Yes - it works for me too
 

Bruno

I found the combination of gcc-4.7.3, binutils-2.23 and cmake-2.8.3 compiled just fine. I agree that it is most likely the binutils - perhaps something broken in the loader with RHEL; but I would not have guessed it.

Thanks Again

Tony

Follow up to gcc 4.7.2
 

Bruno

I made some more tests of the build of cmake. Here is what I found with
gmp-5.0.4 mpc-0.9 mpfr-3.1.0 in each case

gcc cmake binutils Build?
4.7.2 2.8.12.1 2.23 No
4.7.2 2.8.3 2.23 No
4.7.2 2.8.3 2.22 No
4.7.3 2.8.3 2.23 Yes
4.7.3 2.8.4 2.23.2 Yes
4.7.3 2.8.12.1 2.23 Yes
4.7.3 2.8.12.1 2.23.2 Yes

So for me everything I tried with 4.7.3 worked while everything with 4.7.2 failed. So I do not understand your magic touch that enabled a build with 4.7.2 - unless the build you thought was 4.7.2 was in fact 4.7.3.

In any case I am OK at this point - I have built a number of working versions of OpenFOAM - I just need to edit settings.sh to change 4.7.2 to 4.7.3.

Error in executing ./Allwmake during OpenFOAM 2.2.2 installation
 

Dear all,
I am new to OpenFOAM and Linux. Currently I am trying to install OpenFOAM in CentOS 6.5 for i686 machine. I followed the instructions from http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...CentOS_SL_RHEL but encountered some problem at no 13 instruction which is ./Allwmake. Please advise. sorry for the inconvenience because it is quite long.

the error as below:

I am not an expert in this, but the first complaint is that it cannot find libblockMesh.so. It should be in OpenFOAM-2.2.2/platforms/linux64Gcc45DPOpt/lib or similar. If not you need to check for errors in the build of OpenFOAM itself perhaps.

Tony

Greetings to all!

@Azraf: Tony is correct. There seems to have been bigger problems while building OpenFOAM itself.
Please follow the instructions in step #11.

Best regards,
Bruno

CMake build error
 

Hello,

I was installing OpenFOAM 2.2.2 and paraview on Centos6.4 by followng the instruction of-http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Installation/Linux/OpenFOAM-2.2.2/CentOS_SL_RHEL#CentOS_6.4 .

OpenFoam installation was successful and it runs cases with parallel, but I got error when I was building CMake 2.8.3.

I look into the log files and didn't see any error until step no. 12.

I attached the error in log file. Would anyone please help me out.

Thanks

The log file seemed empty when I tried to read it. I think it should be larger than 183 bytes.

Tony

Sorry about empty file. here I updated the log file.

I had a similar error but not with gcc-4.5.2. I found that gcc-4.7.2 crashed on building cmake in the same way as in your log files with the "keypad" error. I found that switching to 4.7.3 worked fine. In post 22 I report builds that worked and those that did not.

However Bruno Santos, who is much more experienced than me, got a 4.7.2 build to work so I am not sure exactly what is wrong.

I would suggest

1) You go over the instructions for the build of cmake and make sure you are following them exactly.
2) Are you using binutils-2.20.1 as the instructions recommend. Bruno says this can make a difference.
3) Try with different version of gcc - e.g. 4.7.3. (see post 22)
4) I compared your log file with my successful build of cmake-2.8.3 with gcc-4.5.2. The first difference was on line 192

There is this thing "idna_to_ascii_lz in idn;dl" which my log reports as found and yours says not found. No idea why, but this may give you a place to start.

Good luck

Tony

Thanks Tony for your reply.

The binutils version is 2.23. Is that may cause any problem?

Thanks

Possibly - do try 2.20.1 and post the result.

Tony

oh...yes....it is binutils version that gives me the error.
binutils 2.20.1 is good to build cmake 2.8.3.

Thanks a lot for helping me out. Now I will build paraview.

Manjura

Maybe late to the party, but I found this page while searching for that particular error in building cmake. I was running gcc-4.7.2 and binutils-2.22. After compiling binutils-2.24 and rebuilding cmake, I still had the same error.

In the end, editing $CMAKE_BUILD/Source/CMakeFiles/ccmake.dir/link.txt and adding "-ltinfo" to the end of the line fixed the issue. Went back and tested with binutils-2.22 using a fresh build directory, and I was able to complete the build using that, as well.

All this might not be necessary on RH5-based distributions. I believe (but could be wrong) that they modified DSO linking between majors so you have to be a little more explicit now.

[edit]: Someone on the kbuild mailing list arrived at the same conclusion/solution for that project: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!to...el/0AMWriDGc8g

Greetings Jonathan and welcome to the forum!

And many thanks for sharing this information about building CMake!
I just have a couple of questions, just to confirm the situation, so that I can try and reproduce the same issue:

1. Which Linux Distribution did you use?
2. What does this command give you, when the OpenFOAM shell environment is ready to be used:
   
   Code:

   ---

   ld --version

   ---

Best regards,
Bruno
