Dear Foamers,

I tried to install the newest OpenFOAM version 2.0.1. on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.


When running
foamInstallationTest I get the following output:

Greetings Shailesh,

Interesting, according to the error it almost seems like that you were running out of disk space...

OK, try this before running Allwmake once again:

foam
wclean libso src/OpenFOAM

If it still runs into problems, then it's possible that the tarball you downloaded is damaged or that the unpacking procedure failed on a particular file. To check if the tarball is OK, run:

md5sum  OpenFOAM-2.0.1.gtgz

and compare with the value shown here: http://www.openfoam.com/download/source.php
If it's OK, try unpacking it once again, without removing the current installation - this should fix any damaged files.

Then run Allwmake once again!

Best regards and good luck!

Thanks you Bruno for your reply.




I was able to solve this issue. The installation issue was due to binutils-dev not installed on my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

I am able to compile the OpenFOAM. I have run few tutorial. I want to modify or enhancement some utility to get the meshing information. I would like to know How to include new c++ files or new development into openFOAM. Could you please help me on this?

Best regards,
Shailesh
