When I log on the system, the environment variables are all correct.

When I issue a which blockMesh, for instance, it returns the correct directory.

But when I submit through the queueing system, I got "command not found" msgs, and when I include "which blockMesh" in the script to be submitted, it returns nothing (no command).

As I am not experienced in clusters (this one is a beowulf) with queues, I am wondering if this is some common and easy problem and if anyone can help me...

Note: I am not allowed to log onto the nodes and run an application from there...

Thanks a lot,
luiz

ok, so you are standing in $HO
 

ok, so you are standing in $HOME according to pwd.

is your GL3 directory located in $HOME?

also i would add #!/bin/tcsh (or csh or bash...)
on the first line of the script (might help)

Sorry that was an old log. Even when I was (correctly) on the .../tutorials/oodles dir, the message was the same. (And I did have #!/bin/bashrc in my script).

I tried to execute blockMesh from the node (avoiding qsub) and it issued these msgs:

Do you have any clue? Apparently gcc is pointing to the correct location.

your linux version on the clus
 

your linux version on the cluster is too old, which version is it?

You need to recompile all of the source on the cluster. Submit the Allwmake script.

Sounds like you first need to
 

Sounds like you first need to compile gcc for your os version.

Information on how to do that should be somewhere on the site.
(we do:
./configure --prefix=/usr/tmp/gcc-3.4.3 --enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-shared --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-checking --with-system-zlib)

Yes and you will need to recom
 

Yes and you will need to recompile everything else too.

But now your in a tight spot, how will you do the post-processing?

I think you need to have two binary-versions on for the old cluster and one for the new workstation.

I tried to compile gcc and Foam (with Allwmake), but it still complains about GLIBC-2.3.2.

Apparently gcc was installed with no problem, but ./Allwmake outputs a lot of messages like this:

/home/server/luizebs/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.1/src/lam-7.1.1/platforms/linuxOpt/lib/ liblam.so.0: undefined reference to `pthread_cond_signal@GLIBC_2.3.2'

Should I install this library separetely? (I thought it should come with gcc-3.4.3)

Where should it be?

What I have in /lib dir is:

$ ls /lib/libc*
/lib/libc-2.2.5.so /lib/libcap.so.1.10 /lib/libcrypt-2.2.5.so /lib/libcrypt.so.1
/lib/libcap.so /lib/libcom_err.so.2 /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6b /lib/libc.so.6
/lib/libcap.so.1 /lib/libcom_err.so.2.0 /lib/libcrypto.so.2

Thanks a lot again,
Luiz

Also, which version of GLIBC is required by Foam?
I googled about installing GLIBC and got a little scared... So, firstly I would like to be sure it is really the case, rather than anything else that i am missing...

Thanks,

It looks to me like you have s
 

It looks to me like you have some old libraries hanging around.
Did you remove the OpenFoam installation and install just the sources or did you just try to recompile with the old binaries installed?

The glibc-version is not something foam specific, but machine specific.
What it means is that you have compiled your library on a certain system and then running it on an other system where these libraries are missing/different.

Hi Niklas,
I did not remove the OpenFoam installation. I just ran ./Allwmake from top dir.

What exactly should I do?

(which directories should I leave and which ones should I remove before running ./Allwmake?)

If you can provide me more details, since I am not linux expert, I will be very very gratefull...

Thanks a lot again,
luiz
