Dear Foamers:

I have a laptop that I recently installed openSUSE 12.2 32 bit. It runs gnome with the cinnamon flavor.

uname -a returns:

Linux 3.4.11-2.16-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Sep 26 17:05:00 UTC 2012 (259fc87) i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Following the instructions on the openFOAM.org for the SuSE RPM Pack Installation (which is for openSUSE 12.1) , I tried to install OpenFOAM 2.1.1.

1. sudo zypper in libqt4 libQtWebKit4. These libraries were already included in the installation.

2. sudo zypper in openmpi. This installs openmpi-1.5.4-4.1.4 which is not liked by openFOAM installation and complains about several libraries missing.

sudo rpm -i http://www.openfoam.org/download/sus...1.1-1.i586.rpm 

error: Failed dependencies:
       libmpi.so.0 is needed by OpenFOAM-2.1.1-1.i586
       libopen-pal.so.0 is needed by OpenFOAM-2.1.1-1.i586
       libopen-rte.so.0 is needed by OpenFOAM-2.1.1-1.i586

Adding these lines in /usr/lib/mpi/gcc/openmpi/lib did not help.

      ln -s libmpi.so.1.0.2  libmpi.so.0
      ln -s libopen-pal.so.3.0.0  libopen-pal.so.0
      ln -s libopen-rte.so.3.0.0  libopen-rte.so.0

openSUSE software manager could not un-install openmpi and kept crashing. Eventually, I used: sudo zypper remove openmpi

3. openmpi-1.4.3-18.1.2.i586.rpm was installed.

4. OpenFOAM-2.1.1-1.i586.rpm was installed.

5. cmake was installed.

6. As root, source /opt/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc works?

7. As user, source /opt/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc returns;

bash: /opt/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc: line 143: syntax error near unexpected token `done'
bash: /opt/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc: line 143: `    done'

However, if I comment my $PS1 in my ~/.bashrc, and do not source my aliases, then it also works for the user.

8. And finally, Allwmake complains about libOpenFOAM and OpenFOAM does not work. The errors in Allwmake (run several times) are given below;

grep -i error log.allwmake.txt

I think, I may need to install a lower version of the Gcc, but I am not sure which one to use.

Any suggestions on fixing this problem is greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
