Hello everyone,

I am new to OpenFOAM and linux system. I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 and installing OpeanFOAM3.0+. I've got an error message while executing ./Allwmake. I copy the last bit of the error below.

I'm honestly not sure which CMakeList file I need to update for the path since there were a lot of them. Or maybe there are other solutions to solve this error?

Many Thanks

Hello everyone,

Sorry for post earlier, I managed it by changing the path.

Found the solution to my problem just now

I empathize with you and your problem. Because I asked too about installation on openSUSE. But it seems there is no help here. I think the documentation is old. Not straightforward.

Greetings to all!

Many thanks for posting your solution, or at least a hint on what to do.

I've tested just now building OpenFOAM+ v3.0+ on Ubuntu 16.04 and have documented the procedure here: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...u#Ubuntu_16.04

However, I was not able to reproduce the same error. I suspect that the wrong CMake version was being used, hence the error message that you've gotten. For future reference, using Ubuntu's 16.04 CMake 3.5 seems to work just fine. To double check the version, please run the following commands:

• cmake --version

  which should give:
  

  cmake version 3.5.1

• which cmake

  which should give:
  

  /usr/bin/cmake

@ordinary: Unfortunately it was not possible for me to come to the forums for the past few months and unfortunately very few people have the time and experience needed to try and reproduce the harder installation problems. Fortunately I saw in your other posts that you've managed to solve those issues in the meantime, at least by installing Ubuntu.
Edit: wait... I didn't read the some of your posts properly I'll take a look into them as soon as I can.

Best regards,
Bruno
