Hi everyone,

I wonder if anyone could help me....I've just downloaded the new OF version 1606 and I'm trying to compile it. Unluckily I got the following error:

It looks like that the compiler cannot find ptscotch.h for some reason.
My libraries/compilers etc are all up to date.

I'm not much of an expert on this sort of things, so I hope to get some help.

Cheers,
Tommaso

Hey Tommaso,

just got the same problem doing the installation on a cluster of the university.

Just got the advise to check whether the "bashrc" file contains the right "standard-Compiler- and MPI-version" which is supposed from the admins.

So i changed the compiler to the "Icc" one by changing the code of the bashrc
"""
#- Compiler:
# WM_COMPILER = Gcc | Gcc45 | Gcc46 | Gcc47 | Gcc48 | Gcc49| Clang | Icc
#######export WM_COMPILER=Gcc
export WM_COMPILER=Icc
"""

and the MPI-Version to "SYSTEMOPENMPI"
"""
export WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI
"""

The installation is running now since 3 hours and didn't crash like the last times. Fingers crossed it runs through all the steps...

I hope that may help you.

Regards

Stefan

Hello,

the installation failed also, again at the ptscotch.h file.

I will talk to the admins and let you know.

Hello Stephan,

thanks for you reply and sorry for the delay. I had to put the project in the backburner for a while and I resumed it not long ago.

Finally I managed to get everything working just by installing ptscotch with:

sudo apt-get install ptscotch

eveything compiled and now it's working!

Thanks again!

Quick answer: Sorry for the delay in responding to this, but it was only fairly recently that I managed to document the detailed installation steps for installing OpenFOAM+ v1606+ on a few systems: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...AM%2B-v1606%2B

Nonetheless, there is no clear indication in the details you've all provided, in order to diagnose why "ptscotch" is not getting built properly.
For those who are still having problems with this, please run the following commands:

cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR
./Allwmake > log.make 2>&1

gzip < log.make > log.make.gz

Then please attach the file "log.make.gz" to your next post, which will provide the complete output of the attempt at building Scotch and PTScotch.


edit: I forgot to mention that if you downloaded the package "ThirdParty-v1606+.tgz" soon after the release of v1606+, it was updated again a few days later to fix one or two issues with the build scripts. That might have been the origin of the very first reported issue here.

I am having the same problem with OpenFoam16.12. I have attached the error messages from ptscotch.

Scotch & Ptscotch...


I installed scotch/ptscotch myself and then added include & lib directories to the compiler. That worked for me. In my case that meant editing

wmake/rules/linux64Gcc/c++
