Installation of Netgen in SuSE Linux 92
Hope it is OK to ask a question about installing Netgen on this OpenFOAM forum.
I have been using Netgen in Windows and OpenFOAM in SuSE 9,2 for a while. Obviously it's not ideal to reboot to switch program, so I have tried to install Netgen in SuSE Linux 9.2, but have run into some problems: In the README.INSTALL it is described to hack the makefile by adding: setenv MACHINE LINUX when running "make", I get the following errormessage: Makefile:4: *** missing separator. Stop. Anyone? Needless to say I'm not very experienced in Linux. Best Regards lars Edvardsen |
Sounds like your makefile got
Sounds like your makefile got 'corrupted'. Did you edit or copy/paste your Makefile under Windows or copy it from Windows? This might cause problems. Just unpack the original sources.
This is what I get: Unix> setenv MACHINE LINUX Unix> make cd libsrc; make make[1]: Entering directory `/home/pinky2/mattijs/pub/ngs44/libsrc' make[2]: Entering directory `/home/pinky2/mattijs/pub/ngs44/libsrc/linalg' .. |

Thanks for reply, Mattijs
I found out that the first problem was that despite I had bash on my computer (SuSE 9,2), I had to use the command "export MACHINE=LINUX" instead of "setenv.... Anyway, I still get error messages. What I have tried to so far according to tips in the REDME.INTALL file is: - Problems with Tcl.init: export TCL_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/tcl8.4 export TK_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/tk8.4 export TIX_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/tix8.1 -which is the versions and location according to my installation.

Sorry to keep nagging, Mattijs, but I think I'm almost there. Installing development packages helped. The error messages has been narrowed down to:

"class mesh;" solved that problem. (I'm afraid I don't know enough about C++ to know how to ad a -fpermissive flag, or what it means) Then it was the thing about right version of the tkInt.h file in the togl directory, wich was fixed. But I still keep getting errormessages, now its: lars@linux:~/ngs44> make gcc -c -I./libsrc/include -I/opt/OpenCASCADE5.2/ros/inc -I./ngsolve/include -Ilibsrc/interface -DOPENGL -O2 -I/usr/include/GL3.5 -DLINUX -DOPENGL -ftemplate-depth-99 -finline-limit=20000 -funroll-loops -DNGSOLVE ngtcltk/demoview.cpp -o ngtcltk/demoview.o ./libsrc/include/../general/array.hpp: In constructor 'netgen::ARRAY<t,>::ARRAY(int) [with T = netgen::InterpolationPoint<netgen::vec<3> > [3], int BASE = 0]': ngtcltk/demoview.hpp:116: instantiated from 'netgen::InterpolationSpline<s>::InterpolationSpli ne(S) [with S = netgen::Vec<3>]' ngtcltk/demoview.cpp:315: instantiated from here ./libsrc/include/../general/array.hpp:155: error: invalid use of undefined type 'class netgen::InterpolationPoint<netgen::vec<3> >' ngtcltk/demoview.hpp:74: error: declaration of 'class netgen::InterpolationPoint<netgen::vec<3> >' make: *** [ngtcltk/demoview.o] Error 1 lars@linux:~/ngs44>116 Still hoping, Lars |
Actually I also had problems i
Actually I also had problems installing netgen on suse so then I installed it on win xp under cygwin. It works fine... You should try that if everything else fails.
How/where did you install Tcl/Tk + Tix + Mesa? In which directories? Did you follow the installation instructions (readme's) and get no errors? As I remember it, I once screwed up the Mesa installation and then I got tired of trying... Also, as I remember it, tcl/tk should be in your path but I also think you can install some of these programs with the suse installation (yast?) program. I think I'll try installing it on suse again later but I agree it's not straightforward. I don't know if it helped you anything but perhaps you should try the cygwin solution. |

