Hi

I'm having some toruble with the installation of OpenFOAM 1.5.

Running the installation test, I get a good result, and it looks like everything is fine:

However, when I try to run the frist tutortial, icoFoam/cavity, I get the following error:

bernard:/home/bernard/OpenFOAM/bernard-1.5/run/tutorials/icoFoam/cavity # blockMesh
blockMesh: error while loading shared libraries: libmeshTools.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
bernard:/home/bernard/OpenFOAM/bernard-1.5/run/tutorials/icoFoam/cavity # blockMesh .cavity
blockMesh: error while loading shared libraries: libmeshTools.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Checking which libraries are used, I see:

bernard:/home/bernard/OpenFOAM/bernard-1.5/run/tutorials/icoFoam/cavity # ldd `which blockMesh`
libmeshTools.so => not found
libdynamicMesh.so => not found
libOpenFOAM.so => not found

libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00002ba13b947000)

libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00002ba13c3f7000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002ba13b526000)

Thus the first three libraries are not found. Is there a way to set a path for these?

Any help much appreciated!

Hello Bernard,

first- I suppose you had root privilages while instalation:

sudo make install

and the second thing, did you add the line:

. $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5/etc/bashrc

to the end of your ~/.bashrc file?

thats all what comes to my mind right now, hope it helps

Thanks for the reply. Yes, those issues are sorted out. In the mean time I have figured out a part of the problem. The LD_LIBRARY_PATH did not contain all the required paths - I added the path to the libraries there, and it worked.
