Compilation of redistributeMeshPar failed due to an unresolved reference.

The failure occured with the following:
SUSE 8.1

Itanium 2 (IA64)

Quoting from Mattijs in an earlier post[1]:

Looks like your C++ compiler does not compile correctly (undefined reference to `___tls_get_addr' )

Try recompiling gcc from sources and see if you can compile&/link any (non-Foam) c++ program.

Srinath,
Thanks for the suggestion. However, I don't think that it is this simple, for several reasons.

1) I did compile this g++ from sources a few months ago and used it to install OF1.4 previously.
2) I have successfully compiled OF1.4.1 up to this point.
3) Compiling a non-Foam (hello world) C++ test works fine.

I'll keep digging. I wonder if it has to do with METIS ? I think that is where libGKlib comes from. Could be a ./configure problem.

[mattijs]

Looks like a metis related issue. 'ldd $FOAM_LIBBIN/*' throws up libGKlib only in libmetis.so.

[schmidt_d]

Mattijs,
You are probably correct. Note that I upgraded to gcc 4.2.1 (compiled from sources) and I am still seeing the same problem.

Closure:
After spending four whole days trying to get the full code (OF and Metis) to compile on the Itanium 2 with any of:

gcc 4.2
gcc 4.1
gcc 3.2
Intel v. 8
Intel v. 9

...I am going back to OF 1.3. Compilation failed for different reasons with each compiler. The OF distribution has just gotten harder and harder to compile from sources.

It has been a while since I've built OpenFOAM from sources. I was planning on doing it next week. I'll give it a try this weekend. Let's see how it goes.

[schmidt_d]

It can be done with a little trying on an Intel architecture machine or a machine where you are root (or where you can at least tell Mr. root what to do). If you are a remote non-Intel site where the sysadmin is not going to upgrade the OS or compilers, life gets more frustrating.

Has anybody experience in compiling OpenFOAM-1.4.1 with Intel compiler v 9.0? Especially the metis-5.0pre2 libs? I always get errors like
trunk/error.c(20): error: identifier "__thread" is undefined
__thread jmp_buf gk_return_to_entry;

....

With the gnu c-compiler this works all fine but not with the intel compiler?!

Any hints? Thanks!

I have successfully compiled and run OpenFOAM-1.4.1 with the Intel C++ compiler version 10.0 on a dual core, dual processor Xeon 5160 machine. Also I have compiled and runOpenFOAM-1.4 with Intel C++ compiler version 9.1 but neither with 9.0 which has too many problems.

To compile OpenFOAM-1.4.1 with Intel C++ version 10.0 you will need to apply the patch I posted in thread

And Done! I just finished compiling OF 1.4.1 from scratch on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 64-bit edition. I built binutils, then gcc and then paraview and finally OpenFOAM. Went very nicely. Hardware is my laptop Intel Core 2 duo - 2 GB RAM - Intel GMA 950 Graphics. This would not have been possible without the beautiful HOWTO on the wiki page[1]. Many thanks to the author!

Hi,

I need to access the document "How to compile OpenFOAM". As the wiki server is now down, is there another place to find it ?

Thanks,
Isabelle