Hello, Lars.
I don't know w
Hello, Lars.
I don't know what's wrong with you installation, but today I got netgen running on my home computer after I saw it being installed on another computer by a more experienced linux user. Both systems ran suse 9.3, and I can see that you're almost there since the last problem I had also was with the togl/ directory (the first problems was correctly as Mattijs writes about missing files in /usr/include). Once you get to this problem below which I've now seen 2 times today on 2 different linux pc's: togl/togl.cpp:144: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `Sorry' with no type togl/togl.cpp:144: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `you' with no type togl/togl.cpp:144: error: syntax error before `have' Then you'll have to follow the instructions from the netgen homepage section trouble shooting: Quote:
#elif TK_MAJOR_VERSION==8 && TK_MINOR_VERSION==4 && TK_RELEASE_SERIAL==9 # include "tkInt.h" #else Sorry, you will have to edit togl.c to include the right tkInt.h file #endif Since my version of tk was 8.4.9-9, the program would jump to the "Sorry, you.." and this explains the error since the code has problems with newer versions! The tkInt.h was copied from /usr/include/tkInt.h to current togl-directory and when you then do a "make" again, compilation will take about 15 minutes and you're done. Compiler was gcc (GCC) 4.0.1, no need for -fpermissive or anything else mentioned in this thread. Since I also used: export TCL_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/tcl8.4 export TK_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/tk8.4 export TIX_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/tix8.1 Then our systems must be much alike. Good luck, I think you should start completely from scratch again and don't edit anything else but togl.cpp! I hope this was good news for you... You're actually very close to completing the installation. I think your problem is that you changed something in the other source files... Let me know if this helps. |
Thanks for tips, Martin.

Thanks for tips, Martin.
I'm happy for you fixing the problem on your computer. The only difference I undertand between the two system is that I run suse 9,2 and gcc 3.3.4 instead of suse 9,3 and gcc 4.0.1. Strangly enough I have done quite the same as you, but keep getting the same errormessage as before. I have tried to follow the tip about -fpermissive as well by adding this after CPLUSPLUSFLAGS = in Makefile (not all Makefiles). The errors are still: lars@linux:~/ngs44> make gcc -c -I./libsrc/include -I/opt/OpenCASCADE5.2/ros/inc -I./ngsolve/include -Ilibsrc/interface -DOPENGL -O2 -I/usr/include/GL3.5 -DLINUX -DOPENGL -ftemplate-depth-99 -finline-limit=20000 -funroll-loops -DNGSOLVE ngtcltk/demoview.cpp -o ngtcltk/demoview.o ./libsrc/include/../general/array.hpp: In constructor 'netgen::ARRAY<t,>::ARRAY(int) [with T = netgen::InterpolationPoint<netgen::vec<3> > [3], int BASE = 0]': ngtcltk/demoview.hpp:116: instantiated from 'netgen::InterpolationSpline<s>::InterpolationSpli ne(S) [with S = netgen::Vec<3>]' ngtcltk/demoview.cpp:315: instantiated from here ./libsrc/include/../general/array.hpp:155: error: invalid use of undefined type 'class netgen::InterpolationPoint<netgen::vec<3> >' ngtcltk/demoview.hpp:74: error: declaration of 'class netgen::InterpolationPoint<netgen::vec<3> >' make: *** [ngtcltk/demoview.o] Error 1 lars@linux:~/ngs44>116 Something with 'class netgen' ?

By the way, Martin. Where did
By the way, Martin. Where did you install netgen, in /home/username/ngs44 or /usr/local... and how does the structure look like?
A general question; I understand that when building from sources, it is usually three commands that has to be used: ./configure make make install Have I understood it right as for programs like netgen, where there already exists Makefile, the ./configure command is skipped? |
Hi,
I installed it in /home
Hi,
I installed it in /home/martin/ngs44 since I'm the only linux user on both machines, but I guess on a multiuser system it would be better to place it in /usr/local? Not so important, though (still compiled as root). Actually as I remember it I think I only did "make" and used yast to install the necessary development stuff. I think you need to open yast and install some more devel libraries and don't worry about classes + flags etc. Do you have something named ?-x11-?-devel installed (can't remember the exact name), and also development libraries for tcl/tk + tix? NOTICE: Look for the files in /usr/include if in doubt. Then you'll know whether you need more devel libraries or not. I didn't install mesa this time and only used yast for installing what was missing (didn't grab the files from the netgen download page). I still think you shouldn't change anything but the togl.cpp so I would start all over if I were you. ----- BTW: Anyone got any hints on how to get STEP/IGES import functionality working with netgen? I tried to install OpenCASCADE with java -jar setup.jar (don't remember the exact filename, but the installer just exited). Binary files should be in /opt/? but I can't even start the program...... I then did a "make" in the netgen installation directory again and this time compilation took more than 1 hour, but still I can't import IGES/STEP files on suse 9.3. Anyone, perhaps Mattijs got any hints? |
Fantastic, I finally made it!
Fantastic, I finally made it! The only difference now (as far as I have registered) was that I compiled as root. Thanks for help so far.
...anyway when trying to build the IGES/STEP OpenCascade module, I get the errormessage: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-suse-linux/3.3.4/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lTKIGES collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [ng] Error 1 linux:/home/Lars/ngs44 # ...but then again its stated on the Netgen website that: "At present, only the NETGEN version downloaded via CVS access supports the installation of the OpenCascade kernel." (Anyhow it does work in the windows version) L |

