All due to the lack of libPstream.so, which is provided in the ThirdParty binary package, as I said before :-)

Btw, are you on openSUSE 32 or 64 bit?

Are you using a 64 bit distribution? Have you _all_ (binary and source) the third party packages installed? libPstream should be in

/home/Sam/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5.x/lib/linux64GccDPOpt/openmpi-1.2.6/libPstream.so

if you have a 64 bit system, and something like that for a 32 bit version (linux instead than linux64 in the path).

Best,

I am running a 32 bit distribution.

What do you mean with "installed"? I simply took the files and I put them into the ThirdParty folder. Have I to do something else?

However, yes, libPstream.so is in /home/Sam/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5.x/lib/linuxGccDPOpt/openmpi-1.2.6. It exists, it is in there. How it is possible that libOpenFOAM dows not see it?

[alberto]

OK. I have just recompiled 1.5.x on my system after an update and it works OK.

With installed I meant "put the ThirdParty directory into the ~/OpenFOAM directory.

This

linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libPstream.so => not found
libz.so => /usr/lib/libz.so (0xb7c5d000)
libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0xb7b69000)

looks weird. I checked what

Did you change the configuration file of OpenFOAM sourced in your /home/Sam/.bashrc ?

Best,

Do you mean if I added the line ". $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5.x/etc/bashrc"? I did this through the nano command (as gac said, being not superuser):

nano ~./bashrc

[alberto]

If you did type it this way

nano ~./bashrc

it is wrong. The correct syntax is nano ~/.bashrc, being .bashrc a hidden file.

Just to be sure, you have to do everything I said as your user (Sam), and not as root, as correctly pointed out by gac.

I meant if you edited $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5.x/etc/bashrc or /home/Sam/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5.x/etc/settings.sh in some way.

P.S. If you have time, we can talk directly on #openfoam-irc on irc.freenode.net servers, or you can add me to your MSN or Skype.

Best,

I added you to MSN.

[alberto]

I'm connected (alberto_passalacqua@hotmail.it) but I don't see you.

Edit: Sorry, there was a typo in the address in the profile. Not it is fixed.

Best,

[StructureITA]

I did it!

Alberto helped me very much and I have to thank him a lot. Thanks to him I understood that I was performing several mistakes:
- installation and bash modifications has to be done not as root;
- download of the git repository has to be done in order to have to latest version;
- unzip of the two thirdparty packages has to performed in the same folder, in order to let them to make a single result in a single folder.
Moreover, beyond these instructions he gave me, I discovered that some files from the binary pack (OpenFOAM 1.5) have to be taken and inserted within the 1.5.x version. I refer to:
- several applications/bin/linuxGccDPOpt files;
- several lib/linuxGccDPOpt files;
- the file wmkdep inserted in the folder wmake/rules/linuxGcc.
When I didn't inserted them yet, I was not able to run the tutorial and foamInstallationTest told me that a CRITICAL ERROR in icoFoam installation was present. Now (after this modification and the compilation of ParaView and OpenFOAM), foamInstallationTest is perfect and I am finally able to perform the tutorial about cavity.

What I see after typing the three tutorial command lines:

[alberto]

Click Apply ;-)

The case is not visible, as shown by the "eye" next to the name "cavity.OpenFOAM".

Hi Alberto,
actually i have the same problem as above. The case is not visible. Especially in my case i have no chance to click "Apply" which is always grey.
How can i correct it?

Best Regards
Hongyi

[ttdtud]

Hi Alberto,
as you said, the case is not visible. Using FoamToVTK and starting paraview, everything can be seen.

What is false?
Please help me! Since last week i have concentrated myself on compiling OF-1.5.x. Till now the paraFoam does not work rightly.

[alberto]

Did you recompile ParaView and the reader using your system Qt library?

If so, I don't know why it doesn't work. It is working smoothly here on openSUSE 11.1 64 bit.

Best,
