hi there!

i got some problems using decomposePar on a computer where i do not have root access.

when i use decomposePar in the damBreak-case (not modified, all files original), the end of the output reads like that:

Processor 0: field transfer
Processor 1: field transfer
Processor 2: field transfer
Processor 3: field transfer

End.

*** glibc detected *** decomposePar: free(): invalid pointer: 0x000000000093d990 ***
*** glibc detected *** decomposePar: free(): invalid pointer: 0x000000000092ea80 ***
*** glibc detected *** decomposePar: free(): invalid pointer: 0x0000000000930b20 ***

and when i use "mpirun -np 4 interFoam -parallel" i get:

FOAM parallel run exiting

here is some system information that may give some clue...

- the system cpu is a quad core from intel "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Extreme"
- 8 GB of ram are installed
- the system is running OpenSUSE 11.2
- OpenFOAM 2.0.0 is installed via compilation of sources according to the official guide
- all "--version" checks mentioned in this guide have been checked
- the foamInstallationTest script is giving good results

i am thankful for your help!

best regards...


/edit1:

when i use scotch instead of simple in the decompose dict file, i still get the same result:

Processor 0: field transfer
Processor 1: field transfer
Processor 2: field transfer
Processor 3: field transfer

End.

/edit2:

my guess is that the installed packages are not sufficient to run OF properly. is there a way to get a list of all needed packages for OF 2.0.0 and install them manually?
