Hi, i m trying to compile OF 1.7.x but i have some problems.

This is the first of error on output

Please add the line to the EXE_LIBS option in the file ./Make/options in the solver directory.

$(FOAM_MPI_LIBBIN)/libPstream.so

and this option should be

EXE_LIBS = -lfiniteVolume \
$(FOAM_MPI_LIBBIN)/libPstream.so

then remake it.

Some other errors like this should be edit the options file like the above.

Because the DSO link library should be declared explicitly in Fedora 13.

Does any one have other solutions?

[nuovodna]

It works!! Thanks

It should be great to set up a script that add the line on all files interested by the issue

[lewisb2]

Where exaclty are the files that need to be changed?

[nuovodna]

I guess they are in applications/solvers directories

~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.x/applications/solvers/*/*/Make/options

Example:

~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.x/applications/solvers/compressible/sonicFoam/Make/options

[ashishnedungadi]

Is the libPstream.so the only error you get? I am trying to compile on Fedora 13 and I get many, many complaints about libCompressibleTurbulenceModel , and libIncompressibleTurbulenceModel, etc. etc.

I don't think this is so simple to find all the places where the LINK_EXE needs to be changed.

Does anyone know a better fix for this? It is a Fedora 13 issue. Anyone else running across this problem?

Thanks!

Ashish

[nuovodna]

Following this guide (made by chnrdu) i have only libPstream.so problem

http://www.idurun.com/?p=544

[l_r_mcglashan]

I found it easier to just edit the wmake/rules/linux64Gcc/general file than edit all the options files:

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

[nuovodna]

Thanks!! Great tip!!

[tawhiri]

Following on from Laurence's post, the other libraries that gave me problems when trying to compile openFOAM 1.7.0 on Fedora 13 were libcompressibleTurbulenceModel.so, libincompressibleTurbulenceModel.so, and libmeshTools.so.

The fix was to also add these to the wmake/rules/linuxGcc/general file, as per Laurence's post, using $(FOAM_LIBBIN)/libcompressibleTurbulenceModel.so, etc.

[l_r_mcglashan]

I never had problems with those libraries. Can you post the error messages that they generated up? Was it the git repository or the source packs?

[Aurelien Thinat]

Hi everybody,

I have to install OF 1.7 on a cluster running with red hat. I have a problem with the "zlib" library.

When I'm running the command "wmake libso OpenFOAM" I get :

Does anyone have any idea ? Thank you for your help.

[l_r_mcglashan]

Can you 'locate zlib'? If it's not on your system, then install zlib; either ask whoever admins that cluster or install it locally.

[Aurelien Thinat]

Thank you Laurence, I already fixed this problem. Anyway you are right, it was the problem.

[jaber_6010]

Hi
I get errors when compiling OF-1.7.0 in Fedora 13.
I have all required tools to proceed to the installation and already set the environment variables
when I run:

wmake ./applications/solvers/basic/laplacianFoam/

I get the following:

g++ -m32 -Dlinux -DWM_DP -Wall -Wno-strict-aliasing -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -Wold-style-cast -O3  -DNoRepository -ftemplate-depth-40 -I/home/jaber/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.0/src/finiteVolume/lnInclude -IlnInclude -I. -I/home/jaber/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.0/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude -I/home/jaber/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.0/src/OSspecific/POSIX/lnInclude   -fPIC Make/linuxGccDPOpt/laplacianFoam.o -L/home/jaber/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.0/lib/linuxGccDPOpt \
         -lfiniteVolume -lOpenFOAM -liberty -ldl /home/jaber/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.0/lib/linuxGccDPOpt/openmpi-1.4.1/libPstream.so   -lm -o /home/jaber/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.0/applications/bin/linuxGccDPOpt/laplacianFoam

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [/home/jaber/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.0/applications/bin/linuxGccDPOpt/laplacianFoam] Error 1

I already included the suggestion of Laurence. I alsa set the environment variables.

Any ideas?

Many thanks,
Jaber

[l_r_mcglashan]

The finiteVolume library probably hasn't been built. Go to src/finiteVolume and try wmake libso. Post the error up here.

[jaber_6010]

Thank you Laurence
I tried your idea and this is the error I get after a long compilation output which I can not include here:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltriSurface
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [/home/jaber/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.0/lib/linuxGccDPOpt/libfiniteVolume.so] Error 1

By the way, the compilation does last a long time, more than one hour I would say. Is that normal?

[l_r_mcglashan]

Yes. You can speed it up by running it on multiple processors if you have them by setting the environment variable WM_NCOMPPROCS to however many processors you have.

Your compilation is failing very early. The start is like:

'/home/userspace/lrm29/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.x/lib/linux64GccDPOpt/dummy/libPstream.so' is up to date.

Note: ignore spurious warnings about missing mpicxx.h headers
/openmpi-system/libPstream.so' is up to date.
/libOSspecific.o' is up to date.
/libOpenFOAM.so' is up to date.
/liblagrangian.so' is up to date.
/libtriSurface.so' is up to date.

Pipe Allwmake to a file and grep for the error.

[l_r_mcglashan]

For everyone's information, this Fedora Gcc issue has been fixed in the Git repository of OpenFOAM:

Hi, i m compiling OF 1.7.x on Fedora 14 and everything work fine except the genericPatchFields part.

I have this error:
