Hello together,

I want to simulate the air flow around and through a car. As the model contains porous zones I added the porousSimpleSolver to my OpenFoam installation.
/home/user/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6/applications/solvers/incompressible/porousSimpleFoamLin
I did this solver using the SimpleFoam solver and the porous medium module from the compressible rhoPorousSimpleFoam solver and the help of a few documents I found on the web.
When I am compiling this new solver with wmake as described in the user guide, I get a huge number of errors. The strange thing is hat I get nearly the same errors when I try to compile an existing solver!
Here is what I get:

I am using OpenFoam 1.6 with gcc version 4.3.3. I am new to OpenFoam and a beginner with Linux
I would be really thankful for a few advices.

[romant]

it can be that you are missing some of the packages required to compile OpenFOAM.

those here are just some of the packages needed

binutils-dev flex git git-core build-essential python-dev libqt4-dev libreadline5-dev wget zlib1g-dev cmake

if you are not sure about those, try using the install cookbook from the forum

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

or those install scripts if u are using a debian based distribution http://hvirvel.dk/OF/ (they are actually taken from the initializer of the install cookbook

[lin123]

Thanks for your reply!
Actually I am using SUSE Linux Enterprise Server(x86_64)
how to check which package is already installed!?

[romant]

Hej,

in that case. Try using YAST. If I remember right, this is the installation tool of Suse. In that program you can search for packages and if they show up as not installed, you can install them.

If for some reason you only have command line access, http://en.opensuse.org/Software_Mana...ine_Comparison here are some tips on how to install packages commandline style with suse.
