Dear Foamers,
i tried to install Of1.7.0 on Ubuntu 10.04.

after typing ./Allwmake and after more than 3 hours this message is appeared:
but by typing foamInstallationTest no error is detected. what is the problem?

make.log file is attached.

Thanks in advance

Greetings Maysam,

The problem is related to a missing X11 header file, which leads to only foamToTecplot360 not being built.

A list of packages for Ubuntu 10.04 and OpenFOAM 1.7 is available here: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post268828
If you use the command line given at that post, and then run Allwmake again, you should no longer have any problems :)

Now, I will answer to your other thread shortly...

Best regards,
Bruno

foamToTecplot360 problem is solved by your guides.
Thank you very much

Dear Bruno,
I am new to linux and I am trying to install OpenFOAM1.7.1 on RedHat 5.5.

With the foamInstallationTest no error is detected, but when I execute ./Allwmake , I have this error:

make: Target `application' not remade because of errors.
I attached also the make.log file.

Can you help me, please?

Thanks in advance

Greetings Sale,

Mmm, this is a bit odd... OK, there are three possibilities that I can image about this problem:

1. Links were unpacked from the OpenFOAM 1.7.1 source package. Try running this:
   Code:

   ---

   cd $WM_PROJECT_DIR
rm -rf src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude

   ---

   And run Allwmake again.
2. Which gcc version are you using?
   Code:

   ---

   gcc --version

   ---

   Is it at least 4.3.1?
3. If neither of the above are the problem, then one or more files weren't properly unpacked. It happens once in a while, although it shouldn't happen at all.
   If this is the case, try this:
   Code:

   ---

   cd $WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR
rm -rf OpenFOAM-1.7.1/src/OpenFOAM
tar -xzf OpenFOAM-1.7.1.gtgz OpenFOAM-1.7.1/src/OpenFOAM

   ---

   If I'm not mistaken, these commands will remove the current OpenFOAM library and unpack the original one from the downloaded package. You can run Allwmake once again.

By the way, have you tried CentFOAM? http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...-released.html

Dear Bruno,

thank you for your reply, but no of your suggestions worked. However I tried CentFOAM and it works!:)

Now I am trying to instal ParaView, so I downloaded qt-x11-opensource-src-4.3.5.tar.bz2 , I unpacked it with:

tar -xjf qt-x11-opensource-src-4.3.5.tar.bz2

then I run:
./makeQt

but the answer is:
bash: ./makeQt: No such file or directory

What's the problem?


Thanks in advance!

Hi Sale,

If CentFOAM is working, then you should also be able to install ParaView that comes with it as well!

Bruno

Hi Sale,

have a look at

http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...directory.html

Maybe you need the Path to Qt4.3.5 by

PATH=...whereeverItIs/Qt4.3.5/bin:$Paraview3.3

(this was somewhere on the forum as well but I cannot remember where, sorry)

For me it worked perfectly...

Hope this helps

Kathrin

Bruno,
if I follow OpenFoam example:

mkdir -p $FOAM_RUN
cp -r $FOAM_TUTORIALS $FOAM_RUN
cd $FOAM_RUN/tutorials/incompressible/icoFoam/cavity
blockMesh
icoFoam

everything looks ok, but then, with paraFoam, the result is:
/home/openfoam/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.0/bin/paraFoam: line 132: paraview: command not found

I supposed Paraview is not installed. What do I have to do?


kathrin_kissling,
what do you mean with:

Maybe you need the Path to Qt4.3.5 by
PATH=...whereeverItIs/Qt4.3.5/bin:$Paraview3.3 ?

Should I add this path to the bashrc file that is in /etc?

Thank you both for the quick answer.

Sale

Anyway

qmake --version

gives me

bash: qmake: command not found

Hi Sale,

How exactly did you install CentFOAM? If you used the install script:
Then it should have been as easy as running:Best regards,
