I am trying to install OpenFOAM 1.7.1 on my Fedora 12 64-bit system. I have not been able to install it successfully. I followed the instructions on the OpenFOAM website. The installation runs but has many errors. Here is the last line in the terminal after trying to install:

Code:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lOpenFOAM
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [/home/tony/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.1/applications/bin/linux64GccDPOpt/mixtureAdiabaticFlameT] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/tony/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.1/applications/utilities/thermophysical/mixtureAdiabaticFlameT'
make[1]: *** [mixtureAdiabaticFlameT] Error 2

When I run the "foamInstallationTest" script this is what I get:

Code:

Greetings Tony,

Ah, Fedora... You better try using OpenFOAM 1.7.x (link). If I'm not mistaken, there were some changes after the release of 1.7.1 that enable the building of OpenFOAM in Fedora to be a lot smoother (link to relevant bug report)... Although it was intended for Fedora 13, but you might have updated 12 so much, that it might look more like 13 right now

Additionally, next time you run Allwmake, use:
Code:
./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1
This way you can keep a log of the build process (the first errors are usually the ones that matter ). And for reporting errors here on the forum, it's a lot easier to post the compressed log file... as long as the compressed log file isn't too big for the forum's quota

edit: Did you install the packages mentioned on this post: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post254189 ? On that post you'll find some pearls of wisdom, but the instructions for changing the rules file is no longer needed with OpenFOAM 1.7.1 and 1.7.x.

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,

Thanks for your reply. I think I was having a problem because I had tried to install it before. I erased the files but was still having the problem. What I did was I ran the $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.1/wmake/wcleanAll script and was able to install it afterwards without a problem.

Thanks,

Tony
