2.1 installation on Mountain Lion help please!
Hi all,
I have been in the background on this forum a lot. Mostly reviewing all the problems people have had installing openFOAM. Well I finally got the courage to have a go and install it myself. I used the wiki install guide found here http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ho...enFOAM_v21_Mac The installation process went pretty smoothly, or so I thought... When I go to run the cavity tutorial I get an error when running the paraFoam command. Code:
Petes-MacBook-Pro-2:cavity Pete$ paraFoam Also, I tried to build ParaView from the Thirdparty2.1.1 folder and got this error: Code:
*** Error: cannot find qmake either at $QMAKE_PATH or in current $PATH Code:
Petes-MacBook-Pro-2:ThirdParty-2.1.1 Pete$ ./makeQt Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Pete |
Greetings Peter and welcome to the forum!
Did you see the chapter 3 on the instructions? Well, if they seemed to confusing, please check if the current description is better now: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ho...using_ParaView In essence, if you follow the description on that chapter, you don't need to build ParaView from source code! ;) Best regards, Bruno PS: thanks for posting in the right forum. Next time you can use the triangle sign on the lower left corner of a post, to report a misplaced post. Or contact one of the forum admins/moderators, as listed in the main forum, at the end of the list of forums! ;) |
Thanks for the quick reply!
That got it working. I had trouble understanding if I needed a .alias file but I just put the aliases in my bashrc and that got it working. I was able to run the blockMesh and icoFoam before but now I'm having another problem. When trying to run blockMesh I get: Code:
dyld: Library not loaded: /Users/Pete/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.1.1/platforms/darwinIntel64Gcc46/openmpi-1.5.3/lib/libmpi.1.dylib but it was working before??? Did I change something/recompile something that could make this happen? Thanks for all your help! Pete |
Hi Pete,
How did you do this step: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ho...penMPI-version - when you were following the instructions for the first time? Best regards, Bruno |
Hi Bruno,
I did that step incorrectly. I performed it again and everything seems to be working properly now! This is my first, real, in depth try at the terminal prompt so it's been a little shaky. Thanks for all the help! I'm sure you will be seeing me in the meshing section shortly! Thanks again, Pete |
