Hello, I m having problem with installation of openfoam 1.7.1 on ubuntu 16.04. I know that is the older version of openfoam but still i need it. I tried to install it on the ubuntu 10.04 LTS but since the older versions of ubuntu are not supported any more it wont install without updates. Any help would be appreciated.

Greetings to all!
I started working on this last weekend and today I've finally managed to get it all built and working. The requested instructions for installing OpenFOAM 1.7.1 on Ubuntu 16.04 are now on the wiki: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...u#Ubuntu_16.04 Best regards, Bruno

Bruno,
I am having errors compiling gcc-4.5.2. The log is attached as a zip file. I followed all the instructions without exception. Looking to your help and troubleshooting for this. Thanks |

Greetings Vishal,
I don't know if you've managed to solve this problem or not. After a quick research, it looks like using "MISSING=texinfo" in the configure call should fix this issue... So if you load the OpenFOAM 1.7.1 environment and run: Code:
cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR sed -i -e 's/\(--disable-multilib \)/\1 MISSING=texinfo/' makeGcc Hopefully this solves the problem. Best regards, Bruno

Greetings rbabhi,
Please follow the instructions given at https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...nFOAM_versions You need to do this so that OpenFOAM 5.0 is not loaded automatically into the terminal environment. You need to be able to load a specific version manually and that wiki page explains how to do that. After you have followed those instructions, you can then start a new terminal and run: Code:
of171 After that, you can continue following from step #8 in the installation instructions at https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...u#Ubuntu_16.04 Best regards, Bruno

Many thanks for your reply wyldckat.
I had followed your suggestions, but even after that it was giving me the same error. Since I am novice at Linux, I am assuming that 1) Somewhere within the command the file locations were selected to be in Code:
/home Code:
/opt So I followed the following hack to make it to work and compile Open a new terminal Code:
cd /OpenFoam sudo cp -a OpenFOAM-1.7.1/. /opt/OpenFOAM-1.7.1/ sudo cp -a ThirdParty-1.7.1/. /opt/ThirdParty-1.7.1/ I understand that this is not the ideal fix, but so far it has worked and I am on Step 10 Code:
./Allwmake > log.make 2>&1 |

Many thanks wyldcka. I do not know why I didn't notice that first.
Everything works perfectly. I have managed to compile a code written on OF 1.7.1, that would not compile on OF 5. However when I start to view the results in paraFoam by inputting Code:
paraFoam I am given the following message Code:
created temporary '2DsuspensionFlowInChannel.OpenFOAM' /opt/OpenFOAM-1.7.1/bin/paraFoam: 139: /opt/OpenFOAM-1.7.1/bin/paraFoam: paraview: not found I was also just wondering, since I have a new version of paraFoam (v5.+) installed, is it possible to only assign only the new paraFoam for postprocessing? Would it be ideal or is there some hidden compatibility issue with different version of OF and PF? |

That's exactly what I have found to work. Many thanks for all your help. Now onto the bigger tasks of learning to use OF.
