I have been busy with installing swak4foam all night. Finally, under the guidence of the master, I was successful. The procedure is following:
1、hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/openfoam-extend/swak4Foam openfoam-extend-
swak4Foam
2、./maintainanceScripts/compileRequirements.sh
3、Downloading the patch file, and copy it to the installing catalog.
4、patch -p1 < swakFixFor20x.patch
5、ln -s swakConfiguration.automatic swakConfiguration
6、./Allwclean

Hello!

I am trying to install swak4foam (0.3.2) on openfoam 2.4.0 and I am getting the following error:

Greetings HKVadmin and welcome to the forum!

That is a very peculiar error message. I tested it just now with Ubuntu 12.04 which uses GCC 4.6.3 and I didn't have that problem.

To diagnose the origin of the problem, I need the following information:

1. Try running the following commands inside the "swak4Foam" folder:
   

   wclean all
   ./Allwmake

2. Does it give you the same error message or is it now building without problems? If it still gives the same message, then continue the following steps...
3. What do the following commands give you?
   

   gcc --version
   g++ --version

4. Please zip and attach the file "Libraries/swak4FoamParsers/entryToExpression/entryToExpression.dep". What I'm looking for is the entry "typeInfo.H" in the file and to compare with the one I get on my installation. Because I suspect that due to some weird reason, your build could be picking up another file with the same name.
5. How are you keep versions of OpenFOAM apart from each other?
   • In particular, do you use the same terminal window to work with more than one version of OpenFOAM?

I hope I'm not forgetting anything.


Best regards,
Bruno

Thank you Bruno!

I did the wclean all and then ./Allwmake but unfortunatly got the same error message.

If I attached the file correctly there should be an entrytoexpression.tar.gz file attached to this post. Is that okay or do you need a .zip?

That is a good question. One that I don't really have an answer for. I have asked my collegue who works with the software (I am just tasked with installing software on our cluster). He says that when he starts a job he targets the version (we have 2.0.x and 2.4.0 installed) that he needs?

In /usr/local/OpenFOAM we have multiple folders:
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct 17 2011 engrid-1.2.0
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Oct 17 2011 gmsh-2.4.2
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Oct 17 2011 netgen-4.9.14-svn
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Dec 10 12:25 OpenFOAM-2.0.x
drwxrwxr-x 11 root root 4096 Dec 10 12:26 OpenFOAM-2.4.0
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Oct 17 2011 paraview-3.10.0
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Oct 17 2011 ThirdParty-2.0.x
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Oct 1 12:31 ThirdParty-2.4.0

Maybe also important in this case: Our OpenFOAM-2.4.0 installation is not working exactly as it should be. Parallel processing isn't working (but single core is). We are still trying to figure that out as well. Could that perhaps be the reason wak4foam isn't building?

Thank you very much for your help so far!

With kind regards,
Marc


EDIT:

Turns out that our gcc version was not new enough. With gcc version 4.2.8 swak4foam builds as it should!

[wyldckat]

Hi Marc,

The dependency file looks OK.

I'm guessing you're using Redhat 5.x, given that the default is GCC 4.1.2. Have a look at these instructions for ideas regarding the issue with MPI (for running in parallel): http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...EL#CentOS_5.11

Originally Posted by HKVadmin

As for the GCC version, the minimum is GCC 4.5 for building OpenFOAM 2.4.0: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...tion_.28GCC.29 - so I guess you're referring to GCC 4.8.2 and not 4.2.8?

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,

You guessed correctly! I meant 4.8.2

As for running in parralel. This seemed to be a strange issue as well. We figured out that OpenFOAM uses mpicc to get some information about OpenMPI? Turns out that on our environment mpicc was not recognized while OpenMPI and mpi etc. were succesfully installed. We then edited the file /usr/local/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.4.0/etc/config.sh and around line 369 added:

export PATH=/usr/local/openmpi-1.8.5/bin:$PATH

That worked. But then log.interFoam stated that a dummy library in Pstream could not be used in parallel. A quick search showed (by earlier responses by you) that this is solved by compiling Pstream again. So we did (after exporting openmpi to our PATH as Pstream also uses mpicc for something) that by running Allwmake in the Pstream directory and after that everything seemed to work.

My collegeau is going to test this week and hopefully he comes to the same conclusion as mine and that is that everything is working properly.

With kind regards,
Marc

Hi Bruno,

I still have an issue. Our users are logging in on our cluster with their own username. But swak4foam doens't seem to work for them. This is because it has been built by root as stated on this page: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Contrib/swak4Foam

It says "Note: building swak4Foam installs it into FOAM_USER_LIBBIN for the current user. So if it built as root (or another administrative account) it is not usable from another account (or in other words: every user must compile swak4Foam for himself separately. There are ways to install it for all users. They are documented but you must find the way there yourself as a test to make sure you know what you're doing as doing this wrong may introduce very peculiar problems)"

Could you point me in the right direction to make it so that every user can use swak4foam?

Thanks in advance!
Marc

EDIT: Nevermind, I should RTFM

For people who got this error

Parser library did not compile OK. No sense continuing as everything else depends on it

See if your bison version is 3.x.x , if so try to uninstall bison and install a 2.x.x version and re-compile.

For me that solved the problem of installing swak4Foam with 1.6-ext.

It doesn't matter if this is Python 2 or 3
This problem is caused by Linux distros that install 'python2' and/or 'python3' but no python
On such distros usually a packages exists that links 'python' to one of those

You are trying to write in /usr/lib/openfoam which is not writable without root.


Try this

mkdir -p $FOAM_RUN


then execute Allwmake script
