Hi all,

While trying to compile foam-extend-3.1 following the instruction given in doc/buildInstructions/Ubuntu/Ubuntu_14.04, most of the solvers got compliled. For dbns dolver under compressible flow, I am getting following error.

done.

Can anyone please help. I have OpenFOAM 2.3.0 also installed via source on the same machine. And I using aliases to switch between the two. I am able to run other solvers within foam-extend-3-1.

Hi Ashwani,

i've a similar problem with dbns on a sles cluster. I didn't solve it yet but i think that it has s.th. to do with the ThirdParty applications. Some of them create libraries in the usr/bin/ directory by default which needs root permission. E.g. for mesquite I tried to change the prefix as I don't have root access. It didn't help..
For you perhaps compiling ThirdParty as root helps.
If you or someone else found the answer please post it as fast as possible .

Thank you,
Jens

Hi,

i still didn't solve the problem. ext 3.1 works on my local suse(gcc4.8.1) machine so perhaps the compiler i use is too old (gcc 4.5.0). DId you try to update it? When I compile the src/dbns libraries I got the following error:

ThirdParty/packages/ParMGridGen-1.0/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/lib/libMGridGen.so: undefined reference to `memcpy@GLIBC_2.14'

A colleague said that this also indicates a gcc problem.

Hope someone can help us.

Cheers,
Jens

Hey guys,

this is my last try. Does anybody know why ParMGridGen is asking for GLIBC_2.14. I successfully compiled fe31 on an CentOS 6.3 cluster where
ldd --version gives ldd (GNU libc) 2.12
so 2.14 shouldn't be required (SLES System has 2.11.1).

Thanks for your help!

Jens
