[OpenFOAM.org] 4.0: Problems compiling ParaView on Ubuntu 16.04

RishabhG · September 17, 2016, 23:29

OK. Thanks a a lot
So now I am trying to install OpenFOAM 4.0. I am at the compilation stage. I have a couple of queries. Is it necessary to have ParaView. If yes, could you please provide bit more detailed steps on how to compile it. I tried by first changing directory to folder "/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-4.0" and then typing

Code:

./makeParaView

I recieved

Code:

 ./makeParaView: 36: ./makeParaView: wmakeCheckPwd: not found
Error: Current directory is not $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR
    The environment variables are inconsistent with the installation.
    Check the OpenFOAM entries in your dot-files and source them.

But when I run

Code:

echo $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR

I get

Code:

 /home/rishabh/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-4.0

which is indeed my current directory
Also, I am tried to compile OpenFOAM without ParaView. I type

Code:

 ./Allwmake

which gives me

Code:

./Allwmake: 7: .: Can't open /home/rishabh/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-4.0/wmake/scripts/AllwmakeParseArguments

Quick answer:

I've moved your post from http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...-failed-2.html to a new thread, given the other thread is for OpenFOAM 3.0.1.
