OpenFOAM-1.6-ext installation on OpenSUSE 12.1

Hello everybody,

the last days I tried to install OpenFOAM-1.6-ext on OpenSUSE 12.1.
During installation I followed the instructions of this thread http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...1-4-64bit.html (first Post) and the last post of the following thread http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...11-10-x64.html to get ParaView working.

Finally, I didn't really succeed.
I attached my log-files of the Third-Party-Installation and of OpenFOAM. I guess it is a problem with openmpi. I thought I installed it correctly, but as newbie I'm not really sure.
I would be very thankful if someone could help me and give me a hint.
Thank you in advance!

Best regards,
Matthias

Here are the other logs!

done.

hi mathias i am doing the same it is the first time for me to compile openfoam1.6-ext on opensuse 12.1 and there are also some problems in the thirdparty

./Allmake.stage3 give the problem about

mesquite-2.1.2

so i think it is a problem with the distribution and openfoam that need to be find out i dont know what really happens till now

why you installing mesquite2.99?

Hi Tajoooko,

I replaced mesquite-2.1.2 by mesquite-2.99 as proposed in this thread http://www.extend-project.de/user-fo...ation-openfoam by Maria Garcia-Camprubi.

Quote:

Mesquite-2.1.2 source-code gave some compilation errors. Thus, I have used the latest available version, updating the mesquite version in:

~/OpenFOAM®®/OpenFOAM®®-1.6-ext/ThirdParty/AllMake.stage3: rpm_make -p mesquite-2.99 -s mesquite-2.99.spec -u software.sandia.gov/~jakraft/mesquite-2.99.tar.gz

in /OpenFOAM®®/OpenFOAM®®-1.6-ext/etc/settings.sh :
[ -z "$MESQUITE_SYSTEM" ] && [ -e $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/packages/mesquite-2.99/platforms/$WM_OPTIONS ] && { _foamSource $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/packages/mesquite-2.99/platforms/$WM_OPTIONS/etc/mesquite-2.99.sh }

and in ~/OpenFOAM®®/OpenFOAM®®-1.6-ext/ThirdParty/rpmBuild/SPECS/ :
mv mesquite-2.1.2.spec mesquite-2.99.spec
vim mesquite-2.99.spec : replace mesquite-2.1.2 with mesquite-2.99 ~/OpenFOAM®® $ cd OpenFOAM®®-1.6-ext/ ./Allwmake

And to say the truth I got it working on one of my desktops. There are still a lot errors but I can use the solvers that interest me. But I tried it on a few other computers and didn't succeed. Always with the same results in the logs and that is not really satisying.

Best regards,
Matthias

ah yes i do it now too it works fine but the next error is about

mpi.h --> not found

Do you mean in one of the wmake-log-files?

common.h:84:28: fatal error: mpi.h: No such file or directory

it seems that he is not finding the openMPI instalation but

thirdparty Allmake.stage3 gives:

========================================
Starting ThirdParty AllMake: Stage2
========================================

Package name : openmpi-1.4.3
Package URL : http://www.open-mpi.org/software/omp...i-1.4.3.tar.gz
RPM spec file name: openmpi-1.4.3.spec
Additional flags :
Updating the ThirdParty environment variables before building package openmpi-1.4.3
Package openmpi-1.4.3 is already installed
Done installing package

========================================
Done ThirdParty AllMake: Stage2
========================================

I finally succeeded the installation of OF-1.6-ext on OpenSUSE 12.1!
In my case the ThirdParty openmpi-1.4.3 doesn't install properly (until now I don't know why), because of that I used the systems openmpi-1.4.3 (I adjusted this in prefs.sh).

After that I got the next error:

Code:

+ wmake libso mesquiteMotionSolver

/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.6/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lmesquite

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make: *** [/home/matthias/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/lib/linux64GccDPOpt/libmesquiteMotionSolver.so] Fehler 1

This was an error caused by a different name of the library folder of MESQUITE2.99 (lib64 instead of lib), so the content of this folder couldn't be found.

The next error was:

Code:

In file included from vtkPV3Foam.C:28:0:

../PV3FoamReader/vtkPV3FoamReader.h:31:43: fatal error: vtkMultiBlockDataSetAlgorithm.h: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

compilation terminated.

make[3]: *** [Make/linux64GccDPOpt/vtkPV3Foam.o] Fehler 1

To solve this problem I had to change in the options-file of the following folder

Code:

cd ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/applications/utilities/postProcessing/graphics/PV3FoamReader/vtkPV3Foam/Make

Code:

-I$(PARAVIEW_INCLUDE_DIR)/paraview-3.12 \

to

-I$(PARAVIEW_INCLUDE_DIR)/paraview-3.10 \

After this I had no errors anymore!

Maybe this will help someone!

Matthias