Hi--

Hi--
I ran into the same sorts of problems. The fix was twofold: 1) add the lines 'class Mesh;' and 'class mesh;' to meshtype.hpp. 2) remove the entire tk include mess from 'togl.cpp'. Move the files 'tk.h' from /usr/include and 'tkInt.h', 'tkIntDecls.h' from /usr/include/tk-private/generic. Then add '#include "tkInt.h"' to 'togl.cpp'. This of course assumes you have tk: in FC just type 'yum list | grep tk' to see what's available/installed and 'yum install tk', 'yum install tk-devel' to install them. Do the same for tcl and tix. |
I should add that users with p
I should add that users with powerful computers and/or access to a DVD-R burner can now get netgen and a whole bunch of other powerful cae tools with CAELinux. This is a live DVD/virtual machine distro that has all these awkward installations already done. Plus you can pop it in to any windows box and laugh at your neighbor who paid thousands for codes he can't adapt.

hello,
I see that the thread was dead for years, but just recently I got stuck with netgen compilation... I think that the OS is not a big problem, but to give full info: I use Ubuntu 8.04- the Hardy Heron I tried to compile netgen for some time... The tips presented above were very helpfull (got through the Tcl/Tk and othe features) but after running "make" I get such output: :~/ngs44$ make gcc -c -I./libsrc/include -I/opt/OpenCASCADE5.2/ros/inc -I./ngsolve/include -Ilibsrc/interface -DOPENGL -O2 -I/usr/include/GL3.5 -DLINUX -DOPENGL -ftemplate-depth-99 -finline-limit=20000 -funroll-loops -DNGSOLVE -fpermissive ngtcltk/ngappinit.cpp -o ngtcltk/ngappinit.o In file included from ./libsrc/include/../general/myadt.hpp:31, from ./libsrc/include/myadt.hpp:1, from ./libsrc/include/../meshing/meshing.hpp:4, from ./libsrc/include/meshing.hpp:1, from ngtcltk/ngappinit.cpp:8: ./libsrc/include/../general/symbolta.hpp: In member function 'void netgen::SYMBOLTABLE<t>::Set(const char*, const T&)': ./libsrc/include/../general/symbolta.hpp:138: warning: there are no arguments to 'strlen' that depend on a template parameter, so a declaration of 'strlen' must be available ./libsrc/include/../general/symbolta.hpp:139: warning: there are no arguments to 'strcpy' that depend on a template parameter, so a declaration of 'strcpy' must be available In file included from ./libsrc/include/../general/myadt.hpp:40, from ./libsrc/include/myadt.hpp:1, from ./libsrc/include/../meshing/meshing.hpp:4, from ./libsrc/include/meshing.hpp:1, from ngtcltk/ngappinit.cpp:8: ./libsrc/include/../general/mystring.hpp: In member function 'int netgen::MyStr::Find(char)': ./libsrc/include/../general/mystring.hpp:125: error: 'strchr' was not declared in this scope ./libsrc/include/../general/mystring.hpp: In member function 'int netgen::MyStr::Find(const netgen::MyStr&)': ./libsrc/include/../general/mystring.hpp:131: error: 'strstr' was not declared in this scope ./libsrc/include/../general/mystring.hpp: In member function 'int netgen::MyStr::Find(const char*)': (after that, there are like 20 or 30 similar messages ) I think that the problem is that some includes are not made (like #include <stdio.h> ) but to be honest, I have no idea where to put them... looking foreward for some tips Pawel Sosnowski |
