Hi all,

I'm trying to install OpenFOAM 2.3.0 on CentOS 6.6 according to the guide on OpenFOAM's wiki:
https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...HEL#CentOS_6.5

I've followed all the steps but when trying to build ParaView, it complaints about an Intel library that does not exist since I'm not using Intel compiler of any kind.

The error I'm getting:

/opt/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.3.0/platforms/linux64/gcc-4.8.1/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.8.1/../../../../x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld: warning: libimf.so, needed by /usr/local/lib/libz.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)

If I try to ignore it and proceed with the following steps:

cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV4Readers 
wmSET $FOAM_SETTINGS
./Allwclean 
./Allwmake

I get the following error:

ERROR: ParaView not found in /opt/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.3.0/platforms/linux64Gcc48/ParaView-4.1.0

Any ideas ?

Greetings Dennis,

According to your previous post, you once tried out the Xeon Phi co-processor and that apparently left a mark on your system. More specifically, the file:

/usr/local/lib/libz.so

seems to still be present from those days.

The way I see it, you have at least two choices:

1. Simply delete that file, in case you no longer use the Xeon Phi.
2. Or edit out the path "/usr/local/lib" from the "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" shell environment variable.

Best regards,
Bruno
