I have installed OpenFOAM 1.2 on an AMD64 debian system today.

Installation is ok, but when I try to start FoamX I receive this error:

The problem is that /home/claudio/OpenFOAM/linuxAMD64/j2sdk1.4.2_05/bin/java exists!

If I edit ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.2/.bashrc and change $JAVA_HOME to /usr (I have java installed in /usr/bin/) I receive this error:

Has anyone an idea to solve this?

Never seen that one.

I would double check that your /home/claudio/OpenFOAM/linuxAMD64/j2sdk1.4.2_05/bin/java exists and is executable and no capitalization mistakes etc. Works fine over here.

Alternatively rebuild all of FoamX with your version.

[cfdengineering]

I checked that file, and it sadly exists

here it is:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 claudio claudio 64940 2004-06-04 06:32 /home/claudio/OpenFOAM/linuxAMD64/j2sdk1.4.2_05/bin/java

How can I rebuild FoamX without reinstalling all OpenFOAM stuff?

On this debian system I have java-sablevm installed and it usually lets me do all java-things I need.

If you have a suggestion for a FoamX rebuild I would be really happy to follow your instructions...

[mattijs]

Check that all arguments to the java invocation (see the FoamX script) all exist etc. If I add 'set -x' to the FoamX script my invocation is:

/home/dm2/henry/OpenFOAM/linuxAMD64/j2sdk1.4.2_05/bin/java -cp .:/home/dm2/henry/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.2/applications/utilities/preProcessing/Foa mX/lib/FoamX.jar:/home/dm2/henry/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.2/applications/utilities/pr eProcessing/FoamX/lib/jlfgr-1_0.jar -DFoamX.SystemPath=/home/dm2/henry/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.2 -DFoamX.SystemConfigPath=/home/pinky2/mattijs/.OpenFOAM-1.2/apps/FoamX -DFoamX.UserConfigPath=/home/pinky2/mattijs/.OpenFOAM-1.2/apps/FoamX FoamX.App -ORBDefaultInitRef corbaloc:iiop:1.0:dm:1234


Rebuilding is a matter of (if you're lucky) just executing the ./Allwmake in the preProcessing/FoamX directory (after you've set the correct JAVA_HOME etc. vars)

You'll need to have idlj installed which I think comes with the sdk.

[cfdengineering]

If I add set -x to the FoamX script this is the output:

I hope this makes sense for you.
Java is not my very best love

[mattijs]

My advice would be to stick to the linuxAMD64/j2sdk1.4.2_05/bin/java and try running a simple test program with it. (sorry have none)

good luck.

[cfdengineering]

My "file not found" problem is solved now!
I installed blackdown's sdk into $WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR/$WM_ARCH/j2sdk1.4.2_02/j2sdk1.4.2
and FoamX does not report this error anymore.

Now the problem is that the application does not start, reporting the following error:

HostBrowser running.....
Using jar /home/claudio/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.2/applications/utilities/preProcessing/FoamX/l ib/FoamX.jar
Using jar /home/claudio/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.2/applications/utilities/preProcessing/FoamX/l ib/jlfgr-1_0.jar

/home/claudio/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.2/bin/runFoamXHB: line 1: 32569 Killed nsd -ORBIIOPAddr $myIOP --ior $FOAMX_CONFIG/ns.ref </dev/null

The "Exception in thread "main"" seems something critical, can you help me, guys?
Thanks

[mattijs]

so what sdk was in $WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR/$WM_ARCH/j2sdk1.4.2_02/j2sdk1.4.2 before? The one downloaded from the OpenFOAM site?

Check your lib/FoamX.jar (jar tvf lib/FoamX.jar) for whether the FoamX/app.class is there. Maybe try restoring it from the 'General' OpenFOAM pack?

[cfdengineering]

I used the one downloaded from OpenFOAM.org in $WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR/$WM_ARCH/j2sdk1.4.2_05 as written in your instructions.
Now I installed an sdk downloaded from blackdown.org, but it's subversion is 02, instead of 05, so I changed JAVA_HOME conveniently.
I'm going to office now, I'll have a look to lib/FoamX.jar and I'll report here.

[cfdengineering]

Ok, problem solved!
In lib/FoamX.jar there is no app.class
I downloaded OpenFOAM-1.2.General.gtgz for linux 32, extracted FoamX.jar and overwritten it on the previous version.
Now it works!!!
Please regenerate the amd64 package.

[mattijs]

Thanks for sorting it out.

Hi to everybody!
I have a 64bits processor and a 64bits Debian distribution. I have downloaded OpeanFOAM 3th march 2006.
When I put "FoamX", the following error message is obtained:

What am I doing wrong?
I would be really grateful if someone could help me.

Guess it has to do with locale or language settings (search for 'LANG') in java. No idea how to solve it.

Hello everybody,

i am getting a similar error message when i start FoamX:

I'm asking because if you post your solution here it can be useful for someone else. Thanks!
