[OpenFOAM.org] Unable to determine IP address from host name "downloads.sourceforge.net"

jamalf64 · October 17, 2015, 12:24

Hi dear friend
During download OpenFoam 2.4 on Ubuntu 15.04 I get this error:

ERROR

The requested URL could not be retrieved

The following error was encountered while trying to retrieve the URL: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pro...0-1_amd64.deb?

Unable to determine IP address from host name downloads.sourceforge.net

The DNS server returned:

Server Failure: The name server was unable to process this query.

This means that the cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL. Check if the address is correct.
Your cache administrator is webmaster.

Also during installation using terminal I get this error:

Err http://www.openfoam.org/download/ubuntu/ vivid/main openfoam240 amd64 0-1
503 Service Unavailable
E: Failed to fetch http://www.openfoam.org/download/ubu..._0-1_amd64.deb 503 Service Unavailable

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

What do I do?

Quick answer: It looks like either you're unable to access the website downloads.sourceforge.net or your internet connection broke when you were trying to download.

Try:

Code:

ping downloads.sourceforge.net

To terminate the application, you will need to hit the key combination Ctrl+C to break the execution.
It should tell you something like this:

Code:

PING downloads.sourceforge.net (216.34.181.59) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from downloads.sourceforge.net (216.34.181.59): icmp_req=1 ttl=242 time=138 ms

If it doesn't, then you will have to download OpenFOAM 2.4.x and build from source code: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...M-2.4.x/Ubuntu

Thank you so much
It works fine.

jamalf64 · October 18, 2015, 05:16

I have another problem now:

I run openfoam correctly but when I write paraFoam code I get this error:

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 install openfoam and paraview using this link:
https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...M-2.4.x/Ubuntu

Quick answer: Please run the following commands:

Code:

cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR
gzip < log.makePV > log.makePV.gz
pwd

The last command will tell you the folder where the file "log.makePV.gz" is located. Please attach the file "log.makePV.gz" in your next post.

I find log.makepv

Something went wrong when you were following the installation instructions. This command:

Code:

cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR

should have worked. The folder it tries to go into is indicated by this command:

Code:

echo $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR

which should tell you the folder location for the "ThirdParty-2.4.x" folder.

Check if the folder exists, by running the following command:

Code:

ls -l ~/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.4.x

OK, run this command:

Code:

source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.4.x/etc/bashrc

And then try again the previous commands.

Here is log.makePV.gz

wyldckat · October 18, 2015, 08:41

No, something went wrong again.
Run the following commands:

Code:

source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.4.x/etc/bashrc
echo $FOAM_INST_DIR
echo $WM_PROJECT_DIR
echo $WM_OPTIONS
echo $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR

These commands should give us a hint at what it is going wrong.

Here you are:

wyldckat · October 18, 2015, 09:01

Now it's working properly? This is very strange... OK, run the following commands:

Code:

source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.4.x/etc/bashrc
cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR
export QT_SELECT=qt4
./makeParaView4 -python -mpi -python-lib /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1.0 > log.makePV 2>&1
gzip < log.makePV > log.makePV_New.gz

Then attach the file "log.makePV_New.gz" in your next post.

Ok, its here

OK, now we are getting somewhere. You need to do again the first 3 steps for installing the packages that are needed: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...u#Ubuntu_15.04
