Hi Claudio,

Mmm... OK, let's take a few steps back. When you were following the instructions, was there anything you modified in the downloaded files? Or more specifically, did you change anything in OpenFOAM's "bashrc" file?

Did you install a version of Open-MPI in your Debian system, or did your system come with one already? Or more specifically, is there any reason why you should use the system's MPI?

You might also want to run the following command to check if a 64bit version of the MPI library exists:
Code:
ls -l /usr/lib64/libmpi*
The quickest solution would be to use the Open-MPI version that comes with OpenFOAM's MPI, but that is up to you.
Building the 32bit version of OpenFOAM is simple, just add to the end of the command line you added in "~/.bashrc" the following value:
Code:
WM_ARCH_OPTION=32
Which makes it look like this:
Code:
source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.0/etc/bashrc WM_ARCH_OPTION=32
The downside of this is that you'll loose some performance, since you wont be taking advantage of the CPU's 64bit capabilities.

Best regards,
Bruno

Ok.
In the OpenFOAM's "bashrc" file I modified just the mpi:

#- MPI implementation:
# WM_MPLIB = SYSTEMOPENMPI | OPENMPI | MPICH | MPICH-GM | HPMPI
# | GAMMA | MPI | QSMPI
#export WM_MPLIB=OPENMPI
export WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI


With the code
ls -l /usr/lib64/libmpi*
I obtain nothing (it doesn't exist).


Now I changed the option

#- Architecture:
# WM_ARCH_OPTION = 32 | 64
export WM_ARCH_OPTION=32

directly in the OpenFOAM's "bashrc" file instead of in the command line like you suggested, and I launched the ./Allwmake...
It seems to work (at least, I don't see error messages, like before...); for now I can see just some advise like
warning: use of old-style cast
that I don't know what does it mean!

It is compiling, and I don't know how much time it needs.
Anyway, probably the problem was because I installed a 32bit vers of Linux, even having a 64bit architecture on my CPU....if it at the end will complete correctly the installation!!

I think I'll see some results only tomorrow. I hope I can confirm that everything it's ok!! I'll inform you tomorrow morning!


Best regards,
Claudio

Hello again!

I'm really sorry, but it seems that I'm not so lucky with the installation of OF....
I had some problems with my pc and I had to reinstall Linux (Debian squeeze dist), and now I must do the same with OF. But I have new kind of problems.

This is the beginning of my make.log file after ./Allwmake (where I think there is the error, because after this starts the ThirdParty Allwmake) :


Code:
gcc -m64  -Wall -O3   -fPIC dirToString.c -o /home/claudio87/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.0/wmake/platforms/linux64Gcc/dirToString
In file included from /usr/include/features.h:378,
                 from /usr/include/stdio.h:28,
                 from dirToString.c:43:
/usr/include/gnu/stubs.h:9:27: error: gnu/stubs-64.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [/home/claudio87/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.0/wmake/platforms/linux64Gcc/dirToString] Error 1

I have no idea about it!


Here there's also the result of fomIstallationTest:

Hi Claudio,

Did you install the packages mentioned for Ubuntu? Namely run this command:

Hi,
I'm sorry I didn't give you a feedbeck...
Anyway, now it's everything working, thanks.
I tried to reinstall all those packages (even if I did it yet), I restarted my pc, and then the installation worked correctly! In the end, I don't know which was exactly the problem, but now everything seems ok.

Thank you again!

Best regards,
Claudio
