Hi folks!
I had some help some time ago with installing OpenFoam on Ubuntu Karmic Koala....here..

We got it working and my customer was happy...

Unfortunately, his computer was hit by a storm we have built him a new one, but with the old drive and I could fix Ubuntu...Karmic Koala hasn't any support now and I tried the upgrade to Lucid Lynx 10.04.3...

The upgrade went well, so I tested OpenFoam and it came up error:

I see that gcc is a problem and needs attending to..can anyone give me any ideas on fixing this....?

My customer doesn't mind if I update to the latest version of Ubuntu and that is an option if support is working OK with OpenFOAM?

The one thing I do remember.....is the service here is brilliant!


Give me work to do .....


Thanks as always!

Hi bookie56!

It has already been this long ago!?

OK, as for the error message:

          CRITICAL ERROR

Actually that's only an old bug on the testing script itself, so no need for alarm It says itself that gcc was found, it simply wasn't found where it expected to, only because back then it wasn't taught to search properly

It will only be necessary to rebuild everything only if your customer needs to build his own solvers/utilities for OpenFOAM. Otherwise, it's ready to run as it is! Or at least it should be...

Upgrading the OpenFOAM version will depend on his usage of OpenFOAM itself. Currently he has two upgrade options:

• Go up to 1.7.x, where changes have been somewhat considerable, but adapting the cases might be easy/simple enough.
• Go up even further to 2.0.1 or 2.0.x, but this can be a bit of a big step, since some more things have changed and adapting might be a bit harder, specially if the upgrade is directly from 1.6.x to 2.0.1/x.

As for the hardware-wise issue, although you didn't request anything suggestions, here are a few that you and/or your customer might want to consider:

• Backup UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) can be priceless in these situations. Batteries should be replaced every 3-4 years, but it can save his work/life!
  Or at the very least, use a power outlet "protected against surges".
• External data backup solution, both online (Amazon S3 is such example) and an external hard-drive or NAS. It might look like overkill, but nowadays hard-drives are so cheap, that ... they are cheap. In other words, by my experience hard-drive failure has been rising over the last few years (so have risen the number of machines I handle); this specially occurs because storage capacity has increased so much and prices fallen as well.
  RAID1 or RAID5 would also be a possibility instead of a NAS, but recovering RAIDs can be overwhelming at times

To sum up: he is pretty lucky that the hard-drive didn't fry with the lightning!
And if you think that this much backup can be redundant, some people have now resorted to also having a spare laptop, because wasting 1 work day in the repair shop is not acceptable!

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi wyldckat!

Time flies doesn't it.....LOL!

Thanks for a great and prompt reply...

The backup side of things is something I keep on nagging my customers about.....some listen .....some don't...

I don't think my customer was worried about any cases, because he had a go at reinstalling his cumputer after a crash a while back (didn't mention to me) and basically cocked things up....But when he finally had major problems after the storm...he came to me

I was pleasantly surprised to find Ubuntu intact, but he had already said to reinstall everything if needed....

I see OpenFOAM has changed a lot....not saying that I have a clue about anything to do with it.......LOL

At the moment it might be an idea to stay with the 10.04 LTS until they release a newer version.....

I can check with him about the cases....to make sure if there is anything left he is worried about.....

If he says go ahead and upgrade to latest version - can you help me with that?

Is it easy to remove old version or upgrade...don't mind reinstalling Ubuntu....he is on holiday about another couple of weeks, so I have a little time to fix things...

Let me know your opinion...

Thanks again!

Hi bookie56,

OpenFOAM has indeed evolved and now also comes in a neat "turn key" optional installation mode: http://www.openfoam.com/download/ubuntu.php - it's not a perfect solution, but it's certainly very convenient to simply add the repo and "apt-get install" it

Installing from git has also become more simple to do manually, simply by following every single step from here: http://www.openfoam.com/download/git.php

The previous versions at still conveniently available as well here: http://www.openfoam.com/download/archive.php - 1.7.0 and 1.7.1 are also available with .deb packages

Ah, something that they only explain partially - for builds to be done faster with multi-core, run this before Allwmake:

export WM_NCOMPPROCS=8

where 8 is the number of CPU cores available.


And best of all, no need to reinstall things from scratch again, because multiple OpenFOAM versions can easily coexist in the same machine. Simply use something like this in ~/.bashrc:

#. $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/etc/bashrc #<- remove this line!

alias of16x='. $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/etc/bashrc'
alias of171='. /opt/openfoam171/etc/bashrc'
alias of17x='. $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.x/etc/bashrc'
alias of20x='. $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.0.x/etc/bashrc'
alias of201='. /opt/openfoam201/etc/bashrc'

Then whenever a new terminal is started, simply activate the desired environment by running of16x or of17x or any other available.
One thing to keep in mind: it's not advisable to run more than one of these aliases in the same terminal, because doing so will make a hybrid environment which may result in strange results. AFAIK this problem no longer occurs with 2.0.0 and above, but it was something that did not work all that well in previous versions. So when in doubt, start a new terminal and activate the desired environment.

