Hello!

I am starting using Linux SO, so I have a problem during the installation of OpenFOAM 1.5.

Below are the errors:

Third party software

So, please, in this case what can I do?

Hi Daniel,

The error message says you do not have any gcc c++ compiler:

WARNING: gcc version does not match gcc supplied with this release of OpenFOAM 

         Supplied version: 4.3.1                                               

         User version    :                                                     

         Minimum required: 4.2.0

What linux distribution do you use? In Fedora you can install it with

yum install gcc gcc-c++

Or install gcc with the package manager, Synaptic in Ubuntu.

Thanks the relply Gijsbert!

Unfortunatelly, I am using Mandriva One Linux Ditstribution so the line comands in the most part of the Forum doesn't work in my linux.

Is there a way to install Gcc compiler on Mandriva or I must install Ubuntu Linux?

Hi Daniel,

You should be able to install gcc on any linux system, although there may be small differences between distributions. Mandriva has a package manager, where you can just type "gcc" and it will install it with dependencies. Via the command line the following command should work (but I must admit I am not very familiar with Mandriva ):

urpmi gcc

or maybe like this:

urpmi gcc gcc-c++

Probably you have to do this in root. Hope this helps.

Regards, Gijsbert

[Daniel Pilatti]

Thanks Gijsbert!

I will try to execute the code that you have wrote.

Case it doesn't work, i will install another distribution of linux!

Well,

The problem whith GCC compiler continuous in my pc. The "foamInstallationTest" don't recognize that the Linux (Ubuntu and Mandriva, in my case) has the GCC compiler activated.

Hi Daniel,
The foamInstallationTest says that OpenFoam is waiting for gcc executable file in the cited path " /home/daniel/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/gcc-4.3.1/platforms/linux/bin/gcc", Can you see the gcc executable file in the cited path?

Martin

[Daniel Pilatti]

that's it Martin!

Does not exist the directory /home/.../linux/bin/gcc, but exist /home/.../linux64/bin/gcc.
So, in /OpenFOAM/bashrc archive I found the information I have to change.
But I still have 1 Fatal error -> No remote shell available.
And 1 Critical Error -> gcc ...figure
WARNING: Conflicting installations:
OpenFOAM settings : /bin/gcc
current path : /usr/bin/gcc
CRITICAL ERROR

Hi Daniel,
Is your machine 64 bits? I ask that because you say that .../linux64/.. folder exists.
Regarding gcc critical error, OF is waiting for gcc executable file in /bin/ folder and you have it at /usr/bin/, I think you should modify the path in /OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4.1/.bashrc .
The remote shell problem might be due to ssh program. Have you installed it?

Martin.

[Daniel Pilatti]

Martin,

I'm going to proceed the changes that you have proposed.
And answering your question: Yes, my machine is 64bits.
And you are wright...yes, I have to reinstall the remote shell, using synaptic packages.
Thank You.

[Daniel Pilatti]

So,

If help for someone:
I solved the second critical error in my installation:
I have just added a single comand in line 77 of the OF bashrc file:
"export WM_COMPILER_DIR=/usr"
And I solved the remote shell problem, by reinstalling the ssh in the synaptics packages.

Now the foamInstallationTest shows me no error!

Thanks For All!
