While trying to install OF 5.x. I am getting following error

common_file_uncompress.c:65:18: fatal error: zlib.h: No such file or directory
 #include "zlib.h"

while running the command

./Allwmake > log.make 2>&1

Attached is the log file containing the error that we receive

We are following the below steps for installing OpenFOAM5.x

https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...7.4_.281708.29

Kindly guide us for installation.

Quick question: Did you run the following command as root?

yum install zlib-devel

because this is what installs the file "zlib.h" that is missing in your system.

Thanks for your reply I could get past zlib

However, I am now stuck at the next command while building Paraview. I use the command:

./makeParaView -mpi -python -qmake $(which qmake-qt4) > log.makePV 2>&1

Following is the error I get:

no qmake-qt4 in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/home/awplab-7920/.local/bin:/home/awplab-7920/bin)

I tried installing qt4 using yum command. But I am not able to do so. Can you suggest what can be the possible options to build paraview

Quick questions:

1. Wait, how did you solve the issue with zlib? Did you install it with yum?
2. And what was the exact error message that you have gotten when you tried to install Qt4?
3. If you are following the instructions from here: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...7.4_.281708.29 - did you really run this command?
   

   yum install zlib-devel libXext-devel libGLU-devel libXt-devel libXrender-devel libXinerama-devel \
   libpng-devel libXrandr-devel libXi-devel libXft-devel libjpeg-turbo-devel libXcursor-devel \
   readline-devel ncurses-devel python python-devel cmake qt-devel qt-assistant \
   mpfr-devel gmp-devel

Answer 1. Yes I installed it using the

yum install zlib-devel

Answer 2. The following the error message I got when installing qt using the following command

yum install qt-devel

Answer 3. Yes I have ran all the commands. These are the commands which I was not successful in compiling (besides the above qt-devel command stated in Answer 2).

yum install libGLU-devel

yum install qt-assistant

No package qt-assistant available. Error: Nothing to do

Kindly let me know what should I do to install these packages

[wyldckat]

Quick answers:

1. The "qt-assistant" package is likely not necessary. I probably didn't notice that it was missing during installation, because everything else had worked without problems.
2. As for the other problem, the package that is breaking things is "libglvnd-1:1.0.1-0.8.git5baa1e5.el7.x86_64"... so I searched online for "git5baa1e5" and found this thread: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/t...th-mesa-libgl/ - which indicates in post #4 there the following:
   

   I was able to install CUDA 10.0 by downloading the latest mesa and libglvnd RPMs from Red Hat.
   
   Describes the mesa vs libglvnd conflict:

   Bug fix issued after RHEL 7.6 release, with updated RPMs:
   
   https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2018:3059

   • I don't know if you can upgrade from RHEL 7.3 to the latest version, but if you can, that would be the simplest solution...

Thanks Bruno.
Updating to RHEL 7.6 solved the problem!!!
I first uninstalled the nvidia drivers which were conflicting, using the command
yum uninstall nvidia


followed by

yum upgrade
yum update
