Problems installing OpenFOAM 1.6-ext on Ubuntu 12.04

Hi
i tried to install OF-1.6-ext on Ubuntu 12.04.
after typing ./Allwmake and after more than 5 hours this message is appeared:
make[1]: Target `application' not remade because of errors.
what is the problem?
thanks.

Greetings Arash,

Please try following these instructions: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...u#Ubuntu_12.04 - namely the section for Ubuntu 12.04.

If you still have problems, follow the instructions as given in step #10 and attach the "make.log.tar.gz" file to your next post.

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,
Thanks for your help.
I've followed this site:
http://repo.or.cz/w/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext....04_64-bit.txt

Hi Arash,

:eek: the error you got was this one:

Code:

g++: internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus)

Please submit a full bug report,

with preprocessed source if appropriate.

See <file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-4.6/README.Bugs> for instructions.

make[2]: *** [Make/linux64Gcc46DPOpt/decomposePar.o] Error 4

I've gotten these kinds of errors in the past:

Once was because one of the memory modules was damaged and I had to remove it.
Other times it was due to the kernel having problems dealing with Adobe Flash, VLC and/or with virtual machines... after I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04, I no longer had problems.

Either way, you can try running Allwmake once again. It should be able to compile/build the things that have not yet been able to compile/build and hopefully this time it will build decomposePar without any problems.

Best regards,
Bruno
