Hi all,

I try to use the log(scalar) operation in pre processing utility but I have the following error message:

~/OpenFOAM/ag74290-1.6.x/applications/utilities/preProcessing/vit_cond_init_4t_rand$ wmake

make: *** [Make/linux64GccDPOpt/vit_cond_init_4t_rand.o] Error 1

I can use it in simple C++ code but not in OpenFOAM 1.6.x
Any advice?

Hello Pascal,

you may try it this way:

scalar logTest = Foam::log(scalar(42));
