I tried to install OpenFOAM v21 Mac 10.6.8 in accordance with following in http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ho...enFOAM_v21_Mac.
Then, I got

timon111:OpenFOAM-v2.1 nat$ ls -l
total 170360 
drwxr-xr-x@ 9 nat  staff       544 11 mar 18:29 OpenFOAM-2.1.0

-rw-r--r--@ 1 nat  staff  54629903 11 mar 18:26 ThirdParty-2.1.0.tgz

in compliance with openfoamwiki prescriptions.
Then I perfomed these operations

timon111:OpenFOAM-v2.1 nat$ mv ThirdParty-2.1.0.tgz ThirdParty-2.1.0
timon111:OpenFOAM-v2.1 nat$ mv OpenFOAM-2.1.x-Mac.patch OpenFOAM-2.1.0
timon111:OpenFOAM-v2.1 nat$ mv OpenFOAM-2.1.x-gcc42.patch OpenFOAM-2.1.0
timon111:OpenFOAM-v2.1 nat$ cd OpenFOAM-2.1.0
timon111:OpenFOAM-2.1.0 nat$ ls bin/addr2line4Mac.py 
bin/addr2line4Mac.py
timon111:OpenFOAM-2.1.0 nat$ ls -l bin/addr2line4Mac.py 
-rw-r--r--  1 nat  staff  737 11 mar 18:34 bin/addr2line4Mac.py
timon111:OpenFOAM-2.1.0 nat$ chmod a+x bin/addr2line4Mac.py 
timon111:OpenFOAM-2.1.0 nat$ ls -l bin/addr2line4Mac.py 
-rwxr-xr-x  1 nat  staff  737 11 mar 18:34 bin/addr2line4Mac.py

Then, they proposed

                    
mon111:OpenFOAM-2.1.0 nat$ patch -p1 < OpenFOAM-2.1.x-Mac-gcc46.patch

but they moved into OpenFOAM-2.1.0 the

OpenFOAM-2.1.x-gcc42.patch OpenFOAM-2.1.0

and not 46. So, I moved there also 46

                    
timon111:OpenFOAM-v2.1 nat$ mv OpenFOAM-2.1.x-Mac-gcc46.patch OpenFOAM-2.1.0
timon111:OpenFOAM-2.1.0 nat$ patch -p1 < OpenFOAM-2.1.x-Mac-gcc46.patch

Finally, I got the error

                    
-bash: /Users/nat/Gcc46/Gcc46-2.1.0/bin/foamCleanPath: No such file or directory

Is anybody could explain me the problem?Please.
Thanks

a) what gives you that error (such information is always good)
b) the path should read /Users/nat/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.0/bin/foamCleanPath (THAT file should be there). My guess is that instead of setting WM_COMPILER to Gcc46 you set WM_PROJECT (an that variable should NEVER be altered) somewhere before (probably at the part where they explain changing etc/bashrc)

Hello Peter,

It looks like you are using mpicc to compile ptscotch. You need to change this to openmpicc if you haven't done so already.

You may also want to try 2.2.0 that has just been released. gschaider has provided patches for this version in another post in a different thread. The title of the thread is something like patches for version 2.2.0 (or 2.2.x). You may still need to make the change to openmpicc in the Makefile.inc for scotch_6.0.0. Another change may come in the config folder (OpenFOAM-2.2.x/etc/config) for the settings.sh file (if you are using bash). Simply change mpicc to openmpicc if this hasn't been taken care of by the patches.

Good Luck,

Tom

The patches should fix both (Makefile.inc and settings.sh use openmpicc). In fact: if mpicc is NOT called openmpicc then you'll have to modify them

[peter_t]

ah ok. cheers. so I'm running open mpi 1.6.4

thanks guys. I'll give it a whirl

[peter_t]

ok so I tried installing 2.2 and still errors. here is my log

Rant: this is the 4th make.log.tar-something cluttering my Download-folder (would be more if I wouldn't remove that crap from time to time). That would be doable if the file was only zipped because then less could handle it (could anyone explain to me why anyone would want to tar a single file - yeah. If you want to preserve the rights and ownership. But apart from that). So if you must attach log files please:
- give them a unique name
- store them a sensible format (just gnuzipped for single file)
- post an excerpt of the part where you THINK that the error occurs. Maybe that makes looking at the log unnecessary

If the act of getting to the information takes me longer than it took you to post your question (and remember: that doesn't include the time it might take me to answer) then I don't feel were motivated in the first place (occasionaly I feel motivated to rant)

Hi Peter,

It looks like darwinIntel64Gcc46 may be a simple file instead of a link to darwinIntel64Gcc. So check out ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.0/wmake/rules/darwinIntel64Gcc46 to see if it is a plain file and not a symbolic link to ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.0/wmake/rules/darwinIntel64Gcc.

