version GLIBCXX_3.4.9 and GLIBCXX_3.4.11 not found
 

Hi,

I have installed OpenFOAM in my directory on a cluster. I have also been able to run an interactive parallel computation. However, when I try to run a batch job using a PBS script, I get the following error message:

blockMesh: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by blockMesh)

The message is the same for all the other OpenFOAM commands, such as setFields, decomposePar, reconstructPar etc.

My installation uses the ThirdParty gcc supplied with OpenFOAM although I initially used the system's compilers but changed it when I had some errors after running foamInstallationTest. The system runs on MPICH and not OpenFOAM's OpenMPI.

I have tried to create and rename the symbolic link by doing:

cd /home/USER_NAME/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.6.x/gcc-4.3.3/platforms/linux64/lib64
mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.orig
ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.8 libstdc++.so.6

But I still get the error messages.

Could someone please help?

Thanks
Ovie

I am sorry I should have post this in the OpenFOAM forum.

My apologies.
