Hi All,


I would like to know whether I can install OF 2.30 in red hat linux 5.

I am trying to install 2.3.0 on RHEL 4.1.2 on a cluster, following the instructions of
http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...CentOS_SL_RHEL

I was able to follow all the steps except for the one:

#forcefully load Open-MPI into the environment
#the export command has been reported as needed due to the 
#module not being available in a clean installation
module load openmpi-x86_64 || export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib64/openmpi/bin 
 
#here you can change 4 to the number of cores you've got
source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.0/etc/bashrc WM_NCOMPPROCS=4 foamCompiler=ThirdParty \
WM_COMPILER=Gcc48 WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI

I will have

-bash: module: command not found

I ignored this step and continue to build OpenFOAM. And at the end I have a couple of errors. I attached the log file for your reference. Thanks a lot for any help I can get.

Greetings Pratap,

I've finished writing and testing the following instructions on CentOS 5.10: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...EL#CentOS_5.10

I don't know which specific RHEL 5 you have, but do try those instructions and let me know if anything doesn't work as intended.

Best regards,
Bruno

Greetings JHW,

I was going to try and install CentOS 4.8 on a virtual machine, but then I re-read your post and I think you're confusing version numbers, as there is no "RHEL 4.1.2", but RHEL 5 comes with GCC 4.1.2. You can confirm this by running:

cat /etc/*-release

It should give you something similar to this (I used CentOS 5.10):

CentOS release 5.10 (Final)

If this is the case, then I've finished writing and testing instructions for this version (CentOS/SL/RHEL 5.10) here: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...EL#CentOS_5.10

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,

Thanks for the reply. That was very embarrassing I was simply following the thread here http://www.howtoforge.com/how_to_fin...x_distribution And I thought the displayed version of the gcc compiler is the linux distribution version. Lesson learned!

I remove the entire Thirdparty folder and re-install it following this instruction http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...CentOS_SL_RHEL and now it works, with one minor problem. Just thought you might want to know. I had problems building setSet library (log attached).

I was able to identify the problem caused by the readline utility. I followed the solution listed here http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...mpile_OpenFOAM and solved it.

Anyway, thanks a lot again.

Hi JHW,

Many thanks for the detailed feedback! It's the second time someone tells me that this issue exists with building setSet, but I usually am not able to trigger this issue.

I'll give it another try to double-check this detail and add a sed based hack to the instructions... but I'll also try to figure out why this occurs.

By the way, knowing which RHEL version you're using would possibly make it easier for me to reproduce the same error.

edit: Figured it out why it happened and have updated the wiki page accordingly.

Best regards,
Bruno

PS: As your thread was on the same topic of installing OpenFOAM 2.3.0 on RHEL 5, I've merged the two related threads, to keep a good discussion thread on this topic!

[f0208secretx]

Thanks. The version I was using:

-bash-3.2$ cat /etc/*-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.10 (Tikanga)

JHW

[wyldckat]

Hi JHW,

Many thanks for the feedback! Then it's pretty much the same as CentOS 5.10.

What I managed to figure out was that as I was using a clean system, I therefore didn't have the "readline" development package installed, hence setSet would not use the library "readline". But on your system, it was already installed, which lead to the error you got.

I later re-tried with CentOS 6.5 as well, to ascertain if this issue also happened there or not, but it didn't. Nonetheless, it might happen with 6.4 or older, as I vaguely remember that this issue was fixed sometime ago, namely the dependency on the "libncurses.so".

Best regards,
Bruno

I have followed the recommended steps at http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...EL#CentOS_5.10 for installing on our CentOS 5.10 cluster with success until the last step.

At step 18 when I run:

./makeParaView4 -qmake $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/platforms/$WM_ARCH$WM_COMPILER/qt-4.8.4/bin/qmake PARAVIEW_INSTALL_THIRD_PARTY_LIBRARIES:BOOL=ON

It quickly fails with this output:

Any insight as to what my problem is?

Greetings Mike and welcome to the forum!

My first suspicion is that the error message you're getting is related to the build being made as superuser, i.e. as root. The installation instructions on the wiki were designed for building as normal user, not as root, because that way it's less likely that the person following the wiki page to skip an important step and mistakenly make an error, and when trying to fix it, accidentally completely destroys the whole system installation...

My second suspicion is that you ran out of disk space on the partition that has the folder "/opt".

My third suspicion is that "/opt" is an NFS mount, which can lead to seriously major problems when doing trying to build source code over a shared network folder, because it's a lot easier this way for metadata to not be up-to-date on time of the build.

If possible, please retry following the build instructions as a normal user. Once the build is completely done, you can copy or move only the important folders+files of the installation to "/opt" and then use chown and chmod for restoring the correct permissions.

Best regards,
Bruno

Bruno ... thanks for the quick reply.

You are right on one of your suspicions. I am installing as
root ... maybe not good, but I've come this far so I'll finish.

/opt is a local directory and is not running out of disk space.

As it turns out my problems were caused by yet another version of cmake that was previously installed in /opt. It was picking this up instead of the expected CentOS version from cmake-2.6.4. After I removed that from my execution path, it used the CentOS cmake and the build of ParaView 4.1.0 completed as expected.

Thanks for your help and thanks especially for such well written step-by-step instructions for installation!

Mike

[mlstrawb]

OK ... I finished the installation into /opt as root and everything went fine.

However all of /opt/OpenFOAM is owned by root.

