1. Edit OpenFOAM's "etc/bashrc" file.
2. Find the line that defines "WM_MPLIB":
   

   export WM_MPLIB=OPENMPI

3. Set it to this:
   

   export WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI

4. Just in case, start a new terminal.
5. Try running Allwmake once again, as instructed.

Nothing I can add to Brunos recommendation (although I have a Mac). Except to set WM_MPLIB in a different file (pointed out in http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ho...penMPI-version). I usually set stuff that is specific to my installation in those files (that's why it didn't show up in my patches) so that I don't have to mess with the sources

Hello to all contributors,

I would like to thank the whole community for this post and your availability in helping people interested in OF.
I'm currently approaching for the first time to OF but I'm stuck in the installation process.
I'm trying to install it on MBP OSx Lion;
I followed the instructions in the wiki page onebyone and I red the full post, even though I did not reach to make it work. I'm not expert in terminal but I really need to use OF asap. I have the feeling there is something wrong with Macport or perhaps with the bash. No idea but I get the following errors:

Is there someone willing to help me and tell me where exactly I went wrong and how could I repair ??

Thanks a lot

Hi again Nicola,

Why does your path have a space in this name "OpenFOAM-v2.1\ 1"? The "\ " indicates that a space is in the name, which there shouldn't be one!! OpenFOAM's environment system is not prepared for spaces in names

Best regards,
Bruno

Dear Bruno,

thanks for your help and fast reply...I corrected the bashrc file to use openmpi and I corrected the error in the sourcing line but the result I get is always the same.

nicola:/ Nico$

Terminal goes to find a folder on the system that does not exist anymore (due to previous installation trials). The terminal searches in the home "Nico" while it should search in the Volume OpenFOAM-v2.1. How can I set the new path??


thanks again

regards

Check your steps on 2.4: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ho...efore_building

The ln command is necessary for creating a symbolic link to where you have the mounted volume. In case it is still pointing to the old location, run:

cd
unlink OpenFOAM
ln -s /Volumes/OpenFOAM-v2.1 OpenFOAM

Dear Bruno,

it seems I'm moving a step forward but now I get this:

nicola:/ Nico$ . Volumes/OpenFOAM-v2.1/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc

    Your "Darwin" operating system is not supported by this release
    of OpenFOAM. For further assistance, please contact www.OpenFOAM.org

-bash: mpicc: command not found
-bash: mpicc: command not found
nicola:/ Nico$

Do you think I can solve this or I have to find a previous release version?

thanks a lot Bruno

Oh yes you're right...sometimes I seem so dummy but I've been trying to install OF so many times in the past 24h that at the end I forgot to reapply the patches, but now the sourcing is right, no errors are shown.

I've got the following problem with the script /Allwmake, please find the log file in the attachment.

nicola:OpenFOAM-2.1.1 Nico$ ./Allwmake 2>&1 | tee make.log
Error: Current directory is not /Users/Nico/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1
Error: Current directory is not $WM_PROJECT_DIR
    The environment variables are inconsistent with the installation.
    Check the OpenFOAM entries in your dot-files and source them.
nicola:OpenFOAM-2.1.1 Nico$

I've been reading the whole discussion and I found that I'm running the script from the wrong location, then, I am not able to get from which location I should be running it.

I hope you got what I mean.
Thanks

[wyldckat]

Hi Nicola,

OK, first step, take a deep breath and relax

Now, the problem is possibly related to how your doing the mount and the symbolic link. So, let's look at the definitions made in the tutorial:

• The mounted disk image that is case-sensitive is meant to be mounted at "/Volumes/OpenFOAM-v2.1". That basically points to the root of the file system in that image. It is as if it were "/" of that disk.
• Your home folder can be found with either one of the following commands:
  

  cd
  cd ~
  cd $HOME

• Now, the implied location of the symbolic link in section 2.4 (http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ho...efore_building) is that in your home folder you will have the folder "OpenFOAM", which points to "/Volumes/OpenFOAM-v2.1".
• This means that the following two paths are equivalent:
  

  ~/OpenFOAM
  /Volumes/OpenFOAM-v2.1

• Which means that you should have inside those two folders the following sub-folders:
  

  ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1
  ~/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.1.1
  
  #identical to
  /Volumes/OpenFOAM-v2.1/OpenFOAM-2.1.1
  /Volumes/OpenFOAM-v2.1/ThirdParty-2.1.1

• If by any chance you have this:
  

  /Volumes/OpenFOAM-v2.1/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1
  /Volumes/OpenFOAM-v2.1/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.1.1

  Then this is the reason why things are not working. You can fix this, for example, like this:
  

  cd /Volumes/OpenFOAM-v2.1
  mv OpenFOAM/* .
  rmdir OpenFOAM

  And you should now be ready to go!

