Problems with OpenFOAM 2.3.0 on Ubuntu 14.04

I am new to OpenFOAM and Linux and could use some assistance. I am running Ubuntu 14.04 and installed OpenFOAM-2.3.0 succesfully (atleast I thought).
after installing I ran the tests and everything worked fine. I then took a break and logged off Linux. When I returned to learning OpenFOAM. I noticed that I could not run any tutorials. When I run 'of230' which i assume you use to start openfoam I am not able to use the tutorials. When Typing -icoFoam -help i get the following message Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-version.c: 224: _dl_check_map_versions: Assertion `needed != ((void *)0)' failed! When I run the foamInstallationTest it seems ok. I get the following. Am I doing something wrong or missing something fundamental to Linux? Checking main OpenFOAM env variables... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Environment_variable Set_to_file_or_directory Valid Crit ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR /home/lloyd/OpenFOAM yes yes $WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR /home/lloyd/OpenFOAM/lloyd-2.3.0 yes no $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR /home/lloyd/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.3.0 yes yes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Checking the OpenFOAM env variables set on the PATH... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Environment_variable Set_to_file_or_directory Valid Path Crit ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $WM_PROJECT_DIR /home/lloyd/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.0 yes yes yes $FOAM_APPBIN ...-2.3.0/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/bin yes yes yes $FOAM_SITE_APPBIN .../2.3.0/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/bin no no $FOAM_USER_APPBIN ...-2.3.0/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/bin no no $WM_DIR .../lloyd/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.0/wmake yes yes yes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Checking the OpenFOAM env variables set on the LD_LIBRARY_PATH... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Environment_variable Set_to_file_or_directory Valid Path Crit ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $FOAM_LIBBIN ...-2.3.0/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/lib yes yes yes $FOAM_SITE_LIBBIN .../2.3.0/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/lib no no $FOAM_USER_LIBBIN ...-2.3.0/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/lib no no $MPI_ARCH_PATH ...0/platforms/linux64Gcc/openmpi-1.6.5 no yes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Third party software ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Software Version Location ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- flex 2.5.35 /usr/bin/flex gcc 4.8.2 /usr/bin/gcc gzip 1.6 /bin/gzip tar 1.27.1 /bin/tar icoFoam ...M/OpenFOAM-2.3.0/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/bin/icoFoam ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Base configuration ok.

Code:
Base configuration ok. Critical systems ok. Did you compile or install the binaries? What about just typing Code:

Thank you for your reply Dan. I followed the installation instruction from:
http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...u#Ubuntu_14.04 The -icoFoam was just a typo I made. I wasn't entering that into the terminal. I uninstalled, and deleted the folders and reinstalled it. It now allows me to enter icoFoam -help and get the proper response. So this brings me to the follow up question. Why did it fail last time? Did I fail to load the OpenFoam program properly? and that gave me the error I was getting? |

There are a number of reasons why it could have failed, and there is no way of knowing now. The key is to make sure that you have everything sourced correctly in your .bashrc and you have an up to date version installed. write back if you experience more problems.

Everything seems to be working correctly now. I'm not sure what happened last time. It worked fine the first time I installed it. I went to windows for a while and came back to linux and this error. I'm not sure if something happened there. Either way it seems ok now and I appreciate your response.
Being new to OpenFoam could you possibly point me to some good references? Mostly looking for some basic aerodynamic applications using OpenFoam. Thank you -Lloyd |

You can search through the forum since this question is asked a lot. I would go to this one
http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post410938 For a more technical and long read, I would read the dissertations by Dr. Jasak and another by Dr. de Villiers which are located here. The Dissertations by Rusche and Mangani are also good, but on a topic different than what you are going for. Good luck. |

thanks romainRH. I might try that.
How do you remove it? Do I simply rm the OpenFOAM directories? |

I tried modifying .bashrc with no luck. I spent a bit of time on that method.
I started from scratch and reinstalled as suggested by romainRH and it works now. thanks romainRH |

I figured out a workaround for the error. I posted it here: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post510295