In case you don't know already, use ln -s "~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.0/wmake/rules/darwinIntel64Gcc" "~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.0/wmake/rules/darwinIntel64Gcc46" to form the symbolic link. Take the quotes out. They just help to point out the source directory and target directory. man ln will give you more information on the ln command.

Thanks Tom. I tried doing what you suggested but it didn't work for some reason. So instead I simply changed the name of the folder "darwinIntel64Gcc" to "darwinIntel64Gcc46"(could this cause issues?). This time the compilation worked for a while but still failed in the end. Errors:

compilation terminated.

ok managed to make that symbolic link to darwinIntel64Gcc but still getting similar errors. all seems to start with boost/config.hpp

here is my log

The boost-problem is on me. The patch assumes that the directory boost/CGAL is installed to /opt/local which is the general MacPorts-directory. The upstream scripts test for the directory that boost/CGAL is installed to (which is sensible, because they're in ThirdParty and unique) but for MacPorts this test is always OK. I'll extend the test to check for /opt/local/include/boost (that should take care of this). Short term solutions are:
- you can live without the surfaceFeatureExtract-utilitiy (a lot of people can)
- you install CGAL and boost with "port install boost cgal"

The paraview-thing puzzles me a bit, because the patch should discourage use of the ThirdParty-paraview (mainly because I can live with the built in reader of the distributed binaries). Will have a look. But the basic OF-utilities should work for you (try blockMesh/setFields/interFoam for the damBreak-case)

That's OK. Hope you didn't feel offended

[peter_t]

thanks for your help guys. but decided to install openfoam via virtual box ubuntu

As you want. Although it was my impression that your installation was mostly functional (if those two errors you posted were the only ones)

Hello, I have the same problem with Paraview of the guy who posted above. Anyway I have to say that I didn't follow all the steps in the Wiki, because before the guide suggested here I found another tutorial and directly followed it. So, I just downloaded the material, installed the Pre-requisites and launched the compiling of OpenFoam without patching anything. Then I wanted to check if OpenFoam worked (I have to say that's my very first time in the Terminal) so I built a run directory copied the tutorial directory in it and did this:

cd $FOAM_RUN/tutorials/incompressible/icoFoam/cavity
blockMesh
icoFoam

In here everything worked fine (I guess) because no error message poped up, then I typed:

paraFoam

and the exactly same error of peter_t occurred:

FATAL ERROR: ParaView reader module libraries do not exist

Please build the reader module before continuing:
cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV3Readers
./Allwclean
./Allwmake

I followed the advise given by the message but after typing ./Allwmake this happened:

ERROR: ParaView not found in /Users/piMac/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.2.0/platforms/darwinIntel64Gcc/paraview-3.12.0

So, is it the best way to download Paraview from the website you linked and copy the files in my application folder?

I also want to tell you that when I downloaded the OpenFOAM-v2.2.sparseimage a disk automatically mounted on my desktop, I didn't create a disk image, and I'm wondering if I have to keep this there forever to use OpenFoam or I can copy the OpenFoam directory in my application directory to use openFoam.

Many Thanks in advance.

"As the guy who posted above": this thread is quite long. It would help anyone tremendously if you use the permalink to the posting (top right corner with #nr). Also I'm not sure what the guide and the tutorial you'r referring to are (it's a long thread and I'm not going through it, sorry)

Did you compile paraview? Because if you didn't, then the PV3Readers won't compile. As I'm quite content with the OpenFOAM-Reader that comes with paraview (the one you can access with "paraFoam -builtin") I didn't bother to compile paraview for a long time. Which doesn't mean that it doesn't work. Maybe even without having to patch anything

Hello,

OF 2.0 was working quiet well on my lion. I recently upgraded my MAC to mountain Lion and wanted to have OF 2.2 on it. I did all the steps just fine but at the end I got some errors(which I don't have any clue) and OF is not working. I attached the make log file, maybe somebody can help. I really appreciate.

best regards

The file you posted is a tar with wmake/rules/darwinIntel64Gcc. Are you sure this is the file you wanted to post?
