Hello all,
I am trying to install OpenFOAM v1.5 on Fedora 10 and seem to be having some problems compiling the code. I get the error:

+ cd ParMetis-3.1
+ wmake libso METISLib
/home/peter/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5/wmake/scripts/mkObjectDir: line 40: [: too many arguments
icpc: command line remark #10148: option '-K' not supported
ld: cannot open output file /libmetis-parmetis.so: Permission denied
make: *** [/libmetis-parmetis.so] Error 1

I noticed that the script 'mkObjectDir' says that it is written in c-shell so I switched the first line from '/bin/sh' to 'bin/csh' but then it says there's a syntax error in the if statement.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Peter.

It seems that you are using Intel Fortran Compiler,if so,change to Gcc.

I installed the OpenFOAM-1.6, and set the environment variables in the way in the file README. However, after I restart my computer, I found there was nothing in desktop of my computer, and I can not open GUI to view files. When I opened the terminal, I found there was one warning in terminal that was following:
"age: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]...
Try `grep --help' for more information.
kde4-config: /root/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.6/gcc-4.3.3/platforms/linux/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.11' not found (required by /usr/lib/libkdecore.so.5)".

So, I just reset environment variables in order to make my computer normal.

What is the problem with what I mention above? How to solve it?
Thanks!

I am experiencing the same problem with OF 1.5 and 1.6 under Fedora 11. This is my error message.

"nautilus: /home/cata/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/gcc-4.3.1/platforms/linux64/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.11' not found (required by /usr/lib64/libexempi.so.3)"

Best,

Hi Grig,
Did you figure out what the problem was? I am also in the same boat!
Please let us know,
Thanks

I just set: WM_COMPILER_INST = System (line 96 in file /.../OpenFOAM-1.5/etc/settings.sh). It all works out when booting but now I get a gcc conflicting installations error when running foamInstallationTest.

grig

Hi Grig,

Perhaps you could compile OF with the system compiler and then put gcc back to OF's compiler. Does that remove the foamInstallationTest error?

Regards,

Gijs

Hello, we are on the same boat, so may I ask if you have solved this problem?

I am currently using gnuplot, and I came across this problem.

Thank you.
