I seem unable to build Paraview 3.12 after an apparently successful build of OpenFOAM 2.1.1.

I am running 64-bit Gentoo Linux:

Code:
Linux  thinkpad 3.4.9-gentoo #12 SMP Sun Nov 18 10:10:03 CET 2012 x86_64  Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T9400 @ 2.53GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
In order to have a system-wide installation I have been building as root. I set the build environment by running a script containing the following:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
export FOAM_INST_DIR=/usr/local/OpenFOAM
source /usr/local/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc
The bashrc is unmodified.

When I try to build Paraview, I get the following error:

Code:

    ---
    Installation complete for paraview-3.12.0
    Set environment variables:

        export ParaView_DIR=/usr/local/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.1.1/platforms/linux64Gcc/paraview-3.12.0
        export PATH=$ParaView_DIR/bin:$PATH
        export PV_PLUGIN_PATH=$FOAM_LIBBIN/paraview-3.12
    ---

Done
I have no idea what is wrong here, but I'll bet it's an environment problem.


For example, when I run foamInstallationTest in the shell that I built OpenFOAM in, it (partly) works:

Code:

Note the critical error and the bash errors. And why does the user directory contain my login id in the broken version, and the root login id in the working one, even though I am running foamInstallationTest from a root shell in both cases?

Greetings Stephen and welcome to the forum!

The foamInstallationTest script isn't bullet proof It's known to have issues on certain shells.
As for running it as root and as normal user, the variable "$WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR" is still pointing to the normal user, which hints at something not properly done somewhere along the line.

The script you've got:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
export FOAM_INST_DIR=/usr/local/OpenFOAM
source /usr/local/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc
How to you use it? Because if you use it like this:
Code:
./scriptname
#or
bash scriptname
Then it's wrong. You should run it like this:
Code:
source scriptname
#or
. scriptname
For fixing the foamInstallationTest script, it would be helpful to know which shell and version you're using...

I tried searching for indications on what "3.4.9-gentoo" provides, but I didn't find it. So could you please indicate which Gcc version you're using? Knowing this would make it easier to help you figure out how to fix ParaView's building process.
Most likely, the fix is shown in Step #7 on these instructions: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...#openSUSE_12.2 - namely:
Code:
cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR
sed -i -e 's/ClearAndSelect = Clear | Select/ClearAndSelect = static_cast<int>(Clear) | static_cast<int>(Select)/' \
ParaView-3.12.0/Qt/Core/pqServerManagerSelectionModel.h
In addition, be careful with which version of Qt you're building ParaView with. ParaView 3.12.0 should be built with Qt 4.6.

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno, thank you for the friendly welcome

When I use "source" OFinit instead of executing the script directly, foamInstallationTest completes without errors.

However, I now get this at the end of every command output:

Code:
bin # 

echo -ne "\033_${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/#$HOME/~}\033\\"
bin #
Very strange.

bash version is 4.2.37:

Code:
# bash --version
bash --version

did not work, unfortunately.

My current Qt version is 4.8.2. Installing Qt 4.6 would be a major headache and is likely to break my system. If Paraview is so Qt-sensitive, why isn't the required Qt library packaged with it? It would really simplify the build...

Do you have any idea why OpenFOAM and Paraview don't just use autoconf (./configure && make && make install)?

Thanks for your help!

Very strange.
Indeed, very strange... the only thing that comes to mind that could lead to this is the first line in the "OFinit" script, because it's not needed for sourced scripts.

Code:
ls -l $(which sh)

OK, I was fearing that you might have gcc 4.7 or 4.8... but 4.5 is perfectly fine.

OK, Qt 4.8 is indeed a bad idea for building ParaView 3.12.0 with... although, the link I gave above has instructions for building ParaView with Qt 4.8.1 that openSUSE 12.2 provides .
ParaView doesn't use autoconf because it uses CMake, which is multi-platform.

