OpenFOAM-1.6-ext on Ubuntu 12.04 install errors
 

Hi, I've been trying to install the latest git version of OpenFOAM-1.6-ext on a clean Ubuntu 12.04 distro, but I'm having some problems.

I was able to install everything in the ThirdParty (via rpm) and didn't run into any errors, but I get a bunch of errors (internal compiler errors) that I don't understand when doing ./Allwmake. Some of these errors are:

I'm using gcc-4.6, g++-4.6, cpp-4.6. I've also tried to install this with 4.5 and 4.4 compiler versions without any success.


Also, I haven't installed a new openfoam version in a while and I'm not too sure what to do with the etc/prefs.sh file. After renaming prefs.sh-EXAMPLE to prefs.sh and then sourcing etc/bashrc, I get a print out of some environment variables, some of which seem to be set and some of which aren't:

I'm not sure if this could be causing any problems or not.

Any tips would be much appreciated!

Greetings Ben,

Well, you maybe missed the following error message on the first output box you've posted:
Like the message (in bold) states, something veeery wrong is going on in your machine. Last time I saw this, I had one of the 4 memory sticks completely out-of-service :( Now I have my machine running with just 3 sticks...

I suggest two things:

1. Install stressapptest and test your system's memory+CPU interoperability:
   Code:

   ---

   sudo apt-get install stressapptest
stressapptest --cc_test -W

   ---

   You can also use the "-M" option for defining the number of MB of RAM to test with. For example, for 3000 MB:
   
   Code:

   ---

   stressapptest --cc_test -W -M 3000

   ---

2. Boot a live CD/DVD with an older version of any Linux distribution and do the same test with stressapptest.

If both of these give you a report of a problem with your hardware, then it's very likely a bad memory module.

But it's also possible that's a problem with the hard-drive or that your Ubuntu installation is missing a beat somehow, either because of a bad install or because it's not fully compatible with your machine.

And it could also be because the CPU or memory is running too hot!

Good luck!

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to install OpenFOAM-1.6-ext on my computer with distribution Ubuntu 12.04 (32 bits) but I couldn't solve a problem in stage 3. I'm following these instructions :

http://openfoam-extend.git.sourcefor...3472fd1ef579fa

Here is the error I get (at the end of the code):

Thank you in advance for any help

Hi,
do you follow http://openfoam-extend.git.sourcefor...cb6bbd;hb=HEAD

Indeed, it seemed there was no difference between 64 and 32 bits in this installation process.

This was solved with this new installation process :

errors in install openfoam 1.6 ext to ubuntu 12.04 32 bit
 

Hi everyone,

I am trying to install openfoam-1.6-ext to ubuntu 12.04 32 bit (upgraded from 11.10).

I am following the procedure given at

http://openfoam-extend.git.sourcefor...02de56;hb=HEAD

at line 86 I got the error

------------------------
bash: /opt/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/bin/foamEtcFile: No such file or directory
bash: /opt/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/bin/foamCleanPath: No such file or directory
bash: /opt/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/bin/foamCleanPath: No such file or directory

bash: /opt/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/bin/foamCleanPath: No such file or directory
------------------------

I thought that might not be so important and continued
and at line 91, I got

------------------------
bash: cd: /opt/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/ThirdParty: No such file or directory
------------------------

before continuing further I would like to ask what to do?

I have checked the /opt/ folder but nothing exists there.
I could not copy the "OpenFOAM-1.6-ext" folder directly from
/home/spam3c/OpenFOAM/
to
/opt/

I am a new user in linux and openfoam.
Sorry for the dummy questions that i may ask :)

Thanks for the comments and help

The instructions provided assume that your installation directory is located under ~/OpenFOAM.

You are obviously installing 1.6-ext under /opt, so you have to expect some adjustments.

Please check the "user editable" section of your file etc/bashrc. The variable 'foamInstall' is the one you need to adjust.

This necessary adjustment, and others, are profusely documented on this Forum and on various wikis all over the Web. Next time, just supply your error messages to Google for some magic...

Martin

Thanks for the reply and google advice
Surely, I use a lot and it makes me lost sometimes.


After following the previous lines in the given procedure

The openfoam files are stored in this folder

/home/spam3c/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext

and the /home/spam3c/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/etc/bashrc
file has the following part which I guess it tries to install to my home directory

but not

to /opt/openfoam...

where my previous installation of openfoam-2.1.0 is there.


################################################## #############################
# USER EDITABLE PART

# foamInstall=/usr/local/$WM_PROJECT
# foamInstall=/opt/$WM_PROJECT
# foamInstall=/usr/lib
#
# END OF (NORMAL) USER EDITABLE PART
################################################## ##############################

Still I get the same error, I am confused.
Thanks

Basically, it looks like you are still sourcing your OF 2.1.0 environment prior to initializing your installation of 1.6-ext.

Since both installations are sharing some common basic environment variables, your 1.6-ext initialization file is looking for some files under your 2.1.0 installation, hence the error messages.

