I see. I did miss the dot. Thanks for pointing it out.
Now when I include it I get the error which i mentioned earlier

Any idea what is the problem now

Quick answer: The latest OpenFOAM User Guide is targeting OpenFOAM version 4. For OpenFOAM 3.0, you need to use this command instead:
For more details on the change from 3.0 to 4.0, see the first comment on this bug report: http://bugs.openfoam.org/view.php?id=2149#c6527

problem in installing openfoam 3.0.1 in ubuntu16.04
 

I couldn't understand the log.make file. It's showing error detected. Can anyone help me out here?

thanks and regards

Quick answer: The error message is this:
This either happened due to insufficient RAM or possibly due to a hardware issue.

If it was due to the lack of RAM, then please run the following commands:
The first one will tell you how much RAM your machine has available and the second one will tell you how many cores the machine has got, e.g:
In this example, it has 4 cores.

It needs around 1 to 2 GB of RAM per core. If your machine only has 4GB of RAM, then you can only use 2 or 3 cores to build OpenFOAM.

Hi wyldckat,
Thanks for replying...
My machine has 8GB RAM. So how can I solve the issue?

You didn't answer my other questions...

Anyway, there are two possible solutions I can think of:

1. Ignore the build error and run the Allwmake command one again, in hope that the next attempt will work as intended.
2. From the log file, I can see this: "linux64GccDPInt64Opt" - which means that you are building with 64-bit labels. If you only have 8GB of RAM, you should not be using the "WM_LABEL_SIZE=64" option, unless you have access to some other machine that has 512GB of RAM or way more than that.

Hi bruno,

my system has
Architecture: x86_64
CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit
CPU(s): 4
On-line CPU(s) list: 0-3
Thread(s) per core: 2
Core(s) per socket: 2
Socket(s): 1
NUMA node(s): 1
CPU family: 6
I followed the wiki page completely and as per the instructions only i followed the commands.

Quick answer: OK, your machine have 2 real cores and 2 threads per core... if you are following the instructions given here: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...u#Ubuntu_16.04 - then please try running with only 3 threads, like this:
Hopefully the compiler will be able to build properly past the problematic location, by having a few more free resources.

Hi Bruno,
I tried to do everything fresh again from the start including the changes you said.The log.makePV file is showing segmentation fault.
regards

Sorry for the late reply. Something really strange is going on in your machine. I strongly suggest you do some system check ups, for example as instructed here: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/H...and_CPU_are_OK

Hi everyone,

I followed https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...u#Ubuntu_16.04 , for installation of OpenFoam on Ubuntu 16.04

I failed at step 10

For building ParaView with Python and MPI, it depends on whether you have installed the i686 or x86_64 architecture of Ubuntu. To check this, run:
uname -m

#note, im running on x86_64

For x86_64:
#this will take a while... somewhere between 30 minutes to 2 hours or more
./makeParaView4 -python -mpi -python-lib /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1.0 > log.makePV 2>&1

I failed here,

when i entered the command ' ./makeParaView4 -python -mpi -python-lib /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1.0 > log.makePV 2>&1 '

my entire screen froze and log me out of ubuntu

Anyone has any idea , any input much appreciated

EDIT: I adjusted the amount of allocated memory, and it seems to solve the problem
