Hi,

Has anyone successfully installed OpenFOAM-1.6.x on OpenSUSE 11.2 64 yet?

I have no problem with compiling OpenFOAM-1.6.x on OpenSUSE 11.1 64, but, got tons of errors when compiling OpenFOAM-1.6.x on OpenSUSE 11.2 64.

Are you using the gcc from ThirdParty or the system gcc?

[phsieh2005]

Hi,

I am using gcc from ThirdParty.

Hi Pei,

what kind of error do you get? Can you post the log or parts of it?

I'm in the same situation (11.2 x64) not beeing able to compile 1.6.x with the ThirdParty gcc-4.3.3 regardless if I use the self compiled gcc or the provided binaries. I'm getting numerous complaints about a missing GLIBCXX_3.4.11, although I have the corresponding lib (libstdc++.so.6, version 6.0.12) installed.

I then tried to relink the gcc variant of libstdc++.so.6 as suggested here but that didn't work either. Although the GLIBCXX_3.4.11 errors dissapeared, gcc still wasn't working properly.

As a workaround, you can install the system gcc-43 via YaST (in fact 4.3.4) and use it instead of the native system gcc (4.4.1). With this workaround I was able to compile 1.6.x without any errors.

I hope you finally get it working, too.

Best regards,
Johannes

Hi, Johannes,

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try out the workaround.

Hi, Johannes,

Here is part of the error messages before the workaround.

Hi,

Thanks to Johannes that I finally am able to compile OpenFOAM-1.6.x on OpenSUSE 11.2 64 bit OS.

I had to do the following two steps suggested:

cd /home/USER_NAME/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.6.x/gcc-4.3.3/platforms/linux64/lib64
1.
sudo mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.orig
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.10 libstdc++.so.6

sudo mv libgcc_s.so.1 libgcc_s.so.1.orig
sudo ln -s /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1

2. install gcc43.

Hi,
I am also doing the installation of OpenFoam1.6 on OpenSUSE 11.2, 64 bit OS.
Actually I followed the steps here to fix the GLIBCXX problems but something is still missing. When I try ./Allwmake in the OpenFoam/OpenFOAM-1.6 directory many of the follow problems appear:
g++: no input files
make: ** [libNULL.so] Erro 1
Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

Dear Foamers!

After few hours, i found how to install OpenFOAM on OpenSuSE 11.2 (32 & 64 bit) using system compiler (gcc v. 4.4)

There are some bugs (i think) in configuration and source files of OpenFOAM.

Steps are:

1) Correct file OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6/etc/settings.sh as suggested here:

# Compiler settings
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
unset compilerBin compilerLib

# Select compiler installation
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# compilerInstall = OpenFOAM | System
compilerInstall=System #OpenFOAM

case "${compilerInstall:-OpenFOAM}" in
OpenFOAM)
case "$WM_COMPILER" in
Gcc)
export WM_COMPILER_DIR=$WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/gcc-4.3.3/platforms/$WM_ARCH$WM_COMPILER_ARCH
_foamAddLib $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/mpfr-2.4.1/platforms/$WM_ARCH$WM_COMPILER_ARCH/lib
_foamAddLib $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/gmp-4.2.4/platforms/$WM_ARCH$WM_COMPILER_ARCH/lib
;;
Gcc43)
export WM_COMPILER_DIR=$WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/gcc-4.3.3/platforms/$WM_ARCH$WM_COMPILER_ARCH
_foamAddLib $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/mpfr-2.4.1/platforms/$WM_ARCH$WM_COMPILER_ARCH/lib
_foamAddLib $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/gmp-4.2.4/platforms/$WM_ARCH$WM_COMPILER_ARCH/lib
;;
Gcc42)
export WM_COMPILER_DIR=$WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/gcc-4.2.4/platforms/$WM_ARCH$WM_COMPILER_ARCH
;;
esac
;;

System)
export WM_COMPILER_DIR="/usr"

