I have the same problem. As far as I know zlib is included in third party software. So what could be the reason for this problem?

Greetings misakagan,

The library zlib was included in the ThirdParty folder in OpenFOAM 1.6, but it isn't in 1.7.0/1. Now it's assumed that it's already installed in the system. You'll need to install both the library and the headers for it. Possibly installing the package zlib-devel or zlib-dev will solve the problem.
If not, you can copy the zlib version that is in the old ThirdParty-1.6 source package - available here - to the ThirdParty-1.7.* folder, then run:or similar, because I'm not sure what was the complete folder name.

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Luvdna, I tried to follow ur help link [ failure of DSO link] I didnt understand how to make changes.


Pls suggest me. Also, I hve gcc 4.4.5 version. I tried to install gcc-g++ 4.5.2 version, download it but couldnt install it
Pls suggest me.

I guess the problem is the wmake general rule.

Please try this

cd ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.x/wmake/rules/linux64Gcc
edit general

change the stuff in the "PROJECT_LIBS = ... " over to

PROJECT_LIBS = -l$(WM_PROJECT) -liberty -ldl $(FOAM_MPI_LIBBIN)/libPstream.so

don't miss the space between -ldl and $().

Hi,

Thnx a lot. Did you follow OF bug issues
I am trying to follow to change /solver/s Make/option file

EXE_INC = \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/finiteVolume/lnInclude

EXE_LIBS = -lfiniteVolume

to

EXE_INC = \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/finiteVolume/lnInclude

EXE_LIBS = -L$(FOAM_MPI_LIBBIN) \
-lPstream \
-lfiniteVolume

HI,
Finally I could install OF-1.7.x with Thirdparty-1.7.x on my Fedora 13 X_86_64 system with gcc 4.4.5 version.
After 4 trial , sucessful(perhaps)
Though in $FOAM_RUN(following git repo instructions: ) I tried to run
Run the first example case of incompressible laminar flow in a cavity:

• cd $FOAM_RUN/tutorials/incompressible/icoFoam/cavity
• blockMesh
• icoFoam
• paraFoam

paraFoam crashed. But I hve Paraview(viewer) 3.8.0 . here is my all log file . \


Now Step II: run each appl. (solver) (spe incompressible) separately and see if runs perfectly.

P.S : Dear l_r_mcglashan --- Thnk u so much. With all ur help, I could install it. In ur bug report, as Mattis proposed to add the http://www.openfoam.com/mantisbt/view.php?id=15


Thanks for the reference. What a strange behaviour to make default.

Can you try adding -Xlinker --add-needed to the link line? So in $WM_DIR/rules/linux64Gcc/c++ change LINKLIBSO to:

LINKLIBSO = $(CC) $(c++FLAGS) -shared -Xlinker --add-needed

Can you let us know if this works? --- Do I need to add /rules/linux64Gcc/c++ ; change the LINKLIBSO though I didnt get any error. I need to check each module. paraFoam dint run(crashed) .

./foamInstallationtest went well without ERROR.


I posted here & thre couple of times, Can anyone pls delete those and keep only this one.

Here is log file

Hi Ruma,

Try the following, it should work (type in line by line):
At the last command you are asked for your root password. Possibly you need the mpfr and gmp libraries for building, depends ...

Greetings to all!

@Ruma: If you don't network access on the machine where you are installing OpenFOAM, then you can still run "./build-gcc45", because it will give you a list of the files that need to be downloaded and where you need to place them for running the script again, after you have them.


edit: OK, maybe I didn't make myself very clear. If you don't have internet access on your machine, then follow these steps:

1. Run "./build-gcc45" on your machine where you don't have internet access.
2. The script will then tell you something like this:
   Code:

   ---

   It seems that some files were not downloaded with success. Please see the file:
.......
for more instructions.

   ---

   Follow the instructions on that file, namely download the listed files and place them where it tells you to.
3. Run "./build-gcc45" on your machine again, after you've got the files where it asked you to place them.

I'm sorry for not making this clear on the blog post.

Best regards,
Bruno
