PV3FoamReader and SUSE SLE-11 SP 3

gcc (SUSE Linux) 4.7.3
mpirun (Open MPI) 1.7.2

I installed OpenFOAM 2.2.x for Suse SLE-11 SP3 from this repository:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/s...ge=openfoam22x

I downloaded Third-Party-2.2.2.tgz
i unzip it and move it to /opt/OpenFOAM/Third-Party-2.2.x

./makeParaView seems to work.

Code:

cd /opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.x/applications/utilities/postProcessing/graphics/PV3Readers/

wmSet

./Allwclean

+ wclean libso vtkPV3Readers

wclean vtkPV3Readers

+ PV3blockMeshReader/Allwclean

+ rm -f '/opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.x/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/lib/libPV3blockMeshReader*'

+ rm -rf PV3blockMeshReader/Make

+ wclean libso vtkPV3blockMesh

wclean vtkPV3blockMesh

+ PV3FoamReader/Allwclean

+ rm -f '/opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.x/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/lib/libPV3FoamReader*'

+ rm -rf PV3FoamReader/Make

+ wclean libso vtkPV3Foam

wclean vtkPV3Foam

Seems to be ok so far.
Now i tried ./Allwmake

Code:

+ cd .

Can anyone help me?

Greetings jokergermany.de.vu and welcome to the forum!

It's possible that the people that created those packages are using the default ParaView version that comes with openSUSE. The simplest hack to use the system's ParaView version (or even the one you've already built now) is to add the following alias to your "~/.bashrc" file:

Code:

paraFoam -builtin

As for the error message you're getting, it seems that OpenFOAM's libraries are not accessible for some reason. In your case, you should be able to find with the following commands:

Code:

ls -l /opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.x/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/lib/libblockMesh.so

ls -l /opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.x/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/lib/libOpenFOAM.so

If you do not find them there, then it's because you haven't properly followed the instructions given on this file: https://build.opensuse.org/package/v...am22x?expand=1

Best regards,
Bruno

Thanks, I've done the two commands from the instructions, but the files sill didn't exist...

Code:

/opt/openfoam/OpenFOAM-2.2.x/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt # ls

bin  lib

Code:

/opt/openfoam/OpenFOAM-2.2.x/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/lib # ls

dummy                                 libOSspecific.o

libdistributionModels.so              libsolidMixtureProperties.so

liblagrangian.so                      libtriSurface.so

libliquidMixtureProperties.so         libvtkPV3Readers.so

libmeshTools.so                       paraview-3.12

libmolecularMeasurements.so           postCalc.o

libODE.so

I think this is also the problem why openfoam only runs with one thread, too...

There is something very wrong in that installation. I have 104 "*.so" files inside the folder "lib" in my installation (edit: without counting the ones inside the subfolders!).

I strongly suggest that you remove that installation and build OpenFOAM 2.2.x from source code instead. The following instructions are for 2.2.2: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...#openSUSE_12.2 - but you can easily adjust your steps, based on the old git instructions, mostly because of the git repository link: http://www.openfoam.org/archive/2.2.2/download/git.php

Thanks,
i trying to install the git repository now, but when i try to compile OpenFoam i get the following error:

Code:

/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.3/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lincompressibleTransportModels

/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.3/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lOpenFOAM

In the first link I had provided, in step #8, it specifies to execute this command:

Code:

./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1

You need to look for the first error message in the file "make.log".

In addition, even though you've mentioned in the first post that you have gcc 4.7.3, make sure that you also have the GNU C++ compiler of the same version:

Code:

gcc --version

g++ --version

Both should be of the same version, which for OpenFOAM 2.2, should be GCC 4.5 or newer.

Ok the g++ version was too old.
now both are version 4.6.4

I compile OpenFoam at the moment....

Yeah =)

Everything seems to work fine now with the root user.

But a user without root rights didn't can run ParaFoam:

user:

Code:

blub@blubber:~/OpenFOAM/blub-2.2.x/run/motorbike> paraFoam



FATAL ERROR: ParaView reader module libraries do not exist



Please build the reader module before continuing:

cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV3Readers

./Allwclean

./Allwmake

root:

Code:

blubber:/home/blub/OpenFOAM/blub-2.2.x/run/motorbike # paraFoam

created temporary 'motorbike.OpenFOAM'

libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

libGL error: Try again with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose for more details.

Is this the Problem?

Code:

wmSet: command not found

Ok the solution:

as root:

Code:

chmod 777 -R /opt/OpenFoam

as user:

Code:

cd /opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.x/applications/utilities/postProcessing/graphics/PV3Readers/

./Allwclean

./Allwmake

Thanks for your help =)

Quick note: wmSET is an alias command created when the OpenFOAM shell environment is activated.
"wmSet" is an invalid name, simply because Linux Distributions are usually case sensitive ;)
