OF 1.6 | Ubuntu 9.10 (64bit) | GLIBCXX_3.4.11 not found
 

Hi there,

I'm looking for some advice. I downloaded the newest version of OF-1.6 from http://www.opencfd.co.uk/openfoam/download.html, but that's obvious. Of course I've followed the installation instruction on the website, but I've met following errors:

1) Using command makeParaView, I've got:
Even though it's done, I'm not sure whether everything is all right. But then I tried:

and this gave me finally:

Which is obviously not fine and I can't figured out how to get rid of the problem with GLIBCXX_3.4.11.

Is there any one able to help me a bit?

What do you think? May it be due to the version of gcc?

I have:

Hi Piotr,

It is indeed due to gcc, actually due to some libraries that are probably in your system's gcc, but not updated in openFOAM's gcc. The latter lives in ThirdParty. This can give problems with things like libstdc++.so.6 and its version. You might want to try to compile with your system compiler. For that change the following lines in lines 111-115 of $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5/etc/settings.sh from

into

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

I thought that too, but it didn't worked as you or me could expect. First of all after the change of compiler to the given by the System as you suggested I've got critical error like this from the foamInstallationTest:

Of course I was really curious what will happen later, so I ran the procedure of compilation even though this error appeared. After ./makeParaView I've got following output (actually the most interesting part of it):

As everyone can see here some new errors or not-found infos appeared, so I still don't know where the problem sits?!

That's funny under Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04 mostly I had problem with the right version of Qt :) here with compiler :)

It actually looks like a cmake error

I had some trouble with cmake as well and had to re-install it. Apparently this is a known problem on Ubuntu, as mentioned in this post (do you also have all the other libs installed mentioned in that post?). And in one case that didn't help me either, so I compiled gcc-4.3.1 from source in ThirdParty.

Also, did you have a look at the cookbook discussion?

I'm trying to solve the installation problem on Ubuntu 9.10 64bit as well.

This is what happens when running ./Allwmake

What happend?

Hi gwierink,

I've checked your advice, I mean this one about the cookbook but problem still occurs. I haven't check changing the gcc version to the older one yet, maybe this might be the solution.

I want to know that too :)

Have you installed the mesa and openGL libraries (mesa-common-dev, libqt4-opengl and libqt4-opengl-dev)? And appearantly cmake wants you to set the path in the OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR environment variable in $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6/applications/utilities/postProcessing/graphics/PV3FoamReader/PV3FoamReader.

Have you tried that?

Regards, Gijs

I will give it a try. But set the OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR to what?

So, I found the source of my problem. And there is even quite simple solution for it. The problem is not the lacking of some libraries but wrong linking. So what you need to do is just:

Of course be carefull and check the version of libstdc++.so.6.0.x before typing and put your USER_NAME in the path. Maybe it's worth to say also that before this step I used cookbook mentioned above.

Unfortunately after all, I still can't see anything in paraView ;/ I mean what I can see is Mesh Parts and Volume Fields pointed out, but after clicking Apply there is nothing going on. Just like on the picture: http://www.fotka.pl/duza_fotka.php?f...e=1&album_nr=2
http://www.fotka.pl/duza_fotka.php?f...e=1&album_nr=2

Any new advices?

Maybe you should try to disable the desktop effects of Ubuntu to avoid such problems.

nope, I don't use any desktop effects by default. That's why it's so strange...

The only one thing which is coming to my head now is maybe I use wrong version of Qt?

Do anyone of you know, which is the proper version of Qt for ParaView 3.6.1 under U9.10 ?

Just to answer the question above: My gl.h and glx.h live in /usr/include/nvidia/GL.

Regards,

Gijs

Still no luck on my side. I was trying many things already, I've recompile paraView to the 4.3.5 version as suggested on the OF website I added some new OPENGL libraries, but I can't still see anything in the cavity case. I'm clueless...

I found something strange. Actually I wanted to see one of my older cases that I done on other hardware. And when I ran paraFoam for this I've got some picture of my object, which looks like here:
http://www.fotka.pl/duza_fotka.php?f...e=1&album_nr=2

But it suppose to be the cylindrical shape, since it's kind of a tank/vessel!!!

Maybe I still need some other library. What is even more interesting I've installed OF for windows from http://sourceforge.net/projects/openfoam-mswin/ . And my object looks properly as it should be. The only one problem is that I can't see the whole object due to allocation of memory under windows, but even though I wanna use Ubuntu for my calculations.

What do you think? Do I need some special libraries?

The libraries are installed.
But WHERE do I have to specify this OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR variable?
The location mentioned by you is a directory!

Problem solved thanks to:
http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...-paraview.html

one line can make a change. If you are using Ubuntu with different language support than english use this:
just before paraFoam command.

I think you can set it in $HOME/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty/cmake-2.4.6/platforms/linux64/share/cmake-2.4/Modules/FindOpenGL.cmake. Are you sure you have all the necessary libraries mentioned in this post? But perhaps it is easier to download cmake (I used cmake-2.6.4, although the ThirdParty version is cmake-2.4.6) and recompile it in ThirdParty.

Well, there is no such directory as mentioned by you.

I have installed every library from the post!

Are you sure I have to compile cmake?
I'm sure this will cause trouble ...

Will get back to you!

Hmm, that's strange, I do have that directory. But anyways, I compiled cmake myself, without any problem. I'm sorry, but I'm not sure whether I can really help you further with this ....:o

I didn't have such error, but even though in my case the files you mentioned are located in /usr/include/GL

Anyway my OF is working now :)

Mine too. Don't ask me how I have managed it.

I started over by trying to compile Qt from ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt...-4.3.5.tar.bz2.

While compiling I was deleting the OpenFOAM-directorys and unpacking the OpenFOAM-files a second time.

The compilation of Qt is still running, but now ParaView is working...
Very strange, but I'm happy with it!

Maybe the compilation process of Qt fixed something that was not working beforehand.

In my case the following additional steps were required to make paraFoam work.

1) replace ThirdParty libstdc++ with ubuntu's:
cd ~/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.6/gcc-4.3.3/platforms/linux64/lib64
mv libstdc++.so libstdc++.so.orig
mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.orig
ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.13 libstdc++.so
ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.13 libstdc++.so.6

2) install qt4-dev-tools using synaptic package manager (together with dependencies)

3) install latest nvidia driver (to install OpenGL with GLX extensions)

4) recompile ParaView and PV3FoamReader
cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR
rm -rf paraview-3.6.1/platforms
./makeParaView
cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV3FoamReader
./Allwclean
./Allwmake
