Dear Foamers,

I've been searching the forum for days, but I cant seem to find a thread with the answer to my problem.

I am trying to compile the latest OpenFOAM 1.7.x (git repository) using the Intel compiler and MVAPICH2.

I have modified my bashrc to read:

: ${WM_COMPILER:=Icc}; export WM_COMPILER

: ${WM_MPLIB:=MPI-MVAPICH2}; export WM_MPLIB

Also, I have added this to my settings.sh:

MPI-MVAPICH2)
export MPI_HOME=/sw/comm/mvapich2/1.5.0-intel
export MPI_ARCH_PATH=$MPI_HOME
_foamAddPath $MPI_ARCH_PATH/bin
_foamAddLib     $MPI_ARCH_PATH/lib
export FOAM_MPI_LIBBIN=$FOAM_LIBBIN/mvapich2
;;

Furthermore, I crated a file in wmake/rules/linux64Icc named mplibMPI-MVAPICH2 that contains:

PFLAGS     = -DMPICH_SKIP_MPICXX
PINC       = -I$(MPI_ARCH_PATH)/include
PLIBS      = -L$(MPI_ARCH_PATH)/lib -lmpich -lrt

I am not sure if the contents of this file is correct, however it seems to work.

Now, I have used intel.compiler (icc and ifort) version 12.0.0 and gcc 4.5.2.

I get many warnings during compilation, all of them similar to this one:

/home/kris/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.x/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/pTraits.H(71): warning #597: "Foam::pTraits<PrimitiveType>::operator Foam::symmTensor() const [with PrimitiveType=Foam::symmTensor]" will not be called for implicit or explicit conversions
          operator PrimitiveType() const
          ^
          detected during:
            instantiation of class "Foam::pTraits<PrimitiveType> [with PrimitiveType=Foam::symmTensor]" at line 82 of "/home/kris/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.x/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/dimensionedType.H"
            instantiation of class "Foam::dimensioned<Type> [with Type=Foam::symmTensor]" at line 182 of "/home/kris/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.x/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/transform.H"

Upon completion I notice that barely half the solvers have managed to compile.

Note that I have also compiled using GCC and MVAPICH2 and this worked perfectly. Thus, the problem must lie with the Intel compiler. Am I using the wrong version? Or is there something else I have missed?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