Best regards,
Bruno

Hello again,

I followed the logic you said and I found out the problem was in running the script Allwmake from the link in the Home directory and not from the /Volume.
So, finally I run the script and all seemed to work but I got the errors in the attachment as output of Allwmake.
What do you think ? Is there something wrong again??

Thanks

[wyldckat]

Hi Nicola,

Looks like Open-MPI is still missing And Flex also seems to be an old version, since the files it generates aren't good enough for Gcc...

Try once again installing Mac Ports' Open-MPI and Flex as well if possible:

sudo port install openmpi 
sudo port install flex

And make sure you have the SYSTEMOPENMPI option selected, as indicated in post #140: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post386332

Best regards,
Bruno

Hello again,

I followed your instruction and reinstalled Mac Ports this time from source, than also Open-MPI and flex.
I made sure about the option SYSTEMOPENMPI in the bashrc script and I recompiled the Allwmake but nothing has changed, the errors are still there (see attachment). Then I tried using one by one all the other options such as (MPI, OPENMPI etc) and I noted the only difference is that when I use SYSTEMOPENMPI while sourcing the bashrc file, I receive the following output:

:/ Nico$ source Volumes/OpenFOAM-v2.1/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc
-bash: mpicc: command not found
-bash: mpicc: command not found

But when compiling Allwmake the result is the same.

Do you have any further suggestion? Thanks

Regards

I have been working out the problem trying to update the release of my openmpi and flex, consulting here
after the updates I did not get the error while sourcing the bashrc script "mpicc command not found" and the output of Allwmake is way different but still I get some errors.
Could please someone check whether are relevant or I can proceed with the postprocessing tool installation?


Thanks a lot

Hi Nicola, sorry for the late reply!

I'm glad you finally managed to get Open-MPI working!

As for the error on this latest log, it has occurred to other people as well and they were able to solve it:

Basically, you can run from the same folder where you ran Allwmake, the following commands:

wclean applications/utilities/postProcessing/turbulence/R
wmake applications/utilities/postProcessing/turbulence/R

If it doesn't work, check the information in the quote above and then try again.

Best regards,

Thank you Bruno for your continuos help,

I tried your solution but the wmake ends with the followign error:

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

      Foam::calc(Foam::argList const&, Foam::Time const&, Foam::fvMesh const&) in R.o

make: *** [/Users/Nico/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/platforms/darwinIntel64Gcc46DPOpt/bin/R] Error 1

I also tried to wcleanAll and remake Allwmake but I keep getting the same error. Do you know some other way to bypass the problem?

thanks

Hello I was able to successfully install openfoam in mac osx . However as soon as I restart my computer, openfoam doesnt work and it shows that it is not installed. I followed the steps as per http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ho...enFOAM_v21_Mac . Please let me know what to do , Is it that using this method you need to install openfoam everytime you restart

[norman1981]

Dear Aditya,

I think you didn't add to your .bashrc file this line:

. OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.0/etc/bashrc

that set OpenFOAM environment when you start your terminal. You have also to mount the OpenFOAM dmg before opening the terminal.

If you have different OpenFOAM versions installed on your system you can add this line to your .bashrc file (change the path according to your OpenFOAM dmg file path):

alias of21='hdiutil attach "/PATH/TO/YOUR/DMG/OpenFOAM-2.1.x.dmg" -mountpoint "$HOME/OpenFOAM" > /dev/null ; . $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.x/etc/bashrc'

instead of the one I wrote above. In this case you have only to type "of21" to start using the OpenFOAM version that correspond to the specified dmg file. Note that this command will also mount the dmg file.

Hope this will help you in some way

Regards

Norman
