/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM//gcc-4.0.1/bin/gcc
current path : /usr/local/bin/gcc
CRITICAL ERROR

java *** not installed ***

gzip 1.3.3 /bin/gzip
tar 1.3.3 /bin/tar
icoFoam *** not installed ***
CRITICAL ERROR

Searching the forum I believe gcc 3.4.3 should be the correct version. I tried several gcc releases, including 4.0.1, but all generate the critical error.

With respect to the paths, should it be:

/home/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM/gcc-4.0.1/bin/gcc

or

/home/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM/linux/gcc-4.0.1/bin/gcc

I tried both, and both versions give the error but I am not sure what the correct installation tree is (on the download page it states that gcc and java need to be put in a linux subdirectory of the OpenFoam tree, but given the errors above and the fact that java is not picked up either I am confused).

Also, icoFoam is not picked up.

Help please?

I have:

/home/pinky2/mattijs/OpenFOAM/linux/gcc-4.0.1/bin/gcc

where
/home/pinky2/mattijs is my home directory.

Check what the `uname -s` (and `uname -m`) in .OpenFOAM-1.2/bashrc returns - it is quite strange that your path does not include 'linux'

I have:

uname -s:
Linux

uname -m
i686

Ok,

I decided to start over, and to make sure that all was well I started with a fresh linux (RH 9) installation. It Works!

(why it didn't first??)
