decomposePar: no available formula for scotch

Dear all,

I somehow screwed my OpenFOAM installation. After installing gnuplot via homebrew I am getting the following problems when mounting the OpenFOAM sparsebundle:

Code:

kates-mbp:~ kateeisenhower$ hdiutil attach -mountpoint $HOME/OpenFOAM OpenFOAM.sparsebundle

/dev/disk2                  GUID_partition_scheme                  

/dev/disk2s1                EFI                                    

/dev/disk2s2                Apple_HFS                              /Users/kateeisenhower/OpenFOAM

kates-mbp:~ kateeisenhower$ source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.1/etc/bashrc

-bash: openmpi_help: command not found

Using paraview in directory /Applications/paraview.app

-bash: boost_help: command not found

Error: No available formula for scotch 

kates-mbp:~ kateeisenhower$ checkMesh -help

Apps like checkMesh are running fine. But if I try the command

Code:

decomposePar

, I'm getting the following output:

Code:

kates-mbp:100mmhkverfeinert_symm kateeisenhower$ decomposePar

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libscotch.dylib

  Referenced from: /Users/kateeisenhower/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.1/platforms/darwinIntel64ClangDPOpt/lib/libscotchDecomp.dylib

  Reason: image not found

Trace/BPT trap: 5

kates-mbp:100mmhkverfeinert_symm kateeisenhower$

Any help would be appreciated!

Best regards,

Kate

This part looks interesting. It seems you somehow corrupted Homebrew's formula repository. Could you...

1. Describe in more details "...installing gnuplot via homebrew...".
2. Post output of "brew doctor".
3. (optional) Describe the reason for gnuplot installation (plot residuals?), maybe there is a way to do it without gnuplot.

Hi Alexey,

and sorry for the late answer.

1. I tried to install it quick and dirty, that's why I can't remember the detailed steps.
2. I'll do it when I have access to this computer again.
3. Yes I am plotting residuals with gunplot (script from this forum) and use it to plot aerodynamic coefficients (custom script).

Best regards,

Kate

Hi,

Though there could be another explanation. You have installed OpenFOAM when Scotch was in homebrew repository, now it is moved to homebrew/science repository. So before installing Scotch you have to do

Code:

$ brew tap homebrew/science

Though it is rather strange that you have all these "command not found" errors. Did you always have them?

Hi,

thanks, I will try this. No, previously I didn't get this kind of error.

Hi Alexey,

here´s the output of brew doctor (attached file). Please notice that I am going to sell this MacBook anyhow. So it doesn't matter anymore. Of course if you want me to test anything because you are interested in these kind of problems, I can do that.

Best regards,

Kate

Hi,

Well, you have "mixed" Homebrew and Macports, this coctail can lead to all sorts of strange behaviour.

Thank you for the brew doctor output and we can close this thread with conclusion "Do not install Macport and Homebrew (unless you know what you are doing) since they both install symlinks in /usr/local/{bin, include, lib, share} folders and this can lead to VERY strange results."
