All due to the lack of libPstream.so, which is provided in the ThirdParty binary package, as I said before :-)

Btw, are you on openSUSE 32 or 64 bit?

Best,

I am running a 32 bit distribution.

What do you mean with "installed"? I simply took the files and I put them into the ThirdParty folder. Have I to do something else?

However, yes, libPstream.so is in /home/Sam/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5.x/lib/linuxGccDPOpt/openmpi-1.2.6. It exists, it is in there. How it is possible that libOpenFOAM dows not see it?

OK. I have just recompiled 1.5.x on my system after an update and it works OK.

With installed I meant "put the ThirdParty directory into the ~/OpenFOAM directory.

This

looks weird. I checked what

ldd $FOAM_LIBBIN/libOpenFOAM.so

gives to me, and the answer was (I'm using the system compiler):

linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff341fc000)
libPstream.so => /home/alberto/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5.x/lib/linux64GccDPOpt/openmpi-1.2.6/libPstream.so (0x00007ff72b83a000)

Notice that also other libs are taken from the OpenFOAM/ThirdParty sub-directories.

Did you change the configuration file of OpenFOAM sourced in your /home/Sam/.bashrc ?

Best,

Do you mean if I added the line ". $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5.x/etc/bashrc"? I did this through the nano command (as gac said, being not superuser):

nano ~./bashrc

If you did type it this way

it is wrong. The correct syntax is nano ~/.bashrc, being .bashrc a hidden file.

Just to be sure, you have to do everything I said as your user (Sam), and not as root, as correctly pointed out by gac.

I meant if you edited $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5.x/etc/bashrc or /home/Sam/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5.x/etc/settings.sh in some way.

P.S. If you have time, we can talk directly on #openfoam-irc on irc.freenode.net servers, or you can add me to your MSN or Skype.

Best,

I added you to MSN.

I'm connected (alberto_passalacqua@hotmail.it) but I don't see you.

Edit: Sorry, there was a typo in the address in the profile. Not it is fixed.

Best,

I did it!

Alberto helped me very much and I have to thank him a lot. Thanks to him I understood that I was performing several mistakes:
- installation and bash modifications has to be done not as root;
- download of the git repository has to be done in order to have to latest version;
- unzip of the two thirdparty packages has to performed in the same folder, in order to let them to make a single result in a single folder.
Moreover, beyond these instructions he gave me, I discovered that some files from the binary pack (OpenFOAM 1.5) have to be taken and inserted within the 1.5.x version. I refer to:
- several applications/bin/linuxGccDPOpt files;
- several lib/linuxGccDPOpt files;
- the file wmkdep inserted in the folder wmake/rules/linuxGcc.
When I didn't inserted them yet, I was not able to run the tutorial and foamInstallationTest told me that a CRITICAL ERROR in icoFoam installation was present. Now (after this modification and the compilation of ParaView and OpenFOAM), foamInstallationTest is perfect and I am finally able to perform the tutorial about cavity.

foamInstallationTest log:

What I see after typing the three tutorial command lines:

http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/att...1&d=1240904217

Click Apply ;-)

The case is not visible, as shown by the "eye" next to the name "cavity.OpenFOAM".

Hi Alberto,
actually i have the same problem as above. The case is not visible. Especially in my case i have no chance to click "Apply" which is always grey.
How can i correct it?

Best Regards
Hongyi

Results can't be seen in ParaFoam
 

Hi Alberto,
as you said, the case is not visible. Using FoamToVTK and starting paraview, everything can be seen.

What is false?
Please help me! Since last week i have concentrated myself on compiling OF-1.5.x. Till now the paraFoam does not work rightly.

Best Regards
Hongyi

Did you recompile ParaView and the reader using your system Qt library?

If so, I don't know why it doesn't work. It is working smoothly here on openSUSE 11.1 64 bit.

Best,
