hello,

it is some time that i am trying to install OF 2.2 on a cluster ( i am not administrator) .

And something always go wrong. one of the errors is similar to
http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...xx-h-file.html
but can not completely understand what to do. So i was looking for some extra help.
I tried both OpenMPI or SYSTEMOPENMPI.

Do you have any suggestion?
thank you a lot
francesco


So if I use SYSTEMOPENMPI option the first error is :

Hello there

I can see that you are running a RHEL cluster version 6.x

Here is the official statement from openfoam.com

http://www.openfoam.org/download/git.php

Checking the System
To check your system is ready to build the sources, execute the foamSystemCheck script (in the OpenFOAM-2.2.x/bin directory). If any critical software is missing, or needs updating to a newer version, please contact the system administrator to install the required software before proceeding to the build.
In particular your system will need to include a recent version of a C++ compiler. Compilation has been tested with the following compilers and versions:

GCC: 4.5.0 and above
LLVM Clang: 3.1
Intel ICC: 12.1.0 and 13.1.0
The default compiler for OpenFOAM is GCC. OpenFOAM 2.2.0 will only compile with versions of GCC above 4.5.0. Administrators and users can check the version of GCC running on their system by typing

As you can see it says you need GCC 4.5 or above.

You can have a check and see if centFOAM works for you.

Thank you,

yes I was aware of the gcc problem, so I had already loaded the gcc 4.6.4 module. The system passed also the SystemCheck(see below). Sorry for not stating that clearly from the beginning.

But i noticed that in the error i had :
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux6E/4.4.6/../../../../lib64/crt1.o: In function `_start':

DOes it means that the 4.6.4 module has some wrong link?

thank you a lot for your help...

Greetings to all!

@Luca: you should also check if g++ is also 4.6.4 or just 4.4.6:

g++ --version

If by any chance you don't have the module for g++ 4.6.4, you can try the following instructions: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...HEL#CentOS_6.4

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,
Thank you for the reply. Also g++ seems ok (is it?) ...

I have done the procedure again with SYSTEMOPENMPI, load the module for 4.6.4 ,run wcleanAll, wcleanLnIncludeAll, and Allwmake. The error is still there but before i may have overlooked a problem that I am surprised i haven't seen it since usually i do a grep 'error'.

But I have some :
gcc: error: unrecognized option ‘--showme:compile’
preatty early in the installation.

below there is the beginning of the log file.

Any idea? Should i try again with the procedure that Bruno suggested me for the case that i did not had g++ ?

Thank you a lot for the help.

Hi All,

i still have problems with this installation.

Do you think i can proceed with this instructions :
http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...HEL#CentOS_6.4

even though i do not have administrator privileges? So i can not perform point 1:
================================================== ===========
su -
yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'
yum install openmpi openmpi-devel qt-devel zlib-devel texinfo
#This one is useful, but not crucial
yum upgrade
exit
================================================== ============

Does anybody knows a work around?

thank you for the help

[wyldckat]

Hi Luca,

Sorry, long week at work and couldn't reply sooner.

The error you got is because "mpicc" was unable to provide a good answer to these lines of code at "mplibSYSTEMOPENMPI": https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM...bSYSTEMOPENMPI

Originally Posted by wmake/rules/General/mplibSYSTEMOPENMPI

PINC = $(shell mpicc --showme:compile)
PLIBS = $(shell mpicc --showme:link)

In your system, it looks like "mpicc" is linked directly to "gcc", which leads to the problem you're getting.

I took a look at your first post on this thread and it looks like you're using a specific MPI toolbox, possibly MPICH2?

/opt/parastation/mpi2/

So, for using this, here's what I can figure out:

1. You need to change the initial source command from:
   

   WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI

   To:
   

   WM_MPLIB=MPICH

   Check step #4 from the following link see what I mean: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...HEL#CentOS_6.4
2. Then edit the file "$WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc/config/settings.sh". To know where this points to, run:
   

   echo $WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc/config/settings.sh

3. Look for the line that has this:
   

   MPICH)

   And adapt the code below it.
   • If I'm not mistaken, change this code:
     

         export FOAM_MPI=mpich2-1.1.1p1
         export MPI_HOME=$WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/$FOAM_MPI
         export MPI_ARCH_PATH=$WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/platforms/$WM_ARCH$WM_COMPILER/$FOAM_MPI

     To this:
     

         export FOAM_MPI=ParaStationMPI2
         export MPI_HOME=/opt/parastation/mpi2
         export MPI_ARCH_PATH=/opt/parastation/mpi2

4. Then start a new terminal, just to make sure you start with a clean shell environment.
5. To check if the environment is well defined, run:
   

   echo $MPI_HOME
   echo $MPI_ARCH_PATH

   and confirm if the paths above are being used.
6. If all OK, then run:

   ./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1

   once again! Hopefully it will finally build as intended.

Best regards,
Bruno

Dear Bruno,

Thank you a lot for your help. I have followed your suggestions
and it seems the installation went much better. I still have some errors ( see attachment) but i guess that with a clean installation they will go away.

the /foamInstallationTest gives me :
Summary
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Base configuration ok.
Critical systems ok.

Done

Tonight i will to a clean up and run a clean installation. Hope that this will the end of it.

Thank you a lot

[Luchini]

Hello everybody.

So i have finished the clean installation. I think the installation it was successful but i still have the same errors as before. In attachment there is a summary of the make.log.
All major applications seem installed correctly.
To me the errors seems kind of minor but i would be grateful if somebody can comment on them to give me an idea of their criticality and eventually an hint on how to solve them.

Summarizing even further the attachment i have :

A) could not open file zoltanRenumber.H for source file renumberMesh.C

B) /usr/lib/../lib64/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `PC'
/usr/lib/../lib64/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgetflag'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

C) ERROR: ParaView not found in /home/flucci/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.2.x/platforms/linux64Gcc/paraview-3.12.0

D)make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/flucci/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.x/applications/utilities/thermophysical'

Anything to be warried of?

Thank you a lot for the HELP.

[wyldckat]

Hi Luca,

Based on the summary of errors you've provided:

1. Not a problem.
2. This is a tough one to replicate. The problem seems to be due to an inconsistency between the library and the header file for the library "readline".
3. This is normal to happen, if you didn't follow the build instructions for building ParaView, which were also on the wiki. But my guess is that on the cluster, you don't need ParaView, so in that case, no problem here.
4. It's a reference to setSet not building due to the problems with "readline".

So, in essence: nothing much to worry about. If you don't have setSet (command line based control of creating sets), you can still use topoSet (dictionary based creation of sets).


If you do want to have setSet up and running, it'll be necessary to figure out which header file it's using and if it's related to the same version as the library file itself.

Best regards,
Bruno