But fear not, because OpenFOAM takes this possibility into account, by providing the makeQt script! Although it doesn't do everything on it's own. Adapting from the instructions provided here - http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...M-2.1.1/Ubuntu - here's what you'll need to do:
Code:
cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR
wget "http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/file_download.php?file_id=142&type=bug" -O getQt

sed -i -e 's=4\.7\.3=4.6.4=' getQt
sed -i -e 's=ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/=http://releases.qt-project.org/qt4/source/=' getQt

./getQt
./makeQt 4.6.4 > mkqt.log 2>&1

cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR
./makeParaView -qmake ${WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR}/platforms/$WM_ARCH$WM_COMPILER/qt-4.6.4/bin/qmake \
PARAVIEW_INSTALL_THIRD_PARTY_LIBRARIES:BOOL=ON > mkPV.log 2>&1
 
cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV3Readers 
wmSET $FOAM_SETTINGS
export PATH=$WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/platforms/$WM_ARCH$WM_COMPILER/qt-4.6.4/bin:$PATH
./Allwclean 
./Allwmake
If anything goes wrong, you should have two important logs that should show you what went wrong: "mkPV.log" and "mkqt.log".

edit: by the way, if you want to, you can create a wiki page that provides dedicated instructions for Gentoo: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...M-2.1.1/Gentoo

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi again, Bruno...

I followed your instructions. Building Qt fails with this output:

Error building: Qt-4.6.4
So it looks like a libpng problem. I have the following libpng installed:

Code:
# eix libpng
[I] media-libs/libpng
     Available versions:  
        (1.2)   1.2.50
        (0)     1.5.13-r1 ~1.5.14
        {{apng neon static-libs}}
     Installed versions:  1.5.13-r1(16:42:02 13.10.2012)(-apng -neon -static-libs)
     Homepage:            http://www.libpng.org/
     Description:         Portable Network Graphics library
This is starting to become frustrating, as I've been at this for three days and still don't have a working installation. Qt 4.6 is really very outdated (it is no longer in Gentoo's portage tree) and likely requires libpng 1.4 (which is also no longer in Gentoo's portage tree).

I don't enjoy the thought of having to obtain an entire tree of outdated dependencies in order to make this and the PV3FoamReaders work.

Gentoo has a Paraview ebuild for 3.14 and 3.98. Do I even need 3.12? What are the differences between 3.98 and 3.12? And will 3.98 work with OpenFOAM 2.1.1?

Sure enough.

From the libpng changelogs:

Code:
version 1.5.0 [January 6, 2011]    Moved declaration of png_struct into private pngstruct.h and png_info     into pnginfo.h
Previous version was 1.4.1.

Hi Stephen,

I haven't come across that particular issue before... but OK, if you want to move up to ParaView 3.14 or 3.98, here's what you can do:
  1. Ignore ParaView 3.12.0 and Qt 4.6.4 altogether. Remove them if you want to save space, including the "build" folder which might be in the "ThirdParty-2.1.*" folder.
    • Currently the only advantage of using ParaView 3.12.0 was because it's the one that more easily integrates with OpenFOAM's own official plug-in reader.
  2. Install either ParaView 3.14 or 3.98 on your system, whichever you prefer. If possible, I advise you to install 3.98.1, which is the latest version and should be one of the best versions of ParaView so far.
  3. After ParaView is working on your system, you have (at least) two choices:
    1. Whenever you run paraFoam, use the option -builtin:
      Code:
      paraFoam -builtin
      Note about bug fix needed: http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=612
    2. Or hack directly the paraFoam script and hard code it to use the extension ".foam":
      Code:
      sed -i -e 's/extension=OpenFOAM/extension=foam/' $WM_PROJECT_DIR/bin/paraFoam
  4. And you're ready to go!
Best regards,
Bruno

Okay, I am almost there.

For the benefit of others: Paraview 3.12 wouldn't compile because it requires qt-assistant to be installed. Once I had installed qt-assistant, Paraview compiled successfully.

openmpi-1.5.3 is also required. openmpi-1.4.3 will not work, as it lacks the libmpi.so.1 library.

Once Paraview is built, you need to make sure the dynamic libraries are properly linked. I put this in a custom env.d file [/etc/env.d/91paraview]:

Code:
LDPATH=/usr/local/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.1.1/platforms/linux64Gcc/paraview-3.12.0/lib/paraview-3.12/
and ran env-update.

I was unable to find any file or script named wmSET, so I have no idea what tarball or package it comes from.

Running paraFoam as an unprivileged user still results in an error:

Code:
$ paraFoam 
created temporary 'cavity.OpenFOAM'
/usr/local/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/bin/paraFoam: line 260: paraview: command not found

It was a path problem. Temporarily, I did

Code:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.1.1/build/linux64Gcc/paraview-3.12.0/bin/
as an unprivileged user, then ran paraFoam.

paraview starts, but the Render View window is empty. I don't know what is wrong. I will try working through a few other tutorials to see if they now work as expected.

