Start a new terminal and run:

Code:

source $HOME/foam/foam-extend-3.1/etc/bashrc
foam
tar -czf log.make.tar.gz log.make
pwd

The last command will tell you the full path to the folder where the file log.make.tar.gz" is located.

OK, finally, we now have a clear picture of what went wrong.

The problem is that you're not able to access the website sourceforge.net. If you open the file "make.log" with a simple text editor, search for the following error message:

Code:

ERROR 504: Gateway Time-out.

The first one you'll find is this block:

Code:

Download openmpi-1.6.5.tar.gz from : http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/openfoam-extend/foam-extend-3.1/ThirdParty/openmpi-1.6.5.tar.gz

2015-02-07 20:33:01 ERROR 504: Gateway Time-out.

The first line shown above tells which file is being downloaded and from where.

For example, for this first file, you need to search online for the file "openmpi-1.6.5.tar.gz", download it and place it inside the folder "~/foam/foam-extend-3.1/ThirdParty/rpmBuild/SOURCES".

Then do the same for all other files that have been reported in "make.log" that were not downloaded.

Hi Bruno i've done what you said. There was 6 "Gateway Time-out" error including not downloading these 6 files:
openmpi-1.6.5.tar.gz
metis-5.1.0.tar.gz
mesquite-2.1.2.tar.gz
scotch-6.0.0.tar.gz
PyFoam-0.6.1.tar.gz
hwloc-1.7.2.tar.gz
i downloaded them from this link http://sourceforge.net/projects/open....0/ThirdParty/
and copied to that direction. Please tell me the next step.

OK, now it's the same as before, namely:

foam

source $HOME/foam/foam-extend-3.1/etc/bashrc 
which icoFoam
which paraview

and if all goes well, please indicate what the last 2 lines give you.

6 to 8 hours, if compiled with only one core.

It seems like compiling is done after 10 minutes

.
This time just last command gave nothing.
Here is my terminal window:

sepinood@sepinood-Inspiron-N5010:~$ source $HOME/foam/foam-extend-3.1/etc/bashrc
sepinood@sepinood-Inspiron-N5010:~$ foam
sepinood@sepinood-Inspiron-N5010:~/foam/foam-extend-3.1$ ./Allwmake.firstInstall > log.make 2>&1

wyldckat · February 8, 2015, 08:50

Have a look into the file "log.make" to try and see where the error is now.

If you cannot understand what the error is, compress the latest file and attach it or provide a link for it.

OK, here we go, another lap around the block... hopefully this time ParaView will build... run the following commands:

Code:

export QT_SELECT=qt4
export QT_BIN_DIR=$(which qmake)
echo "export QT_BIN_DIR=$QT_BIN_DIR" >> etc/prefs.sh

source $HOME/foam/foam-extend-3.1/etc/bashrc 
foam
./Allwmake.firstInstall > log.make 2>&1

source $HOME/foam/foam-extend-3.1/etc/bashrc 
which icoFoam
which paraview

The third command have a problem.

bash: etc/prefs.sh: No such file or directory

Sorry, I forgot that the shell environment had to already be readied... try this:

Code:

source $HOME/foam/foam-extend-3.1/etc/bashrc 
foam

export QT_SELECT=qt4
export QT_BIN_DIR=$(which qmake)
echo "export QT_BIN_DIR=$QT_BIN_DIR" >> etc/prefs.sh

source $HOME/foam/foam-extend-3.1/etc/bashrc 
./Allwmake.firstInstall > log.make 2>&1

source $HOME/foam/foam-extend-3.1/etc/bashrc 
which icoFoam
which paraview

I need the latest log file to see what went wrong: "log.make"

cliff · February 8, 2015, 10:01

Here it is.
log.make.tar.gz

wyldckat · February 8, 2015, 10:24

What do the following commands give you?

Code:

which qmake
which qmake-qt4

If neither one give you anything, then run:

Code:

sudo apt-get install qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev libqtwebkit-dev

Then try again running the two commands above. If they now work, then do again the commands from my previous post.
