[OpenFOAM.org] Installation of OpenFOAM on Mac: STLsurfaceFormatASCII.o error?

APCoding · October 17, 2016, 22:12

Hi!

It seemed as if everything was working fine with my installation, but when I tried to run icoFoam or blockMesh, it said the command wasn't found. I saw this on the OpenFOAM wiki, but it pretty much said find the error and look online. If I selected the right error (it was the only line with "Error ", which is what the wiki wanted me to look for), it seems to have a problem with the

Code:

STLsurfaceFormatASCII.o

file. What's wrong? What did I miss? I can post the other 20 error messages if this doesn't mean anything. Thanks for all your help! Here's the full error:

Code:

make: *** [/Users/PeterE/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-4.0/platforms/darwin64ClangDPInt32Opt/src/surfMesh/surfaceFormats/stl/STLsurfaceFormatASCII.o] Error 1

I'm trying to install OpenFOAM 4.0 on macOS Sierra.

Quick questions:

What were the error lines that appeared before that?
- If in doubt which lines you should be looking for, please run the following command:
  Code:
```
gzip < log.make > log.make.gz
```
  And attached the file "log.make.gz" to your next post.
Which installation instructions are you following?
