Hi Robm,

Thanks for your quick reply.
I checked my typeinfo file and I have the exact same lines as you. Which lines shall I try to delete?

Kind regards

None. This file shouldn't be modified if you're not a member of the gcc-dev-team. I don't have gcc46, but in my gcc47 and gcc45 the line the compiler complains about in your examle (line 42) is different, so I can't say what the problem is. Anyway. As this seems to be a problem of the compilation it's be useful to see the compiler call. Go to the solver-directory with

cd $FOAM_SOLVERS/multiphase/multiphaseEulerFoam

and there compile with

wmake

Then copy the start of the output here (the whole if it is not too much)

Hi Bernhard,
Please find below the output error from wmake in multiphaseEulerFoam:

Kind regards.

You changed your system in the mean time, right? Because now it doesn't find the compiler at all (and your first posting indicated that there was something wrong with your gcc 4.6 from MacPorts). Have you removed that compiler from MacPorts or is MacPorts (/opt/local/bin) not in your PATH?

BTW: please use the CODE-tag for output not the QUOTE. CODE has several advantages. One being that it is not automatically removed when replying

Hi Bernhard,

I started the installation again from scratch to make sure that I had not altered the system.
MacPorts seems to be working fine as I tested it using 'sudo port selfupdate' (Step 1.4 wiki page).
I still have the same error message as I originally posted. However, I had forgotten to run the patch for the ThirdParty. I just did so and I got the following error:
Could this be where the problem originally comes from?

Kind regards.

No.

"I still have the same error message as I originally posted": you mean: you reinstalled gcc-mp-46 (because according to your last post it is missing) and now you have the orignal error message. Could you NOW please post the problem you have when compiling that solver?

Hi Bernhard,

Please find below the start of the output from wmake in multiphaseEulerFoam:

Kind regards.

Aaaah.

/Users/marionjames/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/wchar.h

The file should be named wchar.H ... the compiler used it instead of the system wchar.h and got confused

Either you're not working on a case-sensitive file-system or the OF-sources were extracted (or copied over) such a file-system

Hi Bernhard,

Thanks! I changed the file system to be case sensitive.
However I now have the following errors:

1 - When applying first patch (half way through the output):

I read on earlier posts that Hunk was not a problem, is it correct?

2 - When compiling OpenFOAM

There are plenty of other similar errors for other solvers, the one above is just at the end.

3 - When compiling multiphaseEulerFoam

The error seems to be coming from scalar.H. I checked in lnInclude and indeed only Scalar.H was there. If I try to rename it scalar.H, then it is the same error with vector.H missing and so on... Would you please have any other suggestions?

Kind regards.

The problem is that there is a scalar.H and a Scalar.H. One of them went missing during the adventures of your sources tree on various file-systems.

Hi Bernhard,

I downloaded the tar source pack for OpenFOAM-2.1.1 from http://openfoam.org/download/source.php. Then, I just extracted it and checked in src/OpenFOAM/lnlnclude and there is only Scalar.H is the folder.
There isn't much I can do about that... Is there somewhere else I can download the source pack from?
Kind regards.

You're extracting it where? In the Downloads-Folder? That is probably on a case-insensitive filesystem and the scalar gets lost. Check the tar with

tar tzf OpenFOAM_blabla.tgz | grep -i scalar.H

you will see that both files are there

Hi Bernhard,
Indeed I was extracting the Download folder. The compilation of OpenFOAM seemed to have worked just fine now, many thanks!

However, I still can't use it...

I added the following line in the ~/.bashrc
when I type in: of211, I get the error:
Kind regards.

Your name is marionjames? (otherwise modify the example accordingly). Have a look with

ls /Users/marionjames/OpenFOAM-2.1.dmg $HOME/OpenFOAM

which of the two relevant objects is missing (I don't use that alias as the first thing I do with a new Mac is repartition to have case-sensitve partition for OF. So that is all the help I can give you there)

Hi Bernhard,

Although I had made an error with the name of the disk image (OpenFOAM-v2.1), the first subject is still missing. Maybe the following lines will help... Otherwise thank you very much with all your help, it is very much appreciated.

Kind regards.

I think there is a mixup of two sets of instructions. Usually hdiutil mounts an image into /Volumes. That's why you have the symbolic link OpenFOAM in your $HOME. The alias you mentioned mounts it onto the path specified by -mountpoint ... which is a symbolic link ... to a directory that is not yet there. So I think for that alias to work you've got to remove the symlink and create a directory of the same name ... or remove the mountpoint-option from the alias

Thanks! I can now run a case, except I still can't post-process in Paraview.
In the openfoam wiki page, it says to add the two following lines in the ~/. alias file but I don't have this file.

Shall I add it to the OpenFOAM bashrc or create the alias file?

Kind regards.

The exact path depends on the version of paraview you have installed. Best try on the command line with "/Applications/Paraview<tab>" (<tab> means "use the path-completion of the shell)

BTW: when entering code-snipplets use the CODE-tag not QUOTE

Sure, I changed the path to:

but the question is where to add these lines as I can't find the ~/.alias file?

Kind regards.

32-bit Mac Support?
 

Has anyone tried to follow the instructions/recommends in this post and the Wiki install guide for compiling 2.1.1 on a 32-bit Mac? I'm running 10.6.8 but on old-ish hardware. I followed all the instructions, but also changed the line 'export WM_ARCH_OPTION=64' to 32 in the bashrc file. In the end, the compilation failed. That seemed to be the only obvious place where 32-bit architecture is referenced, although when installing the patches there seemed to be many "intel64gcc" messages flash across my screen.

I'm new to OpenFOAM and this is my first attempt at installing OpenFOAM on my Mac, so I apologize if this is basic knowledge that has been covered elsewhere. Thanks!
