Incomplete installation of OpenFOAM 2.1.1 on ubuntu 12.10
 
Hello
To install I followed the instructions 2.4 Ubuntu 12.10
http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...u#Ubuntu_12.10
by following the detailed step-by-step instructions below...
Steps:
  1. Switch to root mode (administrator) and install the necessary packages (run one line at a time):
… all the way down
I got a file OpenFOAM and within that
file OpenFOAM-2.1.1 (not the file ThirdParty-2.1.1) and
OpenFOAM-2.1.1.tgz
ThirdParty-2.1.1.tgz
icoFoam –help Does not give anything
gedit ~/.bashrc doesn’t contain line OpenFOAM
Question:Do I have to uninstall and start from the beginning?
Thanks

Greetings zania and welcome to the forum!

Inside the folder "$HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1", do you have a file named "make.log"? If you do, follow the instructions that were given on the instructions, namely:
Code:
#Create a tarball in case you've seen any errors (it's the first error that matters)
#or if you don't understand the output
#and attach the file "make.log.tar.gz" to a post in the designated thread

tar -czf make.log.tar.gz make.log
edit: A follow-up question: what did you exactly do in step #3?

Best regards,
Bruno

Hello Bruno
Thanks for your welcome and the quick response!
Inside the folder “OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1”, I do not have a file named "make.log"?

To your follow-up question: what did you exactly do in step #3? I copied
For i386:
#here you can change 4 to the number of cores you've gotsource $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc WM_NCOMPPROCS=4 WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI WM_ARCH_OPTION=32 echo "source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc $FOAM_SETTINGS" >> $HOME/.bashrc
All the Best

Hi zania,

OK, then check the following details:
  1. What does this output:
    Code:
    echo $HOME
    ls -l $HOME
    It should tell you where your home folder is and also list the contents of your home folder.
  2. What does this output:
    Code:
    ls -l $HOME/OpenFOAM
    It should show you the contents of the OpenFOAM folder, which should be 2 "*.tgz" files and 2 folders for "OpenFOAM-2.1.1" and "ThirdParty-2.1.1".
  3. And what does this output:
    Code:
    ls -l $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1
    It should show you a file list similar to this one: https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.x
If either one of these do not correspond to the description I made, then let us know!

Best regards,
Bruno

Hello Bruno Thank you for your patience!
Trying your instructions:
  1. What does this output:

  1. What does this output:
Code:

It should show you the contents of the OpenFOAM folder, which should be 2 "*.tgz" files and 2 folders for "OpenFOAM-2.1.1" and "ThirdParty-2.1.1".
ls: αδυναμία πρόσβασης του (Its in Greek: inability to access) /home/eva/OpenFOAM: Δεν υπάρχει τέτοιο αρχείο ή κατάλογος (there is not such file)
And what does this output:

eva@eva-Inspiron-1525:~$ ls -l $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1

It should show you a file list similar to this one: https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.x

After the installation a file OpenFOAM was created @ user eva that contains
eva@eva-Inspiron-1525:~$ cd OpenFOAM

Hi zania,

Looks like you forgot to run the exit command at the end of the step #1. This lead to having the "OpenFOAM" folder set to root permissions:
Quote:
Code:
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Φεβ  20 20:10 OpenFOAM
You can restore permissions to this folder by running:
Code:
sudo chown -R eva:eva /home/eva/OpenFOAM
To play it safe, I suggest that you start a new terminal window and fix the missing part of step #2:
Code:
cd ~
cd OpenFOAM
tar xzf ThirdParty-2.1.1.tgz
If after this the folder "ThirdParty-2.1.1" doesn't exist, then the file "ThirdParty-2.1.1.tgz" might be broken...


Afterwards, continue from step #3. And keep in mind that you only need root permissions for the very first step! After that, you do not need root permissions!

