System Ubuntu 15.10, Installed the latest Parallel Studio XE (icc 16.0.3, intel MPI 5.1.3). If I use default settings (GCC and Open MPI), there will be no error.

I modified 2 settings:
in $WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc/bashrc

export WM_COMPILER=Icc
export WM_MPLIB=INTELMPI

in $WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc/config/settings.sh I modified the entry

INTELMPI)
export MPI_ARCH_PATH=$I_MPI_ROOT
_foamAddPath $MPI_ARCH_PATH/bin64
_foamAddLib $MPI_ARCH_PATH/lib64
_foamAddMan $MPI_ARCH_PATH/man

And I didn't touch anything else.

Following the steps on https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...u#Ubuntu_14.04 , I can compile ParaView successfully. Also I can execute $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/platforms/linux64Icc/ParaView-4.4.0/bin/paraview

However I can't compile OpenFOAM. In the log file

I don't know why wmake will compile ThirdParty for the second time?
And here's the error:

      #include "ptscotch.h"
                           ^

I found the same error on the internet, but it's OpenFOAM 1.7.1 and there's no solution in the end.

I also had this same issue and spent the better part of the day trying to figure out what was happening. So the issue is that ptscotch is not installed along with scotch. If you look at the Allwmake file in the ThirdParty folder it checks to see if the environment variable FOAM_MPI is defined (i.e it is set to something other than dummy), if not then it skips the ptscotch installation. So i just added

INTELMPI)
export MPI_ARCH_PATH=$I_MPI_ROOT
export FOAM_MPI=mpi
_foamAddPath $MPI_ARCH_PATH/bin64
_foamAddLib $MPI_ARCH_PATH/lib64
_foamAddMan $MPI_ARCH_PATH/man

in $WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc/config/settings.sh
and finally got it to compile !
Hope this helps
