as a new user I write in the OpenFOAM directory:

git clone http://github.com/OpenFOAM-1.6.x.git (http because of firewall)

and i get the answer:

Initialized empty Git reposity in /hein/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/.git
fatal http://github..../info/refs not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?

Why is it not possible to download OpenFOAM-1.6.x??

1.7.x works still

Greetings Achim,

In GitHub they only have 1.7.x. I've just checked 1.6.x and 1.5.x are still in repo.or.cz.
If you want to do a new git clone of 1.6.x, try this:

git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/OpenFOAM-1.6.x.git

In case it still doesn't work, try downloading straight from the webpage:

snapshot (tar.gz zip)

Because 1.6.x is no longer updated, so I think you can get the snapshot without any more worries.

Good luck,
Bruno

Thank you very much Bruno

a little problem i have with the gcc version. When i run the foamInstallationTest he gives me the warning:

WARNING: gcc version does not match gcc supplied with this release of OpenFOAM
Supplied version: 4.3.3
User version : 4.3.2
Minimum required: 4.3.1

but in settings.sh there is the 4.3.3. which is in the ThirdParty Package

# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# compilerInstall = OpenFOAM | System
compilerInstall=OpenFOAM

case "${compilerInstall:-OpenFOAM}" in
OpenFOAM)
case "$WM_COMPILER" in

When i want to compile may Foamreader he gave me:

It is strange because i changed nothing an now he wants my system compiler.

Greetings Achim,

I think you only got the source package for ThirdParty-1.6... and you have yet to build gcc that comes with it and ParaView too.
In the link in my signature you can find links to threads that explain how to build gcc and paraview for OpenFOAM 1.6/1.6.x:

• On how to build Paraview and Qt 4.3.5, including on how to use the cmake that comes with the package ThirdParty-1.6.linuxGcc.gtgz: New user needs help (note: this is now somewhat outdated )
• On how to compile gcc-4.3.3 that comes with the ThirdParty-1.6 package - follow the posts starting on this post: OpenFoam Installation in Redhat Enterprise linux 5 post #4

But if you are running Ubuntu (8.10 to 10.04), you might want to use the openfoam-ubuntu script: http://code.google.com/p/openfoam-ubuntu/

Best regards,
Bruno

Thanks again Bruno,

i will do so but i have one question

until 2 days my system (OF1.6.x) went well until something went wrong with git.
I have two identical computers. On the other OF1.6.x is running fine.
I tried to tar both directories (OF1.6.x and the Thirdparty Package) an copied to the broken installation.
It should work or am i wrong? But it does not work. Why?

Before the mess happened i installed 1.7.x but this should not be the reason?
Regards
Achim

Hi Achim,

I can only assume that your "~/.bashrc" file is misconfigured on the broken machine. Remove the lines you have in it that refer to each OpenFOAM bashrc file, and put these in it:

alias of16x='. $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/etc/bashrc'
alias of17x='. $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.x/etc/bashrc'

Now, every time you start a new terminal, either type of16x or of17x, but never both in the same terminal! This way you can use either version with the minimum effort

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno

many thanks.

I deinstalled gcc !! (with yast) and everything works now. Now my Linux has no system compiler any more !! but everthing works. Copied the OF from the old machine to the broken one.
Now i can enjoy my weekend.

Thanks again - hope i will meet you somewhere to invite you for a beer

Achim
