Hello Everyone,

I tried installing OpenFoam on my computer following the source installation instructions. After building everything the Installation test gives me the following:

Could someone please explaine what I can do? Do I have to change variables and compile again or can I copy something into the right place?

Thank you in advance

Hi,

Long introduction: this output

Code:
icoFoam 
WARNING: Conflicting installations:
OpenFOAM settings : /home/fazal/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-3.0.0/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/bin/icoFoam
current path : 
CRITICAL ERROR
is produced by function reportExecutable called like this:

Code:
reportExecutable icoFoam  "$FOAM_APPBIN/icoFoam"
first parameter is executable name (icoFoam), second parameter is location where it should be located. Function tries to locate executable with given name and compare result with canonical path.

Short conclusion: since your "current path" is empty, guess your compilation procedure finished with error and icoFoam was not built. What is output of "icoFoam -help"?

Dears,
I'm facing the same issue of Fazal (I'm using Ubuntu 15.10 running on Oracle Virtual Machine).
Dear Alexey, I would reply to the question made to Fazel (I guess that our issue is the same)

No OpenFoam command is available (icoFoam, simpleFoam, twoLiquidMixingFoam, etc. etc.) even if i call the OpenFoam bash source in my .bashrc

@Villo

Unfortunately I can only say that the error happened during your build process. So Allwmake script stopped and executables was not built.

I do not know if you have Allwmake script output but it is the only was to diagnose the error (well, if you still have terminal session with build output open...). Could you run Allwmake (after setting up environment variable etc.) like this:

Code:
$ ./Allwmake > log.Allwmake 2>&1
and then post compressed log.Allwmake?

IIRC there were errors during build on Fedora 22, yet I do not remember what were their reasons and how I fixed them.

Hello,

I`m facing the same problem too... (Using RHEL 5.3)

Here`s my make.log file.

Greetings to all!

Thanks to lhutifis' log file, I was able to notice that the problem is that the Boost package is missing from the official installation instructions. I've reported this here: http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1906

To install the complete Boost development package on Ubuntu, run:
Code:
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
If you prefer to keep it to the minimum, then use this:
Code:
sudo apt-get install libboost-system-dev libboost-thread-dev
By the way, keep in mind that as of this version, the build system will stop on the first major error, on contrary to how things worked in OpenFOAM 2.4 and older versions, which use to continue building even if any errors had occurred.


As for those who are not using Ubuntu, please state which Linux distribution you're using!!

edit: @lhutifis: Sorry, didn't notice that you had mentioned RHEL 5.3. Give me a few hours and I'll have the instructions on the wiki up for 3.0. In the meantime, you can try following the ones for OpenFOAM 2.4.x and CentOS 5.11: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...EL#CentOS_5.11 - what you are looking for are the instructions needed for installing Boost...

edit2: Sorry, only have the instructions up for Ubuntu https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...M-3.0.0/Ubuntu - and CentOS 6.7: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...HEL#CentOS_6.7 - for CentOS 5.x and 7.x will still take me a few more days until I have these two done.

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,

I'm trying to install OpenFoam2.4 following your instructions.
Everything went well until paraview installation. I'm facing this
error:


Code:
[ 96%] Generating Documentation HTMLs from xmls
CMake Error at /opt/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.4.0/ParaView-4.1.0/CMake/generate_proxydocumentation.cmake:18 (message):
  No xmlpatterns executable was defined!!!


make[2]: *** [Plugins/PointSprite/ParaViewPlugin/CSCS_PointSprite_Rendering.xml.xml] Error 1
make[1]: *** [Plugins/PointSprite/ParaViewPlugin/CMakeFiles/PointSprite_Plugin.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
Do you have any idea what could be causing this problem?

Thanks!


Edit: Everything is running now!

I just needed to compile Qt with -xmlpatterns option.

@lhutifis: Instructions for CentOS 5.11 is up and should work with RHEL 5.3: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...EL#CentOS_5.11

In addition, for CentOS 7.1 is also up: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...HEL#CentOS_7.1

This is a bit strange... the instructions on the wiki: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...EL#CentOS_5.11 - point to using the script makeQt, which seems to build "xmlpatterns" by default...

Hello Everyone,

I tried installing Openfoam 3.0+. Installation proceeded smoothly but at the end I get one critical error. Updated Boost lib files as well, as suggested by Bruno, but issue still remains . Here is my log file. Kindly help.

Quick answer: Run:
Code:
./Allwmake > log.make 2>&1
so that the actual error messages are sent into the log file. Because the one you attached doesn't have the actual error messages

Quick answer: Run the following commands:
Code:
#Go into OpenFOAM's main source folder
cd $WM_PROJECT_DIR
 
#Change how the flex version is checked
find src applications -name "*.L" -type f | xargs sed -i -e 's=\(YY\_FLEX\_SUBMINOR\_VERSION\)=YY_FLEX_MINOR_VERSION < 6 \&\& \1='

./Allwmake > log.make 2>&1
If all goes well, the problem will be solved.

it is rather strange, do you have openmpi-dev (since headers are there) and no openmpi (there are no libraries to link to)?

Also, you are trying to compile new version, why post your message to 3.0.0 thread?
