Hi All,

Did anyone install OpenFOAM-2.4.0 successfully in Ubuntu 18..04?

Instructions for OpenFOAM-2.3.0 are posted in Wiki, but not for OpenFOAM-2.4.0.

In the OpenFOAM-2.4.0 installation Wiki, the latest post is for Ubuntu 16.04, which I tried to follow but did not work for Ubuntu 18.04.

Dear luckyraymond,

why do you need that version in place of a more recent one?

Hi,

Could you elaborate about "I tried to follow but did not work"? At what stage did you fail?

Quick answers:
  1. Following the instructions that were meant for OpenFOAM 2.3.1 on Ubuntu 18.04 from openfoamwiki.net would have worked...
  2. So that's what I've done just now, copy-paste-adapted those instructions to OpenFOAM 2.4.0 on Ubuntu 18.04: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...u#Ubuntu_18.04
@luckyraymond: Please let me know if these instructions work or not.

Hi wyldckat,

Thank you for helping!
I tried your new post. It seems that CGAL version should be fixed to 4.6 instead of 4.3?

Quick answer: Yes, you're correct, I didn't remember that the CGAL version being used had changed. I've corrected the wiki page. Here are the commands you need to run in order to fix this:
Code:
of240
foam
sed -i -e 's/\(cgal_version=\)CGAL-4.6/\1cgal-system/' etc/config/CGAL.sh
of240
Then continue from step #10.

edit: The log file will then indicate this:
Code:
Build CGAL
    optional component was not found
which is fine, because the system's CGAL version is being used instead of 4.6.

Hello Bruno,
If the instructions in "https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Installation/Linux/OpenFOAM-2.4.0/Ubuntu#Ubuntu_18.04" is suitable for OpenFOAM-2.4.0 in Ubuntu_20.04?


I meet the problems and failed. I attach the log file below.

Thanks

OpenFOAM-2.4.0 in now almost 8 years old (was released in 2015) and there have been numerous improvements in compilers and tightening of the standard since then, both of which have necessitated corresponding code changes.
Thus there are a large number of things that would need to be adjusted to get it working with the system compilers on Ubuntu 22.04.

I strongly suggest installing some older Ubuntu version (e.g. 18.04) if you want to use OpenFOAM 2.4.0.
