Hey everyone,
I'm a complete beginner with Ubuntu having always been a windows user, but I require OpenFOAM for my thesis. I'm having trouble with the installation of OpenFOAM 2.2.0 in Ubuntu 12.10 using the i686 architecture. I have tried both Deb and Source pack installations but I cant get either to work. I have tried installing by following the steps in this link http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...M-2.2.0/Ubuntu but there is no 3rd step for i686. I would like to know: what is the difference between deb pack and source pack installation? Which one do I use? How to install OpenFOAM 2.2.0 for ubuntu 12.10 using i686 Much appreciated, please remember I am completely new to this! |

Greetings Angus,

Building from source gives the ability to build on any Linux Distribution, as well as having more control on how things are built. It also makes it easier to modify the source code and build it again. As I wrote in the beginning, you can continue to follow the instructions for i386/i686. Or you can give some more information on what happened when you tried to install the Deb pack version. Best regards, Bruno

This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: openfoam220 : Depends: csh but it is not installable Depends: libopenmpi1.3 but it is not installable Depends: libptscotch-5.1 but it is not installable Depends: libscotch-5.1 but it is not installable Depends: libscotch-dev but it is not installable Depends: libopenmpi-dev but it is not installable Depends: openmpi-bin but it is not installable Recommends: libptscotch-dev but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Which is where i think things are going wrong (step 3) |

Hi Angus,
The "universe" repository isn't turned on. For more information on how to turn it on: http://askubuntu.com/questions/78613...e-command-line After turning it back on, don't forget to do step #2 once again! Best regards, Bruno

Hi Bruno,
Everything seems to be installing quite nicely now, thank you very much! You're probably my favourite person at the moment! Gus |
