Dear OpenFOAM Users,
I am trying to install OpenFOAM on a x86_64 system running Ubuntu 10.4 with gcc 4.4.3 and I get these messages when I run the OpenFOAM test installation. I would appreciate it if anyone could give me some simple and concise, easy to follow, step by step instructions as I have been pulling my hair out with this for over two days. Thanks in advance. Regards, SDA Third party software ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Software Version Location ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WARNING: gcc version does not match gcc supplied with this release of OpenFOAM Supplied version: 4.3.3 User version : 4.4.3 Minimum required: 4.3.1 gcc 4.4.3 WARNING: Conflicting installations: OpenFOAM settings : /home/saif/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.6.x/gcc-4.3.3/platforms/linux64/bin/gcc current path : /usr/bin/gcc CRITICAL ERROR gzip 1.3.12 /bin/gzip tar 1.22 /bin/tar icoFoam 1.6.x ...penFOAM-1.6.x/applications/bin/linux64GccDPOpt/icoFoam ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Greetings SDA and welcome to the forum,
OpenFOAM 1.6 will not, I repeat, will NOT build with gcc 4.4.3. It was released nearly a year ago (10 months I think) and without some additional tweaks, it will only build with gcc 4.3.x. That is why in the ThirdParty-1.6 folder you have gcc 4.3.3... which by the way, won't build without some patches... The link in my signature has a list of links to threads that can help you build OpenFOAM 1.6 with gcc 4.4.x or building gcc 4.3.3. Anyhow, do you have a specific reason for which you must use OpenFOAM 1.6 and not OpenFOAM 1.6.x? And why not use the pre-built binaries of OpenFOAM 1.6 that OpenCFD has available? Additionally, if you must really use OpenFOAM 1.6, the quickest solution right now for you would be to install Ubuntu 9.04 which has gcc 4.3.3. On the other thread I will explain why we haven't added OpenFOAM 1.6 to the script. Best regards, Bruno

Bruno.,
Thanks for your email. I will check out the links you referred to. In your reply, you said that OpenFOAM 1.6 will not build with gcc 4.4.3 (implying that it will not build with 4.4.x either). But later in your email, you mention links that will presumably allow me to build OpenFOAM 1.6 with gcc 4.4.x or 4.3.3. I am confused. For me at the moment, it makes no difference if I use OpenFOAM 1.6 or 1.6.x. I am relatively new to OpenFOAM and need to get more experience before I can make an informed choice. I would just like to get the software up and running. I am stuck with Ubuntu 10.4 on a 64 bit Xeon based system. I have no problem using the OpenFOAM binaries but they don't run out of the box so to speak and I get the errors that I posted when I run the test installation script. So I am stuck for now. Regards, SDA |

Good luck! And hopefully the installation script me and Fabio have been developing will get you up and running OpenFOAM in a few hours Best regards, Bruno

Hello Saif,
I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to post here the instructions I sent to you a few days ago, in case other users end up with the same problems. So, to all who may wander into this thread, here is what happened: I referred Saif to the script openfoam-ubuntu (http://code.google.com/p/openfoam-ubuntu/) and sent him the following instructions: Quote:
Later on Saif did get it working with these instructions, but had some issues with ParaView not working properly, which likely was due to bad graphic card drivers... which happens on occasion when installing the latest version. Anyhow, this thread will jump to the script's thread, post #82. Best regards, Bruno
