critical error during installation of openfoam
Hello
I'm a new user, probably my problems are very easy to solve but it is the third time I try to install open foam but with any success:( I format my pc and re install ubuntu 10.04, 64 bit versions I start with the decompression of the 5 files and copy the line indicated in readme file in the home/bashrc I executed the foam installationtest and it show me this: Code:
Third party software thanks a lot:) Fabio |
Hi Fabio,
The error appears probably because in OpenFOAM's settings the system compiler is selected (gcc-4.4.3, living in /usr/bin/gcc). In the file /home/fabio/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6/etc/settings.sh you can find the settings for compilers (lines 111-115): Code:
# Select compiler installation |
thank you...
however I have Code:
# Select compiler installation it's the same thing? or you suggest me to check other things? thanks :) Fabio |
Greetings Fabio,
OK, lets review the steps you took:
Code:
cd $HOME/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.6/gcc-4.3.3/platforms/linux64/lib64 Finally, ParaView/paraFoam will not work :( The pre-built version is too incompatible with the latest Ubuntu 10.04. You'll have two choices:
In case you want to rebuild OpenFOAM and would like for paraFoam to work, then try installing OpenFOAM 1.6.x using this script: http://code.google.com/p/openfoam-ubuntu/ This way you'll get the latest version of OpenFOAM 1.6.x and should get ParaView up and running. If you have difficulties using it, see this thread: OpenFOAM 1.6.x Installer for Ubuntu Edit: the following post has step by step instructions on how to use the script: Installing OpenFOAM 1.6 on Ubuntu 10.4 post #6 Best regards, Bruno |
thank you very much:)
I've done all ...now I'm waiting, I follow the last link you gave me for the installation of OF1.6x I hope it will go well!!! however thank you againg:) |
there is a problem:

Third party software for example: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...c-4-4-1-a.html I follow this or you suggest me other? thanks:) Fabio |

The newly installed OpenFOAM should work now! :) Just follow the user guide tutorials to see if things are really working or not: Chapter 2 Tutorials Best regards, Bruno |

Build ParaView: thank you:) Fabio |

Oooops... that error has already been reported and there is a fix but it hasn't yet been applied to the main script version :(
OK, read this post: OpenFOAM 1.6.x Installer for Ubuntu #76 And follow through the first link written there. I haven't had time to fix the main script nor to write some more specific instructions on how to use the experimental script. Best regards, Bruno |
perfect...now I try..
but onl one thing... in the installation mode I've to chose server in the "chose install settings" I select: use startFoam alias and use OpenFOAM gcc compiler? no others? in the "chose paraview settings" build paraview with gui? these settings are correct? I know that probably my questions are so stupid....:( but I'm a newbie of linux:( thanks a lot for your patience:) |

I have run 1.6x with the error I have described you
my question is about the experimental setting... best regards:) Fabio |
OK, with the experimental script, choose the "custom" option, not server nor fresh.
Then choose to build Qt and/or ParaView. Then when the menu with the options for ParaView and Qt, choose to build both Qt and ParaView (1st and 2nd options) and the remaining options depend on what you'll need: GUI, Python, MPI. Don't try OSMesa for now. Then it will download Qt to build it for using with ParaView. Best regards, Bruno |
open foam hate me!!!:)
I follow your instructions and apparently go all well...no error messages I try after to open paraview but I don't know why it isn't present I try after to see if Open foam start but the foam installation test give me errors both for 1.6 and 1.6.x Code:
Checking basic setup... http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...oam-1-6-a.html but it is for 1.6....I can follow? if it can help you, now there is write in the bashrc file in my home these lines(at the end) Code:
fi however now the important thing is to have open foam, after I install paraview from ubuntu software center and I'll use foamtoVTK as you had suggested me before... but how can I solve this problem? :( I'm very sad for all these problems and relative questions:( bye Fabio |

Now, if you want both OpenFOAM versions to be available, then edit the $HOME/.bashrc script and change that line you posted to these two lines: Code:
alias startFoam16x=". /home/fabio/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/etc/bashrc" And finally, you should have at least OpenFOAM 1.6.x ready to go :D Best regards, Bruno |
after many days and your big big patience in my pc there is open foam 1.6x and the foaminstalation test go well:D:D:D
I'm very happy... now there are also available the commands paraview and parafoam....but there is a problem of libraries... Code:
fabio@fabio-laptop:~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/tutorials/incompressible/icoFoam/cavity$ paraview and now.... paraview open!!!! now I've to try the program but I hope it go well:) thanks a lot for all your help:) bye Very Happy Fabio:D |
