Alessandro,

yes, you are one of the few that needs to add the '/r/' to the git. I still do not know why this is.

I am not sure about your question, but the OpenFOAM-1.6.x folder must reside inside the ~/OpenFOAM folder, if that's what you ask.

Yes this is my question, and why I don't need a

cd
cd OpenFOAM

before the git command? I am asking this because without the command mention above, the script create a folder named OpenFOAM-1.6.x in ~/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.6/gcc-4.3.3/platforms/linux64/lib64 that is useless for the successive command:

cd OpenFOAM-1.6.x/
. ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/etc/bashrc

This may be the reason why I have got the previous mentioned errors, isn't it?

[MadsR]

Well you need a cd OpenFOAM, and you get it, in the script :-) just after the apt-get section it does this:

cd ~
mkdir OpenFOAM
cd OpenFOAM

Base configuration ok.

Critical systems ok.

Now what I have to digit in the terminal to start OpenFOAM?

Hi,
I have the exact same problem as wenc2 on a clean install on rhel 5.4 x64.
I would appreciate any help.

at the end of the Allwmake, running foamInstallationTest script produces the same error.
Can anyone help with this?

Thanks

If some now how to solve it It would be wonderfull

Solved the problem. Turns out OpenFOAM compilation requires flex installed, which on RHEL is not the default.

Alessandro,

>Now what I have to digit in the terminal to start OpenFOAM?
I just don't get that :-)

Do you mean "what do I have to type in the terminal to start OpenFOAM"? If so, you should start by having a look at the tutorial guide:

Wow, very usefull tool, I am a little bit scare to use OpenFOAM because I have always used Fluent but I am trying

[kjetil]

hi,
I adopted this script to compile the 1.6.x, but there is one error that seems to keep repeating itself:

/home/kjetil/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/lib/linux64GccDPOpt/libOpenFOAM.so: undefined reference to `std::ctype<char>::_M_widen_init() const'

and then

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

This is on an almost fresh Ubuntu 9.10 64bit install.

Any ideas to what might be wrong? The script runs fine until the point "Compiling OpenFOAM", which is where this error occurs ...

[akidess]

Kjetil, please post "gcc -dumpversion". This looks like it's a regression bug in gcc 4.4. Might be caused by the mixing of libs (libs from 4.4, executables from 4.3.3) that's happening in the 9.10 script. If you know your way around linux, try editing the OpenFOAM .bash_rc and settings.sh to use the system compiler.

[kjetil]

Gcc version is 4.4.1.

Isn't the settings.sh the only file I have to edit to make the Allwmake use system Gcc instead - I mean, you mentioned .bashrc too? This points to the appropriate bashrc in the OpenFOAM 1.6.x directory.

But, why do I get this error - wouldn't any Ubuntu 9.10 get this error - the new Gcc is default on all of these, and build-essentials is installed as a part of this script. This confuses me.

[kjetil]

Okay, now I get to the point of sourcing the dynamichMesh, before it fails. I have tried with both OpenFOAM and system compiler.

+ wmake libso dynamicMesh

This is then probably the reason for the later error message, that the applications dir can not be updated. Suggestions to how to fix this?

[Future Science]

Hi Mads, I've followed the on-line tutorials to install OpenFOAM 1.6.x on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic, 64 bit version.

After waiting a couple of hours to complete the Allwmake within the OpenFOAM folder, I tested the installation by executing foamInstallationTest, but I receive 2 critical errors. I have both linked the bashrc and I've created the symbolic link of the ThirdParty1.6 folder. And I've also edited the etc/settings.sh file, by tipying comiplerInstall = System.

The 2 critical errors are:

done.

Then I tried to run the first example case of incompressible laminar flow in a cavity, prior to installing paraView, since installing it comes later into the readme installation file.

When I try to do the execute blockMesh and icoFoam I receive for both the message "command not found".

How can I move on from here? Thanks in advance!

Hi Future Science.

Are you sure that Allwmake compiles without errors?

It's really wierd. As I recall, what I did was to 1) get a new computer, 2) install Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit version and then 3) install OpenFOAM with my script. As it didn't work out entirely, I applied the links that Bruno pointed out above - and now it's working. I know this helps you like a spoon when you need a fork (meaning it's not helpful to you :-/ ). The more statements of "this is working" we get though, should prove that the script is working. We have a lot of such validation of the first-gen scripts (for 8.04) but not so much for 9.10. So it might be my installation that's broke (and hence works).

Maybe other foamers could confirm installation (or give errors) with the script on 9.10-64?

Apparently installation of OpenFOAM under Linux is quite a fragile process, and small changes can have catastrophic consequences. In your case, we still have to find out what's wrong (and change the script accordingly).

I am not aware of that "comiplerInstall = System." you are talking about? Are you trying to use the system compiler instead of the one bundled with Ubuntu - if so, why?

/Mads

[83_Ale_83]

I have had the same problem of you Future Science.
To try to resolve it I have install again ubuntu 9.10 x64 and then unistall gcc from the packet manager, finally I have use MadsR's script to install OpenFOAM.
Now all works fine, the only problem i have is that parafoam doesn't open file with .openFOAM extension, to solve this issue, I use the command foamToVTK and then use paraview to see my simulation.

Hope could be usefull

Hello Mads
I am trying to modify your script so it could be used on OpenSUSE. I hope you could explain to me this line
./Allwmake >make.log 2>&1
the first argument is clear, you redirect the output of Allwmake to the make.log
but what the second argument (2>&1) is for?
In fact when I copied this line as it is, it resulted in some kind of a disaster to my OpenSUSE
, so please explain
thanks and good luck to all

Hi Ahmed.

Nice - please post the modifications needed.

If ./Allwmake >make.log 2>&1 results in a disaster on an OpenSuse system it makes good reason for changing to Ubuntu :-) it's a completely valid Linux statement so I am a bit puzzled about any problems.

What it does is to redirect the "standard output" and "standard error"-streams to the make.log file. Google is your friend here.

@Alessandro is it really needed to uninstall gcc? Seems drastic.

I am very newbee to linux, it's not all the gcc but a compent (be careful to DON'T uninstall all gcc because in this case, linux will not recognize the monitor at next startup=black screen)
