Upgrading to 1.5-dev
 

After much troubleshooting, everything went fine, except now buildParaView3.3-cvs gives me this:

*** Error: Unable to determine path to python library.
Please set the variable PYTHON_LIBRARY to the full
path to (and including) libpython, or deactivate
python support by setting INCLUDE_PYTHON=OFF

I ran this command before and this didn't happen. Does anyone know what is happening here? I've since installed python2.5-dev, python2.5-dbg and python2.5... I've installed the libvtk5, libvtk5-dev packages as well. I've tried setting PYTHON_LIBRARY to /usr/include/python2.5 (and exporting it, using bashrc), and I've tried setting INCLUDE_PTYHON=OFF, but I can't seem to do anything.

Suggestions would be appreciated.

Found it...
 

There was a bug in the 1.5-dev buildParaView3.3-cvs script, as well as in the bashrc script under OpenFOAM-1.5-dev/etc/apps/paraview3. See below:

buildParaView3.3-cvs: (lines 42-50)
VERBOSE=OFF
INCLUDE_MPI=OFF
MPI_MAX_PROCS=32
#INCLUDE_PYTHON=OFF
INCLUDE_PYTHON=ON
PYTHON_LIBRARY="/usr/lib64/libpython2.5.so.1.0"
PYTHON_LIBRARY=""
INCLUDE_MESA=OFF

Comment out the second last line. Not sure why it's there.

OpenFOAM-1.5-dev/etc/apps/paraview3/bashrc: (line 45)
export ParaView_INST_DIR=$WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/ParaView-$ParaView_VERSION

Remove the `-`. i.e. change to:
export ParaView_INST_DIR=$WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/ParaView$ParaView_VERSION

I'll be repeating this under 'bugs'.

Could you post the process to upgrading since 1.5 to 1.5dev, Please?
I have the caelinux 2009 version of OpenFoam (1.5), but I would need the 1.5 dev.

Thank you very much.

There are a number of posts out there where people describe in various detail the steps they took, but I didn't exactly follow any of them, as they weren't 100% relevant. But I used them to get ideas.

I found the source code posted at:

http://powerlab.fsb.hr/ped/kturbo/OpenFOAM/release/

Here's one of the posts I referred to:

You need to make sure the environment variables are set correctly... I can't seem to find the page I used to guide me through that.

To debug the compiling problems, I editted the ./Allwmake files, and went through them line by line to trace down the problems.

Hopefully you won't have the problems I did!
