Hi!

I'm currently installing OpenFoam or at least try to...
I tracked the problem down to some modules which can't be compiled.
One is for example decompositionMethods.

marco@marco-vm:~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/src/decompositionMethods$ ./Allwmake 
+ wmake libso decompositionMethods
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lscotch
collect2: ld gab 1 als Ende-Status zurück
make: *** [/home/marco/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/lib/linuxGccDPOpt/libdecompositionMethods.so] Fehler 1
+ [ -d /home/marco/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/lib/linuxGccDPOpt/openmpi-1.3.3 ]
+ WM_OPTIONS=linuxGccDPOptOPENMPI
+ wmake libso parMetisDecomp
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmetis-parmetis
collect2: ld gab 1 als Ende-Status zurück
make: *** [/home/marco/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/lib/linuxGccDPOpt/openmpi-1.3.3/libparMetisDecompositionMethod.so] Fehler 1
marco@marco-vm:~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/src/decompositionMethods$

But as far as I can see scotch is a part of this decompositionMethods.

Hi

I have not reached 1.6 jet, however the error suggests to me that you have had problems compiling your ThirdParty software.

Good luck,

Niels

[mattijs]

Did you go download the thirdparty directory and do an ./Allwmake in there? That should build scotch.

[Weisswurst]

Ah, well I compiled the ThirdParty stuff but didn't regocniced one error due missing bison installation.

Thx for the hint!
