OpenFOAM 2.3.x on Mac OS X 10.10.1 Installation Errors
 

Hi,
I'm new here, and I have no experiences with these kind of things.
I'm trying to install OpenFOAM 2.3.x on my Mac OS X 10.10.1 since some days without any result.
I also tried to run different installation process, but everytime there are still some errors.
Right now, I'm applying this process:

http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...OpenFOAM_2.3.x

But I still can not install it, cause some errors.

First of all, I can not correctly set mp-llvm-3.5 for llvm:

When I try to set the llvm port with:

I receive this message:

I don't know if it could be the problem, however when I try to install OpenFOAM, I receive this error message (first part of the log.Allwake):

I can not understand what is going on.
I hope that some of you can figure out where is the problem.

Thank you,
Paolo

Hi,

You can try to delete /opt/local/etc/select/llvm/current and run "port select ..." again.

To diagnose your error, please provide output of the following commands:

1. which mpicc
2. mpicc --version
3. mpicc --showme
4. export | grep -E '(FOAM_|WM_)'

The last command will expose certain information about OpenFOAM installation location, though according to initial message it is not a concern for you.

Hi,
Thank you very much!!
The first problem is solved, now mp-llvm-3.5 is selected.

This is the answer code for the OF installation:

Thank you again,
Paolo

Something strange happened with OpenMPI installation (either it is Macports "feature", or you have got libopen-pal.6.dylib from elsewhere). Please, post output of

Maybe again (like with llvm) Macports were not able to create correct symlinks cause certain files were already in /usr/local/lib.

There is no answer to the command:

Looks like the "wrong" openmpi package is being selected? From your output:
You might try:
1) Uninstalling the openmpi-mp-fortran package, ie
2) Remove and reset the symlinks, ie:
3) Try compiling again.

it can not be uninstalled:

Even if, the openmpi-mp-fortran port is present:

Moreover, I don't know if it could be the problem, but every time that I reset the terminal, it can not find the sudo port. In order to obtain the sudo port, I have to export the path with this command lines:

Hi,
There is the ports list necessary for OpenFOAM . Maybe it could help in the understanding process.

It is the output of this command:
Thank you

Hi,

As it was my errorneous suggestion I post corrected command variant here also:

This time output should be much shorter.

Hello guys,
As Peter told me I have changed the path, in order to fix it.
Now the new path is:

I hope this is what is expected to be!

Whatever, I runned again the installation process.
And now it takes more time than before, and it gives to me different errors.
There is the first part of the log.Allwmake file.
I hope it can help us to find out the problem.

OpenFOAM-v.2.3.x installation for OSX 10.10 Yosmite
 

Hi guys,
I am trying to set OpenFOAM-v2.3.x on my Mac which is OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite. I am following openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Installation/Mac_OS/OpenFOAM_2.3.x these instructions.

I was trying to select db48.
something went wrong and i got this massage
I think i have similar problem to Petru's problem. How can i fix the problem.

Thank you.
Kaan

Me three
 

OS = 10.10.5

Trying to build 2.3.x based on instructions elsewhere in this forum. This time
around I actually followed the directions as closely as possible. AFAICT I
patched the source correctly. Running in bash. Oh, and OpenFOAM is placed
on a disk with a journaled case-sensitive FS.

I failed to set db48 as default, failed with
"Selecting 'db48' for 'db' failed: The configuration file '/opt/local/etc/select/db/base' could not be opened."
but I am thinking that isn't the cause of my current difficulty.

port select --summary output:

I tried to force feed it /opt/local/lib/libfl.dylib, which contains _yywrap(), and
which has x86_64 architexture. This made no difference. Also "libfl_pic.dylib"

This error keeps me from building. It is the only error to show up, so I assume that it is the same error that prevents me from building some core elements like writeMeshObj and zipUpMesh.


EDIT: Oh, it looks like the code breaks for flex 2.6.0 because the minor version is less than 34. How quaint. I have brutally hacked it, seems to be compiling.

2.3.x upgrade bison and flex
 

Hi,
OSX usually ships with pretty old versions of Bison and Flex (which is where the errors are coming from).

It seems to be a pretty common problem across other applications (not just OpenFOAM), so as a first try, I would suggest installing more up-to-date versions of bison and flex. i.e.:

$ sudo port install bison
$ sudo port install flex

and then sudo port select --set ... as normal for each so that they are used instead of the system versions.

You may need to use the macports installed version of python as well, if you are going to use the bindings.

Anyway, give it a try and let us know how it goes!

Good luck!
Peter

Ironic, then, that it was a too recent version of flex that caused the problem.

Hi Thomas,
Glad it's working!
Would you mind elaborating just a bit on your fix?
Installing OpenFOAM on the Mac can be something of an adventure, so every problem/solution is helpful!
Thanks,
Peter

hack
 

% cd $WM_PROJECT_DIR
% find . -name '*.L' -print

Open all of the above in your fav editor (I use jEdit). Change all instances of
#if YY_FLEX_SUBMINOR_VERSION < 34
to
#if YY_FLEX_SUBMINOR_VERSION < 34 && YY_FLEX_SUBMINOR_VERSION > 0


I did say it was a hack, right? This gets around the SUBMINOR==0 problem with flex 2.6.0, but it's hardly a real solution. A real solution, however, would require knowing that YY_FLEX_MINOR_VERSION and YY_FLEX_MAJOR_VERSION are defined, which is beyond me since I do not have a clue about the build system in use here.