Best regards,
Bruno

zania February 27, 2013 15:00
Hi Bruno,
I am sorry to come back.
"ThirdParty-2.1.1" now exists.
But continuing from step #3 I got:

wyldckat February 27, 2013 17:06
Hi zania,

I think I now understand what happened. The instructions on step #1 have (had) the following code at the very beginning:
Code:
sudo -s
#or
su -
The idea was to execute only one of these two commands, not both. I'll take care of making these instructions clearer...


Anyway, try running the following, one line at a time:
Code:
sudo -s
 
apt-get install build-essential cmake flex bison zlib1g-dev qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev gnuplot libreadline-dev libncurses-dev libxt-dev libopenmpi-dev openmpi-bin
 
exit
Then start a new terminal. There shouldn't be any error messages. Then:
  1. Go into OpenFOAM's main folder:
    Code:
    cd ~/OpenFOAM
  2. Follow the instructions starting from step #4.

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi zania,

You forgot to add "bin" to the end of the apt-get line. Try this:
Code:
sudo apt-get install openmpi-bin

Can I redo step #4?
 
Ηello Bruno
eva@eva-Inspiron-1525:~$ cd ~/OpenFOAM

Error: Current directory is not $WM_PROJECT_DIR
The environment variables are inconsistent with the installation.
Check the OpenFOAM entries in your dot-files and source them.

Can I open a new terminal and
Code:
cd ~/OpenFOAM
and
Follow the instructions starting from step #4.

I know your instructions are right. I just don’t follow them correctly.
All the best

Hi zania,

Run:
Code:
source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc WM_NCOMPPROCS=4 WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI WM_ARCH_OPTION=32
And try step #4 once again.

Best regards,

Do I have to exit terminal?
 
Hi Bruno

Q1) Do I have to exit terminal after the above two sudo … steps ?
Q2)After running code source … (of the above)
do I go to step #5 of the original instructions?
Thanks
All the best

Sorry, I forgot to emphasize that when using sudo in-line with the command, it does not require you to exit from root mode, because sudo will only go into root more for that one line.

I was hoping you would tell me first if the same error still occurred or not.
If there aren't any more error messages, then you must go to step #4. It's only after step #4 that you can to #5 ;).

Best regards,
Bruno

zania March 7, 2013 06:39
Can I add the echo … line now?
 
Hello Bruno
I know I give you a hard time!
I did the steps
Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake flex bison zlib1g-dev qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev
And then run:
Code:
sudo apt-get install gnuplot libreadline-dev libncurses-dev libxt-dev libopenmpi-dev openmpi-bin
Then try again:
Code:
source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc WM_NCOMPPROCS=4 WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI WM_ARCH_OPTION=32

eva@eva-Inspiron-1525:~$ source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc WM_NCOMPPROCS=4 WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI WM_ARCH_OPTION=32


with no error

I did notecho "source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc $FOAM_SETTINGS" >> $HOME/.bashrc
and then step #4

eva@eva-Inspiron-1525:~$ cd OpenFOAM-2.1.1
bash: cd: OpenFOAM-2.1.1: There is not such file

so I tried

eva@eva-Inspiron-1525:~$ ls

From within the case (cavity) directory
I typed blockMesh and got the message
Command missing or something like that
I do not have the line OpenFOAM … in the .bashrc file. Is it because of the missed echo … line? Can I type it now?

Thanks

wyldckat March 7, 2013 08:23
You can do step #3 without any concerns. Feel free to edit the file "$HOME/.bashrc", to check what is already inside it.

As for not being able to run blockMesh, do as instructed in step #5:
Code:
#Create a tarball in case you've seen any errors (it's the first error that matters)
#or if you don't understand the output
#and attach the file "make.log.tar.gz" to a post in the designated thread
tar -czf make.log.tar.gz make.log

zania March 8, 2013 05:07
The mistakes I made
 
Hello Bruno
I got OpenFOAM installed finally (with much help)!
Thank you very much.

I had no experience at all in Ubuntu. The first mistake I made was at the beginning when I gave the code sudo, typing the user password, I was expecting ****** or something like that to appear. Since nothing happened I tried su.

All the Best
