Hi,

I've got a problem downloading and installing the new verison on fedora 19..

[lucas@localhost ~]$ sudo rpm -i http://www.openfoam.org/download/fed...0-1.x86_64.rpm


curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found
Fehler: überspringe http://www.openfoam.org/download/fed...0-1.x86_64.rpm - Übertragung fehlgeschlagen

Greetings Lucas and welcome to the forum!

Fedora is not officially supported in the latest OpenFOAM 2.3.0 release, as exemplified in the main download page: http://www.openfoam.org/download/ - and shown in the release notes: http://www.openfoam.org/version2.3.0/
They've replaced the respective support from Fedora to RHEL 6.x.

I don't known if they will ever have support for Fedora once again, but I've already reported that the menu link and page for Fedora is still hanging around: http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1165

I won't have much time in the near future to write instructions on how to build OpenFOAM 2.3.0 on Fedora, but you can use the following instructions as a base reference: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...M-2.2.2/Fedora

Best regards,

Hi Bruno and Lucas
Your method Bruno, works fine for the 2.3.x on Fedora 20 - 64 bit.

For the paraview, I did almost as recommended for RHEL at http://www.openfoam.org/download/git.php
I did
----------------------------------------------
cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR
./makeParaView4 -qmake $(which qmake-qt4)
cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV4Readers
wmSET
./Allwclean
./Allwmake
----------------------------------------------
Doing the following
"export Paraview_VERSION=3.12.0" and
"./makeParaView -qmake $(which qmake-qt4)"
didn't go so well...

cheers
Jon

Greetings Jon,

Many thanks for sharing your experience!

By the way, today I've finally written and tested the installation instructions for OpenFOAM 2.3.0 on Fedora 20: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...dora#Fedora_20

Best regards,
Bruno