When I turned this over to a regular user to try out, he tested some of the tutorials and got these results:

% pwd
~/snaps/foam

Modifying the controlDicts to run only one time step
/opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.0/tutorials/Alltest: line 182: cd: ../tutorialsTest: No such file or directory

The installation was meant for several users to use a single install of OpenFOAM ... hence installation by root in /opt rather than having each user install OpenFOAM in his home directory. How can this be configured so multiple users can use it?

Thanks.

As long as all users have read and execute permissions, but only root can write, then it's ready to be used

The OpenFOAM User Guide starts off in the introduction section of Chapter 2 on how to deal with the tutorials, i.e. first make a copy (of the tutorials folder) for personal use .

Quoting myself from a few minutes ago, both you and the users can find the OpenFOAM Guides at the following locations:

As a result, a user running paraFoam got the message:

%paraFoam

FATAL ERROR: ParaView reader module libraries do not exist

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

I saw a message in a different CFD thread that suggested using the builtin reader with "paraFoam -builtin" ... but that was not with CentOS 5.

Is this what we should suggest to users or is there a way to get the PV4Readers to install correctly?

Thanks.

Mike

Hi Mike,

The option "-builtin" is related to the ParaView version, and since the version installed with OpenFOAM 2.3.0 is ParaView 4.1.0, it should work just fine on CentOS 5.

As for the build problem, it's the same error you got when you tried building ParaView, where the older CMake version was getting in the way and messing up the build process. Have a look at post #9, where the output error you reported is essentially the same.

Best regards,
Bruno

PS: Please, when posting code, file contents or data output, use the "[CODE]" markers, as explained here: Posting code and output with [CODE]

[mlstrawb]

That doesn't seem to be the same problem here.

Even after verifying that it is using cmake from /opt/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.3.0/platforms/linux64Gcc48/cmake-2.8.12.1/bin/cmake it fails.

I should note that there was a break between running steps 1-15 and then finishing with steps 16-17. I had to logout after step 15 ... then later login and finish with steps 16-17. Perhaps I missed setting up some ENV variable somewhere. After I logged back in I ran:

source /opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.0/etc/bashrc foamCompiler=ThirdParty WM_COMPILER
=Gcc48 WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI

then

cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR ./makeParaView4 -qmake $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/platforms/$WM_ARCH$WM_COMPILER/qt-4.8.4/bin/qmake PARAVIEW_INSTALL_THIRD_PARTY_LIBRARIES:BOOL=ON cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV4Readers wmSET $FOAM_SETTINGS ./Allwclean ./Allwmake

Hi Mike,

Back in post #11, you wrote this:

After I removed that from my execution path, it used the CentOS cmake and the build of ParaView 4.1.0 completed as expected.

I don't know what you did back then to keep the old CMake out of sight, because the environment prepared by OpenFOAM's "bashrc" file should make the custom build of CMake 2.8.12 to be always found before any other version...


Perhaps ParaView didn't end up being build with success? To check if ParaView was built with success, the easiest is to run the following command on a shell environment ready to use OpenFOAM:

which paraview

If it doesn't tell you that the path is at:

/opt/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.3.0/platforms/linux64Gcc48/ParaView-4.1.0/bin/paraview

or similar, then wrong also occurred while building ParaView itself.

Although if the Allwmake script did try to build the PV4Readers, then ParaView should have been built with success.


Therefore, going back to the latest error message you had posted before, there is this line clearly indicating that the old CMake version is being picked up:

Originally Posted by mlstrawb

and this path shouldn't be picked up while building either ParaView nor PV4Readers.

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,

You are right (of course). I was so fixated on finding the correct cmake in PATH that I forgot all about the setting of CMAKE_ROOT environment variable ... which was set to the conflicting cmake version at /opt/cmake.

Thanks again.
Mike

Hi Bruno,

I am using Cent OS Version 6.5...I followed the steps in Wiki to install OpenFOAM 2.3.0.
http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...CentOS_SL_RHEL

And when I was running step #7

module load openmpi-x86_64 || export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib64/openmpi/bin

I get this error:

init.c(556):ERROR:161: Cannot initialize TCL

So logged in as a root and successfully executed this this command and furthur proceeded every step as a root user.

But executing the next command as follows, I received an error as follows:

[root@CAE CAE]# source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.0/etc/bashrc WM_NCOMPPROCS=4 foamCompiler=ThirdParty WM_COMPILER=Gcc48 WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI

Error:

Cannot open configuration file /home/CAE/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.2.x/platforms/linux64Gcc/openmpi-1.6.3/share/openmpi/mpicc-wrapper-data.txt
Error parsing data file mpicc: Not found

I dont know why it is still pointing to the previous version of OpenFOAM-2.2.x...I have removed the path set in .bashrc file and removed OpenFOAM-2.2.x and there is no ThirdParty-2.2.x now..
Is there anywhere else I should change the path of OpenFOAM?
I dont have any aliases.I set the environment variables in every new tab I open.But still there is an error.

But when I execute the above commands like 2 separate commands no issues as follows:

[root@CAE CAE]# source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.0/etc/bashrc
[root@CAE CAE]# WM_NCOMPPROCS=4 foamCompiler=ThirdParty WM_COMPILER=Gcc48 WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI

Then I proceeded with the steps.
But after executing step 14

./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1

I found error in log file.
It seems there is some problem in build.

Greetings DAPHNE,

I get this error:

init.c(556):ERROR:161: Cannot initialize TCL

can be ignored. Please do not switch to root mode for building/installing OpenFOAM, otherwise you risk damaging your whole Linux installation.

If you had continued to proceeded with the installation instructions as they are written, you wouldn't have gotten all of these problems

I'll make a note of this in the wiki pages, so that people won't fall into the same line of thought.

Best regards,
Bruno
