Installation on Fedora 12 64-bit
I am trying to install OpenFOAM 1.7.1 on my Fedora 12 64-bit system. I have not been able to install it successfully. I followed the instructions on the OpenFOAM website. The installation runs but has many errors. Here is the last line in the terminal after trying to install:
Code:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lOpenFOAM Code:
Executing ./foamInstallationTest: |
Greetings Tony,
Ah, Fedora... You better try using OpenFOAM 1.7.x (link). If I'm not mistaken, there were some changes after the release of 1.7.1 that enable the building of OpenFOAM in Fedora to be a lot smoother (link to relevant bug report)... Although it was intended for Fedora 13, but you might have updated 12 so much, that it might look more like 13 right now ;) Additionally, next time you run Allwmake, use: Code:
./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1 edit: Did you install the packages mentioned on this post: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post254189 ? On that post you'll find some pearls of wisdom, but the instructions for changing the rules file is no longer needed with OpenFOAM 1.7.1 and 1.7.x. Best regards, Bruno |
Hi Bruno,
Thanks for your reply. I think I was having a problem because I had tried to install it before. I erased the files but was still having the problem. What I did was I ran the $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.1/wmake/wcleanAll script and was able to install it afterwards without a problem. Thanks, Tony |
