Hello,

I am new to use OpenFOAM and I have some problems to compile it.

Description:
I downloaded all the packages from the web site (General source, gcc, paraview, double and simple precision, java)
I followed all the instruction in the README file (modifications of the bashrc)
And when I try to compile the code, all seems to work until I obtain this error message:

`/home/linux2/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4/lib/linuxGcc4DPOpt/libfoamUtil.so' is up to date.

Platform:
I am working with a RedHat 9 Enterprise and my OS is CentOs 4


Version:
I downloaded the OpenFOAM v 1.4 for Linux 32 bits.


Notes:
I tried several times to compile the code with different protocol and I have still the same problem. It seems that an wmake is lacking inside the compressible folder... To unpack the source code I used tar -xzf <name_file> and do it inside $HOME/OpenFOAM.
I created $HOME/OpenFOAM/Linux to put all the binary files.

So, if you have any ideas to solve my problem I will be very grateful. (I am very new to use Linux and may be I do something wrong to compile it.)

Thanks.

Erik.

Thanks for your help. But I still have a problem:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lOpenFOAM
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [/home/linux2/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4/applications/bin/linuxGcc4DPOpt/rhopSonicFoa m] Error 1


Do I have to change something during the configuration? Because it seems strange for me that he need to go in /usr/bin/ld to find a file of OpenFOAM which is unpack in /home/linux2/OpenFOAM.

Hi, I am trying to compile OpenFOAM-1.4.1-dev, but I have the same problem, even more.

After ./Allwmake:

After typing wmake libso OpenFOAM:

, but when I track the procedure and messages I cannot see any warning or error up to ./Allwmake. I am using ubuntu8.04, 32 bit. I have also installed every thing I saw in the forum:

You have to attach the full output from your compilation attempts.

>I am really interested in knwoing what mistake I have made

Your mistake is to assume that we have either access to your history and log files or that each of us has a crystal ball on their desks to read all the information that you didn't provide.

Nadine,

I am not saying that you can read my palm by my post, however your are so right. I just thought that maybe somebody has gone through the HowToCompile wiki and obtained the same result. I am compiling every thing from the very beginning steps and will post all the output, so big, of every step of the compilation.

Nadine,
Do I have to list the compilation of all the steps, binutils, cmake, ..., or the compilation of OpenFOAM, result of ./Allwmake, is enough.

Here is my very very basic que
 

Here is my very very basic question:
What is the file containing errors, although seems stupid:
where is the place I can find the full output, errors, I get during Allwmake, in the log file there is no error reported.
P. S. I first saw beautiful linux Ubuntu 8.04 when trying to learn OpenFOAM first
P. S. I thought it is the log file containing the full information.

Which log file do you refer to
 

Which log file do you refer to?

Assuming your shell is set to bash (check with 'echo $SHELL'), the command

./Allwmake > logfile

only logs stdout, no error messages.
You can do

./Allwmake 1> logfile 2>errfile #or
./Allwmake &> logerrfile

to write the error messages into a different or into the same file, respectively.

If your shell is some sort of csh, the commands are different.

Hi Daniel,

Not sure if this was resolved for you, as you posted it quite a while ago.

This error occured for me when I had an incorrect entry for WM_COMPILER_BIN in the settings.sh file.

make sure that it references:
WM_COMPILER_BIN=$WM_COMPILER_DIR/bin

Hope this helps.
