Hi Bruno,

these are the results for the commands you gave me to check.

SYSTEMOPENMPI

/usr/lib/openmpi


/usr/bin/mpicc

/usr/bin/mpirun

seems like the file is actually located in bin folder.... just that the bashrc couldn't locate it

Hi Dinesh,

I didn't have a clear enough head in the past few days, but now I've clearly seen the possible problem. Try running this command:
If it shows you this path:
then it's because you are initializing the OpenFOAM shell environment twice, once with "WM_MPLIB=OPENMPI" and another with "WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI".

If this is the case, then edit the "~/.bashrc" with a text editor and remove the first line that refers to OpenFOAM, as I indicated in the post #18:
If you do not know what file I'm referring to, then run this command to see its path:
Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,

Yeah. there were two references and I commented out the first one. Thanks for the help again.

Good morning,

I have tried following the above guide for compiling OpenFoam-2.2.1. It has been successful. For people who already have the 2.2.0 or 2.2.x installed on their machine, the following modification could save a bit of time:

Instead of downloading and compiling all the ThirdParty software, merely do the following in your OpenFOAM-directory for a 2.2.0 version (modify accordingly, if you have 2.2.x.)

This create a symbolic link to the already working ThirdParty compilation, and the compilation of OpenFoam-2.2.1 works smoothly.

Kind regards

Niels
