Problem encountered in installing foam-extend-3.2 to Debian Jessie
 

Hello,

I am new to using foam-extend, and encountered errors during the installation of foam-extend-3.2 with the ./Allwmake utility.

db/IOstreams/Pstreams/IPread.C:29:17: fatal error: mpi.h: No such file or directory

I do not know what to make of this error, as I have mpi.h in the folder /usr/include/openmpi.I have enclosed a snippet with this thread. I would appreciate any inputs or suggestions on this matter.
Thanks!

Did the ThirdParty build correctly? Try

which mpirun

or rebuild third party by hand

Hello,

Yes I see now, it was a problem with the third party build. The issue is I could not install rpm, as I lack administrative privileges. Is there a way around this?

Thank you so much for the input!