Make sure you are not activating OF from your $HOME configuration files, like from your ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc. This is a bad idea when you need to switch between various OF versions.

Official build instructions not working for new 12.04 install
 

I am not sure why, but the script from Sourceforge does not result in a working build of 1.6-ext on a fresh 12.04 Ubuntu install. Third Party script #4 gives errors, and the final ./Allwmake appears to go very well until yPlusRAS (see below). I would appreciate a hint as I have now burned up at least a week of evenings and a weekend trying to get this working. I am hampered by not being able to understand the code enough to figure out the specific problem.

I reinstalled Ubuntu now and it will not work on either the 3.2.0.23, 3.2.0.26 or 3.2.0.27 kernels. So I suppose it has nothing to do with the kernel. I kept my old home folder but removed the OpenFOAM directory entirely and re-cloned it etc. per the instructions.

My environment variables seem OK:

I looked through the third party logs and it seems that #4 is where the trouble begins. It completes, but the final ./Allwmake script hangs up reliably on the incompressible yPlusRAS:

The terminal cursor just keeps blinking indefinitely (>12 hours) at this point and there is no processor or network activity. This is an four core machine building on eight threads. I actually had 1.6-ext working on it not long ago, but a kernel update appeared to kill it.

I think the problem is in the fourth ThirdParty build script, which gives me this sort of thing for several pages (see below), even though it completes the script. Is this a problem building Qt? Any input appreciated.

Thanks in Advance; I hope I have included enough information to answer the question.

Thanks for the comment, Martin
After that, I have used aliases for the two installations and "allwmake" worked fine except the following error.
I got this error when I ran the foamInstallationTest.
------------------
WARNING: gcc version does not match gcc supplied with this release of OpenFOAM
Supplied version: 4.3.3

------------------

Somewhere, I have read that this is not an important error and will not affect my openfoam's working. Still, I would like to be sure, and that is why I ask.
I have also attached my make.log file.
Thanks a lot for your kind help.

Hi,

I am following the same instructions: http://openfoam-extend.git.sourcefor...cb6bbd;hb=HEAD

...and I get the same problem as atg (it hangs up on the incompressible yplusRAS)

atg, I was wondering if you have solved your issue?

...also not all of the initial downloads can be found, (lines 10-20) -> I wondered if this was a major issue?

I have had OF-2.1.1 and OF-1.7 on this machine already. I am a relative newcomer to linux and so if there was something I was supposed to do in between installations you can just about guarantee I won't have done it! (except for sudo apt-get remove).

Or anyone, I was wondering if there is something I am supposed to do prior to this installation process?

Thank you for any help you can give me!

Jack

Sorry Jack,

I never did resolve that issue. It's too bad, because it actually worked for me before one of the latest Ubuntu updates seemed to screw it up. One of the first instructions is to sudo apt-get update your Ubuntu installation, so it leaves the OF package vulnerable to any changes Ubuntu might implement which create problems for the installer instructions.

Fortunately there are a bunch of .iso images out there that will get you up and running in no time. I used one from the OF workshop 7 with various versions installed. It is old 10.04 Ubuntu but no matter. You can run it from the USB or install it. I think this should work:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/open...x.iso/download

Now if I can only get myself to an actual workshop somehow...

You can easily forget about 'foamInstallationTest'.

Martin

@yPlusRAS:
On my up-to-date Ubuntu 12.04 32-bits machine, with merely 1GB of RAM, this application compiles under 7s.

Out of curiosity, how much memory do you have on your system?

What is the value of this environment variable $WM_NCOMPPROCS ?

As for the rest of your logs, those are normal compilation output messages, not error messages.

For your information, AllMake.stage4 is for compiling QT and Paraview. This has nothing to do with yPlusRAS.

Martin

Dear Elvis

Hi,

did you try to change the permission via chmod (hope you have got the rights to do so!?) user: 7=excute&read&write group: 5=excute&read other: 1=excute
sudo chmod -R 751 /home/aminiyasser/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/bin

I am not certain, but I think the problem I was having may have been due to the fact that this command (from the instructions) no longer appears to work:

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.

Thanks for this!

Hi

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:
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!

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:

1. Run the command once again:
   
   Code:

   ---

   ./AllMake.stage4 >& log.AllMake.stage4

   ---

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

   ---

   tar -czf log.AllMake.stage4.tar.gz log.AllMake.stage4

   ---

4. 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 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:
Did you install the necessary packages? Namely run this long 3 line command:
If that doesn't work, try it in a single line like this:
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:
I have attached the log./Allmake here.
regards!

lg88

Hi lg88,

Try this:
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:
I installed OF successfully.

Thank you very much!

lg88

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!

Good thing you wrote back, otherwise I was probably going to recycle the same answer ;)

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 { }
i got some errors
and when i try to run the openfoams first example it does not work
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

Bruno

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:
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.
