It seems gcc cant find mpfr according to this

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35577

Did you remember to run OF17 before configuring else the path for gmp and mpfr cant be found

You could try with the full path instead of

--with-gmp=$WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/platforms/$WM_ARCH$WM_COMPILER_ARCH/gmp-5.0.1 --with-mpfr=$WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/platforms/$WM_ARCH$WM_COMPILER_ARCH/mpfr-2.4.2

use

--with-gmp=$HOME/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.7.0/platforms/linux/gmp-5.0.1 --with-mpfr=$HOME/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.7.0/platforms/linux/mpfr-2.4.2

Or add gmp and mpfr to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH

I tried

Quote:

../configure --prefix=$WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/platforms/$WM_ARCH$WM_COMPILER_ARCH/gcc-4.4.4 --with-gmp=$WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/platforms/$WM_ARCH$WM_COMPILER_ARCH/gmp-5.0.1 --with-mpfr=$WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/platforms/$WM_ARCH$WM_COMPILER_ARCH/mpfr-2.4.2

and I have some errors:

Plz, Can you help me ?

Greetings phuchuynh,

I can't go into much details about this, so I'll point you to a couple of possibilities:

Do it yourself: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/InstallingGCC - But I don't know if this also applies to Gcc 4.4.4 as well or not.
Use the build scripts I've documented in the past: Automated scripts for building gcc 4.4.x and 4.5.x for using with OpenFOAM 1.7 series
If using OpenFOAM 2.0.* or 2.1.*, you can use the makeGcc script present in the ThirdParty-2.*.* folder.

Best regards,
Bruno

I'm looking into using paraview on my shared cluster. I just want to clarify, your tarball for paraview 3.14 on your sourceforge page runs on OpenMPI not mpich?

Hi, Yes that is correct.

Short tip from me:

centFoam.py script works perfectly, except one has to fix installation path in the etc/bashrc as following:

Code:

###########################################

# USER EDITABLE PART: Changes made here may be lost with the next upgrade

#

# either set $FOAM_INST_DIR before sourcing this file or set

# 'foamInstall' below to where OpenFOAM is installed

#

# Location of the OpenFOAM installation

# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



foamInstall=/home/my_OF_user/centFOAM/$WM_PROJECT

#foamInstall=$HOME/$WM_PROJECT

Cheers,
Alex

Hi Linnemann,

I was reading your posts on OF installation on CentOS and Rocks cluster. I am trying to install CENTFOAM on my cluster using your link "http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/centfoam/index.php?title=Main_Page". However, the version of our CentOS is 4.4, while I see that your installation procedure is for 5.x. Does the procedure still be valid for 4.x operating system. Please let me know.

Thanks

Regards,
Vishal

Greetings to all!

@Vishal: Which version of OpenFOAM are you looking for to install on your CentOS 4.4?

Because AFAIK, CentFOAM only supports CentOS 5.x and 6.x: http://sourceforge.net/projects/centfoam/files/ - and it's unlikely that any of those binaries will work on CentOS 4.x :(

Best regards,
Bruno
