Hi everyone!

Iḿ quite new to Ubuntu but I'd like to install OpenFOAM on it, so I simply follow this simple how to-guide:

http://code-saturne.blogspot.com/201...on-ubuntu.html

For those of you that don't want to press the link:

Installation of OpenFOAM 1.6 on Ubuntu 9.10

OpenFOAM is another open source CFD software. In order to install OpenFOAM onto Ubuntu 9.10, the following packages are necessary.

cmake g++ flex++ bison python qt4-designer binutils-dev zlib1g-dev

Use apt-get to install them before trying to install and use OpenFOAM.

:/$ sudo apt-get install cmake g++ flex++ bison python qt4-designer binutils-dev zlib1g-dev

A very brief introduction on the compilation

1. Download the related packages, including the source pack and the binary pack. Double precision is recommended.

2. Create a directory OpenFOAM under $HOME (or at other locations if you prefer), move the downloaded packages into it, and then execute

:/$ tar xzvf OpenFOAM-1.6.General.gtgz
:/$ tar xzvf ThirdParty-1.6.General.gtgz
:/$ tar xzvf OpenFOAM-1.6.linuxGccDPOpt.gtgz
:/$ tar xzvf ThirdParty-1.6.linuxGcc.gtgz

3. Source the file OpenFOAM-1.6/etc/bashrc. For convenience, a sentence could be incorporated into the user config file .bashrc.

source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6/etc/bashrc

4. Compile ParaView. Ship into OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.6 and execute

sh makeParaView

5. Link OpenFOAM ParaView reader and ParaView.

:/$ cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV3FoamReader
:/$ ./Allwclean
:/$ ./Allwmake

The Windows version

"openfoam-mswin" is a project to provide an OpenFOAM binary release for MS windows. The project is hosted on SourceForge, and a self-install file for Windows can then be downloaded from its SourceForge site. With its help, it is easier to install and use OpenFOAM if Linux experience is absent.

Now, I succed in all but the last step:

./Allwmake

. When I type in that I get the following:

+ [ -d /home/marcoantonio/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.6/paraview-3.6.1/platforms/linux64Gcc -a -r /home/marcoantonio/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.6/paraview-3.6.1/platforms/linux64Gcc ]

What am I doing wrong? Please have mercy if it's something trivial I forgot and I don't understand As I said, I'm new to Ubuntu.

Greetings marval,

May I suggest following Mads cookbook? The thread is dedicated to it is this one. See his signature for the link to the cookbook scripts.
Additionally, you should take into account which architecture version of Ubuntu are you using? 32 or 64 bit? And are you building the 64 bit version of OpenFOAM? I say this, because you unpacked the 32 bit binaries, but are trying to build the 64 bit version of OpenFOAM!
To build the 32 bit version of OpenFOAM, you should edit the file "$HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6/etc/bashrc" and change WM_ARCH_OPTION from 64 to 32.

Either way, if you don't feel like following Mads cookbook, the missing commands after unpacking the ThirdParty-1.6.linuxGcc.gtgz file are (from post #282):

 echo "FIX up for Ubuntu 9.10"
cd ~/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.6/gcc-4.3.3/platforms/linux64/lib64
mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.orig
ln -s `locate libstdc++.so.6.0 | grep "^/usr/lib" | head -n 1` libstdc++.so.6
mv libgcc_s.so.1 libgcc_s.so.1.orig
ln -s `locate libgcc_s.so. | grep "^/lib" | head -n 1` libgcc_s.so.1
cd ~/OpenFOAM
echo "Fix up done"

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi
I am new in ubuntu 9.04 and I am trying to get paraView. I followed following procedure after sourcing the file OpenFOAM-1.6/etc/bashrc.


Compile ParaView. Ship into OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.6 and execute

sh makeParaView

Link OpenFOAM ParaView reader and ParaView.

:/$ cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV3FoamReader
:/$ ./Allwclean
:/$ ./Allwmake




But now I am getting following error msg and I'm stucked in it...Pls help m in regard
Thankx..
