I tried to install FOAM-ext-3.0 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32bit and follow the installation instruction on http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Installation/Linux/foam-extend-3.0/Ubuntu#Ubuntu_12.04
But I met some error when stage3 libccmio of Thidparty:

It seems that it cannot regnize the system and configure the installation of libccmio. Anyone have idea how to fix this problem. Thanks a lot.

Greetings Chen Yu and welcome to the forum!

I have a feeling that you did not follow only one set of instructions, which lead to the confusion in the build process.
I say this because:

1. The link you provided points to here: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...u#Ubuntu_12.04
2. But you meant to give this link: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...u#Ubuntu_12.04
3. Then there is the detail that the build script is trying to build at "/opt/foam-extend-3.0/", which implies that something strange is going on, since the instructions do not tell you to install in "/opt".

Therefore, in order to be able to help you, I need to know:

1. Do you have any other version of OpenFOAM already installed in your machine?
   1. If you do, have you tried following these instructions: Using aliases to help manage multiple OpenFOAM versions
2. Did you do anything differently from the instructions provided here: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...u#Ubuntu_12.04 And if you did, what exactly was it?

Best regards,
Bruno

Thank you for the reply.

I have another version of OpenFoam2.1.1 in /opt, so I put extend-3.0 in /opt. And I also changed etc/bashrc respectively and used alias to manage different version of OF.

You are right that I mistaken the installation instruction for different versions (1.6ext and extend3.0). After I realized it, I also tried to repeat the steps, the error still exits.

I also installed extend-3.0 on another computer with Ubuntu_x86_64, but everything looks well. This post showed similar problem http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...m-1-6-ext.html, and the author solved the problem with upgrade OS to x86_64 version.

Shall I clean all the installation of extend-3.0 and restart from the very beginning follow the instructions? Or shall I upgrade the OS to X86_64?

Hi Chen,

Yesterday I spent some time trying to figure out how to patch "libccmio" for building in 32bit, but I didn't have any success

If you're in a hurry, I believe you have at least two quick solutions:

1. Ignore this error, since "libccmio" is not important for foam-extend 3.0 to work as intended. You would only need it if you need to convert CCM meshes to OpenFOAM.
2. You might want to install a 64 bit (x86_64) Linux Distribution, since it allows you to work with more than 2GB of RAM per application.

Best regards,
Bruno

Thank you very much.
