Hello everyone,

I was using openfoam7, but after version 8; I removed ver.7 and install openfoam8. At openfoam7 everything was quite good. But I got some problems after installation of openfoam8. I gave details of that problem below. I tried to reinstall openfoam7 but problem still continues.

It gives problem that is about libraries.

simpleFoam -help -->simpleFoam: error while loading shared libraries:libmomentumTransportModels.so: cannot open shared object file: Nosuch file or directory

ls -l openfoam8 -->ls: cannot access 'openfoam8': No such file or directory

ls -l openfoam7 -->ls: cannot access 'openfoam7': No such file or directory

cd /opt -->
/opt ll -->drwsrwsrwt 1 root root 4.0K Sep 22 00:57 openfoam8drwsrwsrwt 1 root root 4.0K Sep 22 00:57 paraviewopenfoam56

I checked my bash and root is:

source /opt/openfoam8/etc/bashrc

I checked that destination:

cd /opt/openfoam8/etc  -->
/opt/openfoam8/etc || ll -->

Well it is an interesting case.

• The ls command does not make any sense and will just let you know that there is no folder names openfoam8 at the location you are in your current shell
• The error gives you the hint that the library is not found
• It seems that during installation there was a error

Please let us know:

tree -L 2 /opt/openfoam8
which simpleFoam
echo $WM_PROJECT_DIR
find /opt/ -iname "libmomentumTransportModels.so"

Out of the box:

sudo apt remove --auto-remove openfoam8
sudo apt clean
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get -y install openfoam8