Last but not least, it's also possible to only use one ParaView version for all OpenFOAM version installations, preferably the latest one. All it's necessary is to do a little hacking to the "etc/apps/paraview3/bashrc" for OpenFOAM versions below 2.0.0 and "etc/config/paraview.sh" for 2.0.0 and above. Such hacking is explained here: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/blo...-openfoam.html - you can try either the official binary build from www.paraview.org, or use the latest paraview3101 deb package from openfoam.com.
If push comes to shove and something is not right with the available pre-built versions of ParaView, you can also follow these instructions: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/blo...-qt-4-6-4.html

Any questions/problems, just ask

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi wyldckat!

Thought I'd give you an update on the situation....

OK! I reinstalled to the latest version of Ubuntu 11.04 and update things etc...

I looked at your last post and followd the first part:

OpenFOAM has indeed evolved and now also comes in a neat "turn key" optional installation mode: http://www.openfoam.com/download/ubuntu.php - it's not a perfect solution, but it's certainly very convenient to simply add the repo and "apt-get install" it

Now after the general install of OpenFOAM I had an bug which seems to have been reported here

I couldn't see any fault in the installation...just that a window popped up and asked me to report it.....

After following the instructions below:

Installation

OpenFOAM and Paraview can be simply installed using the apt package management tool. The user will need to provide superuser password authentication when executing the following commands with sudo

1. In a terminal window, add OpenFOAM to the list of repository locations for apt to search, by copying and pasting the following in a terminal prompt (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal).
   VERS=`lsb_release -cs`
   sudo sh -c "echo deb http://www.openfoam.com/download/ubuntu $VERS main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openfoam.list"
   • Note 1: Line 1 stores the version name of your Ubuntu distribution (e.g. maverick) under $VERS, which is used in line 2
   • Note 2: This only needs to be done once for a given system
2. Update the apt package list to account for the new download repository location sudo apt-get update
3. Install OpenFOAM (201 in the name refers to version 2.0.1):
   sudo apt-get install openfoam201
4. Install Paraview (3101 in the name refers to version 3.10.1): sudo apt-get install paraviewopenfoam3101

OpenFOAM-2.0.1 and Paraview-3.10.1 are now installed in the /opt directory.

User Configuration

In order to use the installed OpenFOAM package, complete the following

1. Open the .bashrc file in the user’s home directory in an editor, e.g. by typing in a terminal window (note the dot) gedit ~/.bashrc
2. At the bottom of that file, add the following line (see Note 1) and save the file source /opt/openfoam201/etc/bashrc
3. Open a new terminal window (see Note 2) and test that the icoFoam application, from the OpenFOAM package, is working by typing icoFoam -help
4. A “Usage” message should appear. Your installation and user configuration is complete.

Note 1: If a similar line has already been added to the user’s .bashrc file, e.g. for a previous version of OpenFOAM, then the line should be deleted or, alternatively, commented out by inserting a # at the beginning of the line.
Note 2: If a user wishes to execute icoFoam in the same terminal window, they must first register the change to the .bashrc file by typing at the terminal prompt (note the dots): source $HOME/.bashrc
Getting Started

Create a project directory within the $HOME/OpenFOAM directory named <USER>-2.0.1 (e.g. chris-2.0.1 for user chris and OpenFOAM version 2.0.1) and create a directory named run within it, e.g. by typing:
mkdir -p $FOAM_RUN



Copy the tutorial examples directory in the OpenFOAM distribution to the run directory. If the OpenFOAM environment variables are set correctly, then the following command will be correct: cp -r $FOAM_TUTORIALS $FOAM_RUN



Run the first example case of incompressible laminar flow in a cavity: cd $FOAM_RUN/tutorials/incompressible/icoFoam/cavity
blockMesh
icoFoam
paraFoam

I ran there test example and the results are in next post.


If I am not totally gagah - it looks like things are OK?


Is there anything else you think I should do to test this installation?

Thanks again!

Mmm, they use to explain this:

That module installation fails, however, giving an error message; please ignore the message, it does not affect parallel functioning of OpenFOAM.

Oddly enough they removed that explanation for 2.0.1...

icoFoam worked! That's the test they suggest! The foamInstallationTest script is meant only for installations from source, not for installations from .deb nor .rpm packages.

But if you do want to do some more tests, then try following the official guide: http://www.openfoam.com/docs/user/tutorials.php
But I think this would be better left to your client to do than yourself

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi mate!

Thanks for all your help again!!

I suppose it will probably be another year before I am in touch again.....

Great Service!!

I will link this forum to my customer, so that if he has any questions he is in the right place

Don't work too hard.......
