I got the following error in the ThirdParty Compilation of OpenFOAM-1.6-ext

Updating the ThirdParty environment variables before building package ParMetis-3.1.1

this happens because the link http://glaros.dtc.umn.edu/gkhome/fet...s-3.1.1.tar.gz does no longer exist, probably because of new updates. The link for ParMetis-3.1.1.tar.gz is now

http://glaros.dtc.umn.edu/gkhome/fet...s-3.1.1.tar.gz

The easiest way to overcome this error is to download this package to OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/ThirdParty/rpmBuild/SOURCES and start the Thirdparty compilation again. I hope this helps at least it worked well for me.

Thank you Julia for the bug fix.

Looks like the Karypis Lab is moving stuff around on their Web site, so the URLs for downloading Metis and ParMetis get broken.

Your solution is also the right one. Downloading the package directly into the rpmBuild/SOURCES is the right solution until a proper fix makes it into the script and into the main git branch.

If you want to really be sure your bug reports and fixes will get noticed, please contribute them here:
