Hi there,


i'm trying to install OpenFoam via minGW on Windows 10 (Version v2012).

The installation works but when i now want to run the first blockmesh command in the cavity tutorial i get the following error:
"$ blockmesh
D:/run/v2012/msys64/home/ofuser/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v2012/platforms/win64MingwDPInt32Opt/bin/blockmesh.exe: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-6.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
Both blockmesh.exe and libstdc++-6.dll exist in the folder.


i found this thread: error while loading shared libraries which seams to face the same error but it didn't really help because i'm not trying to install a second version and therefore my .bashrc looks different.

The .bashrc -File i'm looking into is located here: D:\run\v2012\msys64\home\ofuser\OpenFOAM\OpenFOAM-v2012\etc while D:\run is the folder where i installed OpenFoam.

Is this right? I found some more .bashrc Files in e.g. in D:\run\v2012\msys64\home\ofuser


I hope that anybody can help me. Please let me know if you need any further information.


Best regards
Anna

Did a quick check and was told that this was indirectly related to MS-MPI. Not really sure what that means, but would make sense to followup on develop.openfoam.com and tag @pawan on it. He doesn't follow things on this forum, but would be the best source of information.

Hi, thank you very much for your answer. I already found the problem and it indeed had to do with the MS MPI.
First thing: I'm not the administrator on the computer i'm working on and when i just installed Min GW via double-click it didn't even ask me to install MS-MPI.

So i uninstalled it and reinstalled it via right-click and "install as administrator" and installed MS-MPI (which it recommended now) and it works.

The only thing i don't understand is why it didn't ask me to install MPI in the first place. Might be an issue with the rights or firewall.

Thread is closed for me then.
