I have download the linux 32bit version and unpack them in the correct directory in my home. I've tried the 64 bit version (i've an AMD64) but the output is the same. I'm on Archlinux 64bit. I hope
you solve me this problem: i must use openfoam for
my thesis.
Here is the output of foamInstallationTest:

First, for 64 bit set the WM_64 env variable in ~/.bashrc to something say 'on'. i.e.

export WM_64=on

Next, install openssh. OpenFoam needs this for parallel runs.

Make sure that gcc,paraview and java are located in a directory called linux64 not just linux.

[msrinath80]

" error: expected `}' at end of input "

suggests that there is a syntax issue with your blockMeshDict. Please check it again. You seem to be missing a '}' somewhere.

[msrinath80]

Oops, hold on. I just realized that this has nothing to do with blockMeshDict. Why are you trying to build the mesh utilities anyway?

[marhamat]

Thanks alot Srinath

If not,so what i mus do?
sorry for this question.

[msrinath80]

Are you building OpenFOAM from scratch?

[marhamat]

I have used OF-1.3 & linux 32bit version before.
But now i want to try OF-1.4.1 64bit version
on new system.
So after unpacking the files i used ./Allwmake for OF installation according to readme.

[msrinath80]

Not necessary. If you download the 64 bit binary packs you can directly start using OpenFOAM. Please do not rebuild the distribution unless it is absolutely necessary. It is non-trivial. In most cases, all you will need to build are some custom utilities and customized solvers. This can be done using the binary distribution.

[marhamat]

Thanks Srinath

[msrinath80]

You have not sourced the OpenFOAM bashrc properly.

Add the following lines to /home/hydrolab/.bashrc

# Set 64 option to true for OpenFOAM
export WM_64=on

# Add OpenFOAM bashrc settings
. $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4.1/.OpenFOAM-1.4.1/bashrc

And please make sure that the OpenFOAM/linux64 directory exists and has the following folders in it:

1. gcc-4.2.1
2. j2sdk1.4.2_05
3. paraview-2.4.4

These packages can be obtained from the OpenFOAM download page.

[marhamat]

Thanks again
I didn't set 64 option true for OpenFOAM

[msrinath80]

Apparently you are having the same problem as Pablo in the following thread:

http://www.cfd-online.com/OpenFOAM_D...es/1/4492.html

Please go to ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4.1/applications/utilities/preProcessing/FoamX and execute ./Allwmake there. That should rebuild FoamX.

[marhamat]

FoamX is up to date ,But nothing changes. )-:

[msrinath80]

Sorry I cannot help you further. Please search the Preprocessing/FoamX forum and see if you can find some solution to your problem.

Just for fun,

What is the output of foamInstallationTest once your OpenFOAM setup is sourced?

What is the result of the following command:

which java

Martin

[marhamat]

Thanks again Srinath
The output of foamInstallationTest :

Base configuration ok.

Critical systems ok.


hydrolab@linux-zah4:~> which java
/home/hydrolab/OpenFOAM/linuxAMD64/j2sdk1.4.2_05/bin/java

Did anybody test OF-1.4.1 0n OpenSUSE-10.3?

With kind regards
Marhamat

[alberto]

I'm using it on 32 bit successfully without recompiling it, and it works.

OpenSUSE 10.3 comes with gcc 4.2.1, which is the same version provided with OpenFOAM 1.4.1.

You can use the JVM installed on the system by setting JAVA_HOME to

- 32 bit: /usr/lib/jvm/java
- 64 bit: /usr/lib64/jvm/java

About java on opensuse 10.3, pay attention to the fact that the last patch (17 or 23 october) caused an issue with symbolic links. The fix is reported here: http://dev-loki.blogspot.com/2007/10...-opensuse.html

I'll try to recompile it, but it should work out of the box, being the compiler the same.

With kind regards,
Alberto

[lakeat]

Marhamat,

Glad to know you here! But i am just to beginner of OF
Well, my opinion is not to use FoamX!
Sorry to give you such suggestion.

I think I can do most of the jobs without FoamX, to fix FoamX is just a time-consuming task for me, as I can remember, it failed to work for some net-setting reason, so try to figure it out, and the net-setting is not just a matter of OpenFOAM itself, it is also related to your machine, eg, I am using Fedora, not OpenSUSE 10 as used by the founder of OpenFOAM, I had to install some thing more for the system.

After one month or two try to use FoamX....
Don't be disturbed by the FoamX, if you wantto work out your thesis, just make sure blockMesh & icoFoam and paraview to work. concerning foamInstallationTest, I dont use them any more.
so, move on...


Best wishes,
Daniel
