Dear foamers,
I am trying to compile OpenFOAM 6 from source following the steps in this link:
https://openfoam.org/download/6-source/
I am getting this error: ptscotchDecomp.C:38:14: fatal error: ptscotch.h: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
38 | #include "ptscotch.h"
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~
For moe details, I joined the log files of ./Allwmake for ThirdParty6 and OpenFOAM6.
Any help will be appeciated!

Hi,

I also have the same problem, I tried to install OpenFOAM on a new VM Ubuntu but impossible to do so.

I tried to uninstall multiple times the OpenFOAM and Scotch directory but still not working. Did you find a solution for your problem ?

Have a nice day.

I remember fixing some of those issues quite awhile ago - AFAIK it should work in OpenFOAM-v2012 (www.openfoam.com). If not, please open an issue (develop.openfoam.com).

Hi,
I am also getting this error. I've been dealing with this problem for a long time. Did you solve this problem?
