errors in state4

Hello everyone
I am trying to install openfoam-1.6-ext to ubuntu 12.04 32 bit.

I am following the procedure given at

http://openfoam-extend.git.sourcefor...02de56;hb=HEAD
But I have problem at state4.The error is:

Code:

error: open /home/lg88/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/ThirdParty/rpmBuild/RPMS/i386/ParaView-3.12.0-linuxGcc46DPOpt.i386.rpm fail：No such file or directory

So I check the 1386 folder.There is not a file name ParaView-3.12.0-linuxGcc46DPOpt.i386.rpm there.
Can you tell me what should I do?
Thank you very much!

regards!

lg88

Hi lg88,

I tested the instructions myself on a VM with Ubuntu 12.04 i686, fully up-to-date and I was unable to trigger the same error.

Therefore, please do the following steps:

Run the command once again:

Code:

./AllMake.stage4 >& log.AllMake.stage4
Edit the resulting log file "log.AllMake.stage4" with a text editor and search-replace sensitive data, like user names and paths.
Compress the log file:

Code:

tar -czf log.AllMake.stage4.tar.gz log.AllMake.stage4
Attach the file "log.AllMake.stage4.tar.gz" to your next post.

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno
I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 (64bit).But I have met the same problem.I have attached the "log.AllMake.stage4" here.But it contains some chinese.And the main error I think is

Code:

error: open /home/lg88/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/ThirdParty/rpmBuild/RPMS/x86_64/ParaView-3.12.0-linuxGcc46DPOpt.i386.rpm fail：No such file or directory

There is not a file name ParaView-3.12.0-linuxGcc46DPOpt.i386.rpm in the folder: ThirdParty/rpmBuild/RPMS/x86_64

I have deleted something,because it is too large.

regards!

lg88

Hi lg88,

Looks like this is the reason:

Code:

Could NOT find OpenGL (missing: OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY)

Did you install the necessary packages? Namely run this long 3 line command:

Code:

sudo apt-get install git flex bison rpm g++ zlib1g-dev binutils-dev \

openmpi-bin libopenmpi-dev libxext-dev libxt-dev libxrender-dev \

libstdc++5 libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev

If that doesn't work, try it in a single line like this:

Code:

sudo apt-get install git flex bison rpm g++ zlib1g-dev binutils-dev openmpi-bin libopenmpi-dev libxext-dev libxt-dev libxrender-dev libstdc++5 libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno
I have done what you tell me.Now the problem of state4 have been solved.But a new problem came up which atg have mentioned here before:

Code:

the final ./Allwmake script hangs up reliably on the incompressible yPlusRAS:

I have attached the log./Allmake here.
regards!

lg88

Hi lg88,

Try this:

Code:

unset WM_NCOMPPROCS

./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1

This way it'll build in single core and use the command I usually use for building... which basically does the same as the official instruction on 1.6-ext.

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno
With your command:

Code:

unset WM_NCOMPPROCS

./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1

I installed OF successfully.

Thank you very much!

sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev

So if one uses the "all in one" command:

# You can also install everything at once:
sudo apt-get install git flex bison rpm g++ zlib1g-dev binutils-dev \
openmpi-bin libopenmpi-dev libxext-dev libxt-dev libxrender-dev \
libstdc++5 libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev

one can miss the fact that one package did not install properly.

I downloaded it and installed it manually: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/zlib1g-dev

Now stage 4 builds again.

Of course I could be totally wrong; if I knew anything I would not be asking for help here.

Thanks for your reply.

To answer your question, I tried it twice on two different machines, one with four core Xeon E3-1280 and 16Gb RAM, and one Core 2 Duo with 4Gb Ram, set to varying numbers of compiler processors. Both were failing at the same place. Now it is working on the Core2Duo machine in 32 bit again. I am debating whether to mess with the working 10.04 installation on the faster machine, as I have cufflink working over there now and it just doesn't seem worth the trouble.

Hi Karl,
I am also installing OF 1.6-ext on ubuntu 12.04(32 bit) and have the same problem as you- the ./Allwmake script stops running after compiling yPlusRas.
the zlib1g-dev library seems to be installed fine.
Do you know what could be the problem?
Thanks!

Sorry for the spam guys,I am new to the forum and didn't check this page of the thread before posting, and I tried Bruno's method of compilation and it seems to have worked, even though the log file doesn't show "Done" or any such similar message at the end.
Thanks!

Greetings Atheendra and welcome to the forum!

And indeed, the script doesn't indicate any pretty messages. Once we get use to it, it becomes second nature to simply run Allwmake it a second time to confirm if it's all done or not :)

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi, I am trying to install OpenFoam-1.6-ext on Ubuntu-12.10-32bits, and I am having the same problem while running Allmake.stage4:

error: open /home/lasim/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/ThirdParty/rpmBuild/RPMS/i386/ParaView-3.12.0-linuxGcc46DPOpt.i386.rpm fail：No such file or directory

All the necessary package mentioned in the build instructions for Ubuntu 12.04-32bits was installed. I don't know if it is necessary to install some other stuff for Ubuntu 12.10, have anyone tried?

Hi atg,

I know you posted me this a while ago; but I have only just got round to downloading the link.

Is there anyway to install OF not on a Virtual Machine (that may sound like a stupid question - I am still downloading it (have realllll slow internet).. can I just mount it and run?)

hi guys
im new here.im trying to instal openFOAM 1.6 on ubuntu 12.04 i did according the user guide and extract the .gtgz files but when i check the installation {

what's wrong :confused:
please help me:(

Greetings Behzad and welcome to the forum!

I think you're confusing these two:

There is the official OpenFOAM 1.6 and 1.6.x versions: http://www.openfoam.org/archive/1.6/download/
Then there is Extend's variant OpenFOAM 1.6-ext: http://sourceforge.net/p/openfoam-ex...i/master/tree/
- For more information: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Main_OFextendFeatures

And since you are posting on this thread, which addresses OpenFOAM 1.6-ext, then I suggest you check these instructions: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...1.6-ext/Ubuntu

OpenFoam 1.6-ext installation error on Ubuntu 16.04

Hi,
I am installing OpenFoam 1.6-ext on my laptop working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I followed the procedure as outlined in:

https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...u#Ubuntu_14.04

However, though it runs until step 15 of the above document, when I test it to run 'icoFoam -help' as per step 16, it gives 'icoFoam: command not found. I have attached the compressed file her.
I don't think this is because of the Ubuntu versions being different. Kindly advise how do I address this issue. Thanks.

Man

Quick answer: Use the same hack that is given for 16.04 here: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...u#Ubuntu_16.04 - namely this command:

Code:

find src applications -name "*.L" -type f | xargs sed -i -e 's=\(YY\_FLEX\_SUBMINOR\_VERSION\)=YY_FLEX_MINOR_VERSION < 6 \&\& \1='

Then run the build command again.

Thank you.
I had reinstalled Ubuntu 14.04 and then Openfoam 1.6 extend and it had started working.