# Check that the compiler directory can be found
if [ ! -d "$WM_COMPILER_DIR" ]
then
echo
echo "Warning in $WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc/settings.sh:"
echo " Cannot find $WM_COMPILER_DIR installation."
echo " Please install this compiler version or if you wish to use the system compiler,"
echo " change the 'compilerInstall' setting to 'System' in this file"
echo
fi
compilerBin=$WM_COMPILER_DIR/bin
compilerLib=$WM_COMPILER_DIR/lib$WM_COMPILER_LIB_ARCH:$WM_COMPILER_DIR/lib
esac

2) Correct source code in file OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6/src/meshTools/triSurface/surfaceFeatures/surfaceFeatures.C, lines 768, 769, 869, 870

lines 768, 769

static_cast<treeBoundBox>(samples), // overall search domain
static_cast<octreeDataPoint>(samples), // all information needed to do checks

lines 869, 870:

static_cast<treeBoundBox>(samples), // overall search domain
static_cast<octreeDataPoint>(samples), // all information needed to do checks

3) run ./Allwmake

That's All!

paraview should be also recompiled, paraFoam doesn't work (use foamToVTK and then paraview)

[jonmec]

Kraposhin

Could you detail the point 3 listed above?

I'm trying to follow your steps but I need your help in the last step

thanks

[mkraposhin]

go to OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6/ and run script ./Allwmake

Also, it was found, that openmpi on OpenSuSE 11.2 with OpenFOAM behaves strangely.

On 4-core Intel processor:
icoFoam (and all other apps)
- runs well for 2 cores
- stalls sometimes for 3 cores
- stall everytime for 4 cores

Why? I don't know. I switched to OpenSuSE 10.3 (gcc 4.2), in this distribution everything goes fine.

Hmm interesting. I cannot reproduce the problems on openSUSE 11.2. Might it depend on the machine? What is your hardware configuration? Also, I built OF 1.6.x on openSUSE 11.2 using the system compiler without fixing the script and it seems to behave correctly here. I'm using gcc, cmake and gcc from openSUSE 11.2, but the rest from ThirdParty.

Do you still have problem if you add mpirun option "-mca btl ^sm" ?

It could be that you are hitting this:

Actually have exactly the same problem. The listing is something like

Also, I guess, that the following problem also somehow relates to this: when I am trying to compile any of the utilities (for ex. gmshToFoam, or ParabolicVelocityInlet, all works fine with OF-1.6 and Suse 11.1) I am getting the following error:

Could anyone give me any hints please?

Could you check you installed the whole C/C++ development pattern, and followed the steps I summed up here (warning, marketing my stuff )

http://albertopassalacqua.com/?p=532

Best,

[sundaero]

Thank you, Alberto!

By following instructions on your site I have managed to solve mentioned problems. I have compiled OpenFOAM and paraFoam without any further problems. Now they are fine and working well.

Still did not understand, where error could be, but anyway I am happy that the OpenFOAM works again.

Denis

[alberto]

Good!
Probably some missing library brought in by the C/C++ development pattern, which anyway a good idea to have if you use gcc ;-)

Dear OF-users,

I have installed OpenFOAM-1.6.x on OpenSUSE Linux 11.2 following the steps of Alberto.

Both tutorials (airfoil2D and dambreak) run well.

But I think I have still some problems.
The foamInstallationTest give 1 critical error. As suggested I have used gcc from the system.

Hi,

I don't think you exactly followed my steps . You should not have gcc 4.3.3. at all on your system.
Delete or rename its directory in the OpenFOAM/ThirdParty directory, and to the same with cmake, since you are supposed to use the version provided with openSUSE.

You will still get a "critical" error from foamInstallationTest, which says

gcc 4.4.1
WARNING: Conflicting installations:
OpenFOAM settings : /bin/gcc
current path : /usr/bin/gcc
CRITICAL ERROR

Feel free to ignore it.

Best,
Alberto