With so many different paths and environment scripts, I have completely lost the thread. Cleaning this up and figuring out what the real steps are to make a clean, working source install of OpenFOAM 2.1.1 and Paraview 3.12 is going to be a challenge.

I prefer to make a clean, system-wide install as root so that the resulting installation works for an unprivileged user, but the instructions pay only limited attention to this installation variant, even though it's the standard procedure in Linux. Considering how much effort the installation is, I'd only want to do this once and have it work for everybody who uses the machine.

Hi Stephen,

Many thanks for sharing you findings!
I personally haven't looked into Gentoo because of what I've read in the past, namely that we have to build everything from source ourselves... but it's 2013, I should give it a go one of these days...

Strange... when building from source, there shouldn't be any problems with finding "libmpi.so.*".

I'll answer this after the last quote...

wmSET is an alias, which is why it isn't picked up as a script:
Code:
$ alias wmSET
alias wmSET='. $WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc/bashrc'

Press the "Apply" button on the "Object Inspector" and it should show you a geometry... if you're running paraFoam from within a case folder and if the mesh has already been created .

And OpenFOAM as come a long way, because a few years ago, it was a lot more daunting!

I think I understand your point of view. But since the instructions have to contemplate inexperienced users, letting them run everything as root can easily lead them to bricking their Linux installation
Another reason for a personal installation is because some users will sooner or later want/need to do some heavy debugging, looking for errors in source code that they make, or because they are using a solver that has very little documentation. It's a lot easier to build and hack into the code when root permissions aren't required.


Now, as I mentioned above, to help solve some of the problems you're still having:
  1. On the official installation instructions: http://www.openfoam.org/download/source.php - scroll down to the section "Setting environment variables for alternative locations".
  2. There you'll find instructions on how to configure a non-default installation location. In your case, it should look like this:
    Code:
    export FOAM_INST_DIR=/usr/local/OpenFOAM
    foamDotFile=$FOAM_INST_DIR/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc 
    [ -f $foamDotFile ] && . $foamDotFile
  3. You can place this code in a script at "/etc/env.d/".
  4. A problem only arises when you need to have more than one OpenFOAM version installed. In that case, you can rely on aliases instead, such as this:
    Code:
    alias of211='export FOAM_INST_DIR=/usr/local/OpenFOAM; foamDotFile=$FOAM_INST_DIR/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc ; . $foamDotFile'
    alias of21x='export FOAM_INST_DIR=/usr/local/OpenFOAM; foamDotFile=$FOAM_INST_DIR/OpenFOAM-2.1.x/etc/bashrc ; . $foamDotFile'
    In this scenario, whenever you start a new terminal, you'll need to either run of211 or of21x, in order to activate the desired OpenFOAM environment.
  5. With this code in place, you can discard your "91paraview" script, because OpenFOAM's "bashrc" file will take care of loading up all of the vital environment variables, including references to ParaView's "lib" and "bin" folders.

Last but not least, I forgot to mention before that the instructions at openfoamwiki.net are not official and are still a work in progress. And for reference, the old (unofficial) installation page was... well, see for yourself: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...hic_version%29


Best regards,
Bruno

Greetings Stephen,

I started to play a bit with Gentoo today... and am still building Gnome, which is far worse than OpenFOAM, time-wise

Anyway, I remembered just now to check how emerge packages were on the subject of OpenFOAM and I found this: http://packages.gentoo.org/package/sci-libs/openfoam - it's recent, but looks like it exists before your first post


edit: based on my findings and very brief tests, I've created the page I mentioned before: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...M-2.1.1/Gentoo - Stephen, if you can and/or wish, feel free to improve upon those instructions!

Best regards,
Bruno

pajot is on a distinguished road
Ok, two things:

1. the Gentoo OpenFOAM ebuild has been bumped to 2.2. All of the OpenFOAM ebuilds create the directory structure incorrectly. I had to create symlinks to get things to work. There is a bug filed in Gentoo bugzilla, but I don't know how much time the maintainer has to work on things. Anyway, after creating the symlinks and adding

Code:
alias startOF22='source /usr/lib64/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.0/etc/bashrc'
alias paraFoam='paraFoam -builtin'
to .bashrc, this works on my 64-bit machine.

2. I have contributed a new ebuild to the Gentoo science overlay for gmsh-2.7.0.

I still have remove everything and do the complete installation procedure again from scratch before I can update the instructions in the wiki.

Thanks for your assistance so far. OpenFOAM seems almost in a usable state on Gentoo.
