Hello,

I was having a similar problem in my Openfoam. (Thread: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...ate-swirl.html) but I think I managed to figure out how to fix one or two of the problems. If you look in the file swakConfiguration you will notice the first and second lines:

try to copy and paste into a terminal just:

I got a notice saying that python-config is not installed and to install it.

It fixed the error messages about Line 1 and Line 2 in the swakConfiguration.

Also if you want to do the thing at the end just enter:

Dear Michu,

The problem is solved:).

Thanks a lot.

Hello Arjang,

Glad that helped. I was just curious how you fixed the error in line 13 or the error with swak4Foam. Do you mind sharing how you fixed the problem?

Thank you,
~Michu

Hello all!

Anyone have an idea how to get rid of the line 13 error?

I was initially having this problem: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...n-problem.html

And after taking a break and reinstalling, I can't seem to get past this error:
I also tried the suggestions in this thread: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...ate-swirl.html

Hello Sandra,

So technically when installing swak4foam the swakconfiguration file can be deleted. I think your problem is something else. I got this error when I didn't do another step (if memory serves). I think based on the code you provided your bison version may be out of date? Actually- what version of openfoam are you using? (and just to confirm your using swak 0.3.2 right?)

Hi Michu,

Yes, Bruno did suggest that in one of the links that I cite but instead it gave an error along the lines that "swakConfiguration couldn't be found"

I installed it by going through all the links here: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...tion/swak4Foam
which also involved a manual install of bison and m4.
Also, I had installed it successfully a couple of weeks ago but had to reinstall due to unavoidable circumstances so I'm quite familiar with the process now, I think.

And I'm using OpenFOAM-2.3.0 and swak 0.3.2.

Although I saw the last post in a thread where you seem to still be stuck with the line 13 error; did you solve it?

Hello Sandra,

I talked to a python programming friend a while back when I was still trying to get that to work. He told me that line is actually incomplete and needs like either another number or reference to somewhere else or reference to another config file or a ; at the end. (I don't remember exactly what.) Sorry I can't be more helpful with line 13.

As a side note I am still working with swak4foam and at least for me it is working without the swakconfiguration file. And for me when I did install and was getting errors with the swakconfiguration I dont remember the

"./Allwmake: line 61: wmake: command not found"

I am currently running a simulation on my computer but when it is done Ill check out one other thing and see if that helps.

Cheers,

Thanks for your input Michu!

Does anyone know how I can avoid the "swakConfiguration not found" related error when I delete the swakConfiguration files?

Do I have to delete all four (.automatic, .centos6, .debian and .examples)? If you've taken this route of ignoring Python in swak4foam, care to share at which step you deleted this files to avoid the error that insists I need the swakConfiguration file?

Best,
Sandra

It turns out that I wasn't installing in the right folder.
