But the source pack can be installed in one's local directory and therefore would be easier for creating my own solver. As I indicated in my first posting this very version has been successfully installed on a linux cluster. I am trying to install on a new Workstation which is running on Ubuntu 11.04.

Hi All,

I also had the similar problem as follows:

lnInclude/Switch.H:140: note: candidates are: Foam::Switch::Switch(int)
lnInclude/Switch.H:134: note: Foam::Switch::Switch(bool)
lnInclude/Switch.H:62: note: Foam::Switch::Switch(const Foam::Switch&)
make: *** [Make/linux64GccDPOpt/argList.o] Error 1
+ wmake libso lagrangian/basic
wmakeLnInclude: linking include files to ./lnInclude
Making dependency list for source file passiveParticle/passiveParticleCloud.C
Making dependency list for source file indexedParticle/indexedParticleCloud.C

I am installing OF 1.7.0 in OpenSuse. I used the same source package to install it on my PC and that is successful. But when I did it on another machine, the error appears, and lots of the following appears:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lfiniteVolume

Does anybody know how to solve it?

best regards,
H

The linux kernal version is 2.6.18-194.17.1.el5.

Thank you very much for your help.

OK, I did some searching and it looks like in this case you've got either RHEL, or SL or CentOS 5.5 installed. For either one of those 3 and OpenFOAM 1.7.1, you've got these instructions: http://consultancy.edvoncken.net/index.php/OpenFOAM

In the same machine where I had tested fireFoam 1.6-1.0 and OpenFOAM 1.7.0, I've also tested with success with OpenFOAM 1.7.1. Therefore, I think it's safe for you to install OpenFOAM 1.7.1, but 1.7.0 should also work with the instructions from the link above.


As for openSUSE, which version do you have installed? 12.2, 12.1, 11.4, or older!? Run this command to know which version you've got:

cat /etc/SuSE-release

Best regards,
Bruno
