Hi,

I have successfully compiled OpenFOAM 2.3.0 on OpenSuse 13.2.
However, I am unable to get paraview running.

FATAL ERROR: ParaView reader module libraries do not exist

Please build the reader module before continuing:
cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV4Readers
./Allwclean
./Allwmake

Please see attached log file for the same.

Can anyone help me with this error?

Hi,

1. https://www.google.com/search?client...IqOx8wfV34KICg
2. http://visitusers.org/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1414609406/2. Though it's VisIt not paraview the problem is the same.
   

So, you've got rather wide range of solutions:

1. Use paraview from OpenSUSE repository. This will require correction of paraFoam script (so it use system-wide installed paraview). Search the forum for description of necessary corrections.
2. Correct VTK/Rendering/OpenGL/vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx (see second link for necessary corrections). Compile paraview yourself.
3. (ugly) Correct /usr/include/GL/glext.h (also see second link). Compile paraview yourself.

Hi,
i had compiled OpenFOAM-2.3.1 and ThirdParty-2.3.1 on openSUSE 13.2 just fine. Problem with compiling ParaView is gone.

Note that i used guide from: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...#openSUSE_12.3

I tried with the above instructions. But again I ended up with same error.

However I installed paraview versioon 4.2.0 from OpenSUSE repository.Then I added following alias command in my ~/.bashrc file which was given at

https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Installation/Linux/OpenFOAM-2.3.0

alias paraFoam='paraFoam -builtin'

Done! Now i can use paraview.

Thanks for the feedback! The trick is that a certain hack is already performed in the ParaView 4.1.0 source code provided with ThirdParty 2.3.1, namely running this command:

sed -i -e 's=//#define GLX_GLXEXT_LEGACY=#define GLX_GLXEXT_LEGACY=' \
  ParaView-4.1.0/VTK/Rendering/OpenGL/vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx

@Hrushi and @Alexey: Thanks for sharing your solutions as well!


On a side note: I'm currently writing detailed instructions on how to build OpenFOAM 2.3.0 on openSUSE 13.2, which are being written here: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...#openSUSE_13.2 - as soon as I manage to complete writing them, I'll update this post.

edit: Finished writing and testing the instructions on a 64-bit virtual machine with openSUSE 13.2. If anyone can test on 32-bit, it would be helpful!

Best regards,
Bruno

Greetings to all,

I've tried to install Openfoam v2.3.1 on opensuse 13.1. I've already install 2.2.2 without problems but now I can not build ptscotch. I've some problems :
'/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.8/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lmpi
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status'
I've used the guide. I think it's a problem with my openmpi version :
mpirun --version
mpirun (Open MPI) 1.7.2

Thanks to your help

Best regards
Olivier

Greetings Olivier,

A few questions:

1. How are you keeping the two shell environments apart? Namely how are you making sure that the OpenFOAM 2.2.2 installation will not interfere with new installation of OpenFOAM 2.3.1?
   • In case you don't know the answer, here's some reading material: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...nFOAM_versions
2. Which specific installation instructions are you following?

Best regards,
Bruno

[brugiere_olivier]

Greetings Bruno,

I've already installed Openfoam 2.2.2 and I've used this version with other Openfoam 2.3.0.
But I've made some modifications on my compter and now I can not compile Openfoam 2.3.0 and 2.3.1. I've a problem with ptscotch library. I can used OpenFoam but not SnappyHexMesh in parallel. So if you have some tips...

Best regards

Olivier

[brugiere_olivier]

Hi all,

I've upgraded my opensuse 13.1 to 13.2 and I think it will work.

Best regards

Olivier

[wyldckat]

Hi Olivier,

I hope upgrading to openSUSE 13.2 works for you.
If not, without more specific information, my best tip based on a guess is what I already indicated: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...nFOAM_versions

Best regards,
Bruno

I successfully installed version 2.3.1 on opensuse 13.2 following the instruction on
http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...#openSUSE_13.2
the only thing I had to do (not indicated) was to make these two link:

ln -s  /usr/lib64/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib64/libGL.so (because of nvidia driver installation)
ln -s /usr/lib64/mpi/gcc/openmpi/lib64/libmpi.so.1 /usr/lib64/libmpi.so.1

without the second link this is what I obtain:

[karamiag]

I am sorry but the link

ln -s /usr/lib64/mpi/gcc/openmpi/lib64/libmpi.so.1 /usr/lib64/libmpi.so.1

is not sufficient to let openfoam work in parallel. Launching in parallel this is the message I receive:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
bool IPstream::init(int& argc, char**& argv) : attempt to run parallel on 1 processor

Any hint?
Thank you.

Greetings Giovanni,

1. The (unofficial) instructions for installing OpenFOAM 2.3.1 on openSUSE 13.2 are these ones: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...#openSUSE_13.2 - the link you provided was for 2.3.0
2. The hack for the NVidia installation is something I usually don't write on the wiki, because it's something that is explained on the Internet at least a few times
   And because I don't have an NVidia card... and even if I had one, it's not guaranteed that it'll work for all NVidia driver variants
3. The hack for Open-MPI should not be necessary. If you have a look at the instructions in step #4, the instructions state this:
   

   4. Now, since we're trying to minimize the number of packages to be built, the Open-MPI package that is available with openSUSE is going to be chosen. The downside is that this requires that you logout and log back in, for the system to update the environment settings.
   Nonetheless, we can postpone logging out by running:

   source /etc/profile.d/mpi-selector.sh

   Note: But keep in mind that until you logout, use this command line on every new terminal window/tab!

4. The last error message you've gotten was because you did not use the "-parallel" option at the end of the command, e.g. the correct execution is like this:
   

   mpirun -np 2 icoFoam -parallel

   edit: actually, the problem seems to be that you had only executed something like this:
   

   icoFoam -parallel

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno!
Thank you for the quick response.
Everything works after sourcing /etc/profile.d/mpi-selector.sh.
Thank you very much!!

hi everyone
i installed openFOAM-2.3.1 on opensuse 13.2
and i try to run cavity(in tutorials) so when i type 'paraFoam' in terminal the error occured az below:


FATAL ERROR: ParaView reader module libraries do not exist

Please build the reader module before continuing:
cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV4Readers
./Allwclean
./Allwmake

so im lost!!! i search for solution in sevral pages but i just confused!!
note:im a beginner and am just start linux,so plz answer very simple,
thanks

[wyldckat]

Greetings behrouz and welcome to the forum!

It would help if you had detailed which installation instructions you have followed.

Without knowing which instructions you followed, then I suggest you try following these instructions: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...#openSUSE_13.2

You could also try running:

cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV4Readers 
wmSET $FOAM_SETTINGS
./Allwclean 
./Allwmake

to see if it would fix the problem.

If it does not solve the problem, then please do detail which installation instructions you have followed.

Best regards,
Bruno

[behrouz]

Dear Bruno Santos
first of all: Thanks a lot for your reply
second of all: I will test your code and sahre result with you

Dear dear Bruno Santos
your guide work,and my problem solved.
THANKS A LOT my friend

Dear OF-users,

These days I successfully installed OpenFOAM-2.4 on openSUSE-13.2.

At the beginning I had problem in compiling preview-4.1.

Then, thanks to B. Santos, I followed the step 13 (see below link) and it compiled without trouble.
