Hi all, I'm having a bit of a problem getting paraFoam to work with 1.6-ext.
I followed the build instructions on a fresh Ubuntu 12.04 install (the ones located in /doc/buildInstructions/Ubuntu/12.04) for several 64-bit machines, several times. Each time, the installations go smoothly (no errors) and apart from some warning about different gcc compilers, foamInstallationTest seems to think things are OK. The problem is, whenever I call paraFoam from a case directory (for example, the mixer2D tutorial in icoDyMFoam), it opens with the message: "A reader for '....../mixer2D.OpenFOAM' could not be found. Please choose one:" And when I choose OpenFOAM from the list, it spits out the following after trying to view results: Code:
$ paraFoam created temporary 'mixer2D.OpenFOAM' Read float past end of buffer Read float past end of buffer Read float past end of buffer Read float past end of buffer Warning: In /home/me/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/ThirdParty/rpmBuild/BUILD/ParaView-3.12.0/VTK/IO/vtkOpenFOAMReader.cxx, line 4728 vtkOpenFOAMReaderPrivate (0x27d0aa0): Numbers of faces in faces 2416 and owner 2380 does not match ERROR: In /home/me/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/ThirdParty/rpmBuild/BUILD/ParaView-3.12.0/VTK/Filtering/vtkExecutive.cxx, line 756 vtkPVCompositeDataPipeline (0x1e89f00): Algorithm vtkPOpenFOAMReader(0x2807160) returned failure for request: vtkInformation (0x2a8a790) Debug: Off Modified Time: 133628 Reference Count: 1 Registered Events: (none) Request: REQUEST_DATA FORWARD_DIRECTION: 0 FROM_OUTPUT_PORT: 0 ALGORITHM_AFTER_FORWARD: 1 Any thoughts? |

Greetings Kanuk,
If I'm not mistaken, the fix should be an old one... so I'll quote myself : Quote:
Best regards, Bruno

Hello Bruno,
Thanks very much for your response. I rebuilt the PV3FoamReader as per your suggestion, but that didn't change anything - nor did editing the $WM_PROJECT_DIR/bin/paraFoam file... I have no idea what the problem may be, but I think I'll try and resolve my gcc problem first (start with the easy stuff) by uncommenting the #compilerInstall=OpenFOAM line in etc/settings.sh Hopefully this works... I will report back in a few hours Dave |

So, I tried compiling again the system compilers, but alas paraFoam didn't get built.
It's not the best situation, but I suppose I can live with foamToVTK for now. I was hoping that the build instructions for a stock ubuntu 12.04 would work - but I can't complain. I'll keep trying and post back if I find a solution. |
