Hello OF users!

I have problem, after new installation of OF 171, blockmesh would not run saying:

blockMesh: symbol lookup error: /home/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.1/lib/linuxGccDPOpt/libfiniteVolume.so: undefined symbol: _ZTIN4Foam16regionPropertiesE

the same error running splitMeshRegions, maybe for some other applications as well. Does anybody have any idea?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I know this is an old post but I am also getting a similar error. I have just compiled a BC without errors and now when i run blockMesh with that boundary condition in place i get:

blockMesh: symbol lookup error: /home/srivathsan/OpenFOAM/srivathsan-2.1.1/platforms/linuxGccDPOpt/lib/libfiniteVolume.so: undefined symbol: _ZTIN4Foam35newDirectionMixedFvPatchVectorFieldE

Were you able to correct the error? What is the problem here?

If I'm not mistaking, you get this error when you don't include the library in the controlDict-file. So adding something like:

libs 
( 
        "libnew1.so" 
        "libnew2.so" 
);

to the controlDict-file should solve the problem.

You can find more info at http://www.openfoam.org/docs/user/co...plications.php

Cheers,

Hi Lieven,

Thank you. I understand what you've written.

I wrote my BC as a derived boundary condition and compiled it in finiteVolume/fields/fvPatchFields/derived/myNewBC (this is in FOAM_USER src directory). I made the necessary additions to the 'Make' folder in the finite volume directory and gave a wmake. Shouldn't this be enough?

I've added libfiniteVolume.so to the controlDict of my case file too, but I get the same error. I'm missing some vital point w.r.to linking libraries. Can't figure out what.

Hi Sherlock,

Have you solved the problem.
What do you mean exactly by 'finite volume directory'?
Could you post your options-file from the Make folder?

Cheers,

Lieven

Hi Lieven,

I've attached my options file. I am not sure what to add in the EXE_INC and EXE_LIBS. The boundary condition is named 'newDirectionMixed' and is present in my solver directory.

Can you spot where I've gone wrong?

Thanks.

Hi Srivathsan,
This is 5 years back, but I'm facing same issue now.
Same is the case with me, I have created my own boundary condition in finite volume directory and compiled it with wmake, when I run any command like blockMesh or icoFoam or any other solver it is showing me same error, is your issue solved back then? Can you please share your experience?

Thanks,
Sunil.
