OpenFoam install script Error during paraFoam installation
 
Hello,
I'm new to this forum. Thanks for that great script. I would never manage to install the program correctly without it!

However, there still occurred an error during the building paraFoam part.
I would be very thankful if someone of the more advanced guys here could help me out, I'm completely new to openFoam and CFD in general.

edit: I just recognized that two ThirdParty-folders were created: "ThirdParty-1.6" and "ThirdParty-1.6.x". Could this be the reason for the script not finding all variables needed?

The last part of the logfile says:

PHP Code:
CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:

Greetings Sebastian and welcome to the forum,

First of all, I can only assume you are speaking of this script: http://code.google.com/p/openfoam-ubuntu/

Secondly, the support thread for it is this one: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...er-ubuntu.html
No problem you posting in a separate thread, it's just this way you had a lesser probability of me or Fabio picking up on it.

Now, for the installation issue you've got: fortunately it already has been discovered and fixed. Please follow these instructions:

Hello Bruno,
thanks for the advice, the other installer worked fine, no errors.

But now I get an error when typing in "paraFoam":

PHP Code:
sepe@sepe-laptop:~/code/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/tutorials/incompressible/icoFoam/cavity$ paraFoam
created temporary 'cavity.OpenFOAM'

I'm running a 32-bit-version of Ubuntu 10.04 by the way.

You're welcome, and I'm glad it worked.

Arg... I completely forgot about that issue :( I gotta fix that too... OK, the quickest way for you to fix it is to run the following command in a terminal with OpenFOAM's environment already up and running:
Code:
for a in $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/qt-x11-opensource-src-4.3.5/platforms/$WM_OPTIONS/lib/*.4; do b=`echo $a | sed -e 's/.*\/\(.*\)$/\1/'`; ln -s $a $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/paraview-3.6.1/platforms/$WM_ARCH$WM_COMPILER/bin/$b; done
I know, it's a long line of code, but please don't skip a single character!! It should fix that issue you've gotten!

Best regards,
Bruno

It finally works, thanks to your script and additional help.
You're my hero!

I'm glad it's finally working :) And the script isn't just mine, it's also Fabio Canesin's and the work was started by Mads Reck, AFAIK.
As for being a hero... the cause is just and I only have been sacrificing some time of my life, and not my life itself, or so I hope :eek:!

And I thank you too for reporting the bugs with the script, which without it would take a few more days, weeks or maybe even months until it would be fixed...

Best regards and happy openfoaming ;)

Ok, now I'm completely devastated...

I just loaded the cavity-tutorial-case in paraFoam and again recieved two errors in ParaView.
I don't know what's wrong this time. I just ran the case not changing any of the files.

PHP Code:
ERROR: In /home/sepe/code/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/applications/utilities/postProcessing/graphics/PV3FoamReader/PV3FoamReader/vtkPV3FoamReader.cxx, line 189

That's odd, what commands did you execute to run the case?

SePe June 19, 2010 14:40
I just typed in "paraFoam".
After that, paraView starts and an "Output Messages"-window pops up with those errors.

Then your words were a bit misleading:
Quote:
I just ran the case not changing any of the files.
I assumed you had run the commands that the user guide talks about, and that you didn't change any of the files.
OK, the simplest execution of the cavity tutorial is to run the following commands:
Code:
blockMesh
icoFoam
And then you can run paraFoam :)
Actually, after blockMesh you can already run paraFoam, because a mesh is generated by blockMesh ;)

As for the user guide, I suggest that you read and follow the steps starting here: Chapter 2 Tutorials

Have a good reading and training session :) and read very carefully the steps that the guide shows you! And don't forget that Linux is very sensitive to letter casing... i.e., blockmesh isn't the same as blockMesh!

SePe June 19, 2010 15:15
Oh my god...
I read the tutorial a while ago before realizing my Installation did not work.
And due to the excitement that it could finally work I totally forgot about that :-)
Thanks again, Bruno!!!

Regards,
Sebastian
