I am trying to build OpenFOAM-2.3.1 on SLES 10 SP1.

I tried with GCC-4.5.2 (gmp-5.0.1, mpfr-2.4.2, mpc-0.8.1) and binutils-2.20.1 packages. I edited settings.sh file so that openFOAM can recognize Gcc45 compiler. I tried with Gcc-4.5.2 as official instruction state Gcc compiler version should be higher than 4.5.0

For CGAL, I used boost_1_54_0 and gmp-5.0.1, mpfr-2.4.2. (mkCGAL.zip)

For paraview-3.12, I used cmake-2.8.12.1 and qt-4.8.4 packages.

OpenFOAM-2.3.1 (make-sum.log.tar.gz) as well as ParaView4.1 (mkPV-zip) didn't get built.

I am attaching log files.

Can anybody help me in this?

Greetings Hrushi,

From what I'm able to diagnose, it seems that:

• The installation of ParaView failed either due to a disk access problem, or a few files were missing for some reason. Nonetheless, it seems to have managed to install most of the necessary files, therefore it seems OK.
• The compilation of CGAL and Boost seems to have worked just fine.
• The compilation of OpenFOAM and Scotch failed due to a bad Flex and possible due to a bad Bison installation; more specifically, the versions of each being used. Try the latest Flex version and the Bison version 2.7.0.

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,

The compilation of OpenFOAM and Scotch failed due to a bad Flex and possible due to a bad Bison installation; more specifically, the versions of each being used. Try the latest Flex version and the Bison version 2.7.0.

I checked for Flex version. But I forgot to build flex initially. Now I tried with flex 2.5.35. OpenFOAM seems to got compiled. However, there is still problem with Paraview-3.12 installation. I have attached the log file.

I managed to get openfoam running in parallel mode on single machine.

I am not able to run openFoam solvers in parallel on multiple machines (nodes).

I tried with openmpi-1.6.5 and openmpi-1.4.1.

I used the following command.

foamJob -p interFoam

Following error comes:

The above error comes with both openmpi-1.6.5 and openmpi-1.4.1 versions.

Hi Hrushi,

Regarding ParaView, try building ParaView 4.1.0, by using the makeParaView4 script. Try using the information on step #18 from these instructions: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...EL#CentOS_5.10

Regarding running in parallel:

• I need to know how exactly are you setting up the shell environment for using OpenFOAM for choosing each Open-MPI version? Namely what changes did you make in OpenFOAM's "bashrc", "settings.sh" and how are you sourcing OpenFOAM's "bashrc".
  • For more details on what I'm referring to regarding sourcing: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...ment_Variables
• And I need to know how you're selecting each Open-MPI version.

Best regards,
Bruno

Yes. Paraview 4.1.0 has been successfully built by following instructions in the above link. I have attached the log file.

I need to know how exactly are you setting up the shell environment for using OpenFOAM for choosing each Open-MPI version? Namely what changes did you make in OpenFOAM's "bashrc", "settings.sh" and how are you sourcing OpenFOAM's "bashrc".

I changed the version of openmpi in settings.sh from 1.6.5 to 1.4.1.

export FOAM_MPI=openmpi-1.4.1

Then I again built the openFoam.

In my personal .bashrc file, I have following line

alias of231='source /Storage1/cfd/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.1/etc/bashrc WM_NCOMPPROCS=8 foamCompiler=ThirdParty WM_COMPILER=Gcc45 WM_MPLIB=OPENMPI'

Changing the Open-MPI version to 1.4.1 is pointless, unless you have the source code for it in the folder "ThirdParty-2.3.1".
Because if Open-MPI 1.4.1 is installed in your system, you should instead use this setting:

WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI

in the alias command you have in your ".bashrc" file.

Yes, I do have the source code for openmpi-1.4.1 in the folder "ThirdParty-2.3.1". I copied that from Thirdparty-1.7 folder.

I decided to try openMPI-1.4.1 beacuse with openMPI-1.6.1, I got the error as described in my previous reply. But the same error appeared with OpenMPI-1.4.1 version also.

Hi Hrushi,

Sorry, now I know what the problem is. This was fixed on this bug report recently: http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=231 - it's now already available on 2.3.x.

For 2.3.1, download the two files "foamExec" and "foamJob" from that bug report, then place the two of them in the folder "OpenFOAM-2.3.1/bin". This will fix your problem! Oh, and don't forget to set permissions for execution for them:

foam
chmod +x bin/foamExec bin/foamJob

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,

For 2.3.1, download the two files "foamExec" and "foamJob" from that bug report, then place the two of them in the folder "OpenFOAM-2.3.1/bin". This will fix your problem! Oh, and don't forget to set permissions for execution for them:
Code:
foam chmod +x bin/foamExec bin/foamJob

I downloaded both the files from above link and placed them in OpenFOAM-2.3.1/bin. I also set the permission for execution for these files.

However, same error appears after running interFoam solver using foamJob script.

What can be the reason?

Hi Hrushi,

OK, then we will have to resort to a better solution. These steps are assuming that the settings being used are meant to be global and not only personal:

1. Go into OpenFOAM's "etc" folder:
   

   foam
   cd etc

2. Create the file "prefs.sh" and place the contents you had in the alias. For example, you can do this by running:
   

   echo export WM_NCOMPPROCS=8 >> prefs.sh
   echo export foamCompiler=ThirdParty  >> prefs.sh 
   echo export WM_COMPILER=Gcc45  >> prefs.sh 
   echo export WM_MPLIB=OPENMPI  >> prefs.sh

3. Then try running foamJob the same way you did.

Best regards,
Bruno

Yes, This solved the issue. This is same as the solution you gave for OpenFOAM-2.0.1 at http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post354249

that was almost 3 years ago... well, good thing I managed to re-deduce it again
