Dear all,

I'm running into some problem installing OF in the operating system mentioned in the title. I followed the description at http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ho...enFOAM_v21_Mac, and until now it looked like the installation process will work. But... NO.

When I call
Code:
sudo ./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1
the log-file reads:

./Allwmake: line 4: wmakeCheckPwd: command not found
Error: Current directory is not $WM_PROJECT_DIR
The environment variables are inconsistent with the installation.
Check the OpenFOAM entries in your dot-files and source them.

I started completely from scratch... Installing macports, Xcode and all the other things. Don't know if there have to be some adjustments done to openmpi or not.

which $WM_CC brings /opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-4.6
which $WM_CXX brings /opt/local/bin/g++-mp-4.6

I simply have no clue what to do with the error message and hope you can help.

Thanks in advance,
Thomas

Greetings Thomas and welcome to the forum!

Well, you're not following the instructions to the letter
In section 2.6 it does not tell you to run Allwmake with sudo! That's why it's not working.

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,

thanks for the welcome and the fast reply. Unfortunately it's the same error message when I try without sudo.

Cheers Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Try running:
Code:
. $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc
./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1
If it also doesn't work, check if things are where they should be. In other words, the following commands:
Code:
ls -l $HOME/OpenFOAM
ls -l $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1
Should show on the first one, the folders "OpenFOAM-2.1.1" and "ThirdParty-2.1.1"; on the second one, it should show a folder structure similar to the one shown here: https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.x

Best regards,
Bruno

Looks to me like everything is there. So far I have all the folders in the virtual drive and have a link to that one as shown in the response of the first ls command. Did I miss something in the installation manual but I haven't seen anything about moving things out of the virtual drive and into my home directory. Do I have to copy the folders from the virtual drive in my home directory and then it runs? I thought the installation will be done by running Allwmake.

Best regards,
Thomas

Doesn't work since things aren't where they are supposed to be.
Code:
ls -l $HOME/OpenFOAM
lrwxr-xr-x  1 Tom  staff  24 Dec  2 17:02 /Users/Tom/OpenFOAM -> /Volumes/OpenFOAM-v2.1.1
ls -l $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1
ls: /Users/Tom/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1: No such file or directory
So far I have all the folders in the virtual drive and have a link to that one as shown in the response of the first ls command. I guess I missed something in the installation manual but I haven't seen anything about moving things out of the virtual drive and into my home directory. Does this mean that I simply copy the folders from the virtual drive in my home directory and then it runs?

Best regards,

Don't copy. Your home folder is probably not on a case-sensitive drive. That's why you do a symbolic link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link). Because it looks like the folder is in your home when in fact it is on a case-sensitive filesystem.

Anyway: about your problem: what does

ls $HOME/OpenFOAM/

say (with the slash)? And what is the output of

ls /Volumes/OpenFOAM-v2.1.1

(my guess is that the symbolic link points to Nirvana OR that the OF-folder on the drive is named differently)

You are absolutely right... I just re-phrased my response but you picked it up faster then I could press save!

The stuff is all there. I restarted the computer and forgot in the first place to mount the virtual drive the symbolic link is pointing to. Hence, Nirvana was the right address I suppose.

Cheers Thomas

Hi, I just went a bit further in the installation manual and edited etc/bashrc with respect to openmpi. Since I installed it from macports I edited the line export WM_MPLIB=OPENMPI to export WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI.

Thought give it a try again and ran
Code:
. $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc
-bash: mpicc: command not found
-bash: mpicc: command not found
I did overcome the problem with export PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/lib/openmpi/bin/

And I'm getting another error:
Code:
. $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc
Cannot open configuration file /Users/Tom/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.1.1/platforms/darwinIntel64Gcc46/openmpi-1.5.3/share/openmpi/mpicc-wrapper-data.txt
Nothing to argue with that... there is no directory platforms in ThirdParty-2.1.1! So I'm missing the whole lot of platforms/darwinIntel64Gcc46/openmpi-1.5.3/share/openmpi/mpicc-wrapper-data.txt.

Did somebody else had the same problem and what did you do to solve the issue?

Cheers Thomas

Hi Thomas and Bernhard,

I can only guess on this one... but a quick search lead to the following solutions:
  1. http://www.underworldproject.org/doc...IDownload.html - looks like you need to define where the library is installed:
    Code:
    export MPI_DIR=/opt/local/lib/openmpi
  2. I didn't move this thread to the main one before, because things are getting a bit long on it... but on http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post390020 post #153 you can find this:

  3. Yet another possibility is that you needed to start a new terminal after installing Open-MPI, so that the environment would be up-to-date and the related variables would be up and running by default...
Best regards,
Bruno

And to be sure check whether OPAL_PREFIX is being set and unset it (some configurations set it and this makes openmpi look for files in a different location)

(This might belong in another thread; but I experience it only on Mac OS X)

I have OF 2.1.x on Mountain Lion and it works fine. When I change/add something in src/lagrangian/intermediate/submodels/Kinematic/InjectionModels/ConeNozzleInjection/ConeNozzleInjection.C, and do a

wmake libso .

in src/lagrangian, it says everything is already up to date. I can force it by

wclean all; wmake libso .

in the same folder, and the library is compiled afresh. But when I run sprayFoam on a case with ConeNozzleInjection the changes I made to the code are not reflected. I can, for instance, see debug output that I added in ConeNozzleInjection, even after I remove it from the code and recompile lagrangian.

I give up after repeated attempts and just do an ./Allwmake in OpenFOAM-2.1.x and it works (i.e. updates are reflected) -- not immediately, but after a few hours. Is something being cached somewhere?

What is the correct way to update the lagrangian library without having to compile OpenFOAM afresh?

Regards,
Sushant

P.S. Same behaviour on mlion + 2.1.x and lion + 2.0.x

Quick reply:
  1. Look at "ConeNozzleInjection.H": https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM...zleInjection.H
  2. Notice the "NoRepository" near the end? Don't know what it is?
  3. Googling "NoRepository"... very first hit I got: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...epository.html
  4. In essence: "ConeNozzleInjection" is a template class. Templates by default are not actual classes, they merely outline a basis for classes. This means that "ConeNozzleInjection.C" is not actually inside the library where the code is, it's only present inside the classes that actually are created from them.
  5. Solution: Look for which libraries and applications do have classes that implement "ConeNozzleInjection". Those are the ones that do need to be rebuilt!
