A library compiling error after upgrading from OpenFOAM 2.2.0 to 2.2.2

Hi Bruno,

I got some new problems in the recent days. I have my OF-2.2.0 on my cluster. Now I need compile 2.2.2 in the same account. I have already compiled the source code and ThirdParty. But when I try to compile some my own libraries I got a error which shows:

make:*** No rule to make target '/home/jaq526/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.2.0/platforms/linux64Gcc45/openmpi-1.6.3/include/mpi.h, needed by 'xxx.dep'. Stop

So， I think there should be something wrong with the environmental variables.
What I did is as follow:
1. cd $WM_MPLIB
it gives me this:
bash: cd:SYSTEMOPENMPI: No such file or directory
2. which mpirun
it gives me like:
/usr/lib64/openmpi/bin/mpirun which is the system mpi
And I also find I cannot use mpirun command to run my case in the older version 2.2.0 too. So I go back to check the bashrc file and redo the source $HOME/.../ step.
But it give me this message:

Cannot open configuration file /home/jaq526/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.2.0/platforms/linux64Gcc45/openmpi-1.6.3/share/openmpi/mpicc-wrapper-data.txt

I really feel confused by this problem...
Do you have any suggestion on this?

I just installed of-2.2.2 on my Linux cluster.
I have some libraries to be compiled. But I got the following error message when I compiled one of them. The message is :

make:*** No rule to make target '/home/jaq526/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.2.0/platforms/linux64Gcc45/openmpi-1.6.3/include/mpi.h', need by 'xxxx.dep' Stop.

I think there should be something wrong with the environmental variables, cause
In the /Make/options file, these two lines are included.
sinclude $(GENERAL_RULES)/mplib$(WM_MPLIB)
sinclude $(RULES)/mplib$(WM_MPLIB)

but the weird thing is why the message give me ThirdParty-2.2.0, actually I don't have ThirdParty-2.2.0 now. Does anyone have idea on this?

Greetings y_jiang,

There are 2 possible problems:

The shell environment variables haven't been updated properly to the new version 2.2.2. Check the contents of the file "~/.bashrc" to see if there are still old references to 2.2.0. Either way, start a new terminal to make sure the environment is clean. For more information of what I'm talking about: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...with_the_Shell
You probably did not perform a clean up of the previous build. For example, if you use:
Code:
```
wmake all
```
to build your library, then you should first do:
Code:
```
wclean all
```

Best regards,
Bruno

Yes Bruno, you are right. Thank you. Cause the environmental variables are not update when I copy from the earlier version. I did wclean the old files in Make and seems the problems fixed.

But the paraview gives me a new trouble today. When I type paraFoam, there a new error which is
error while loading shared libraries:libQtWebKit.so.4
:cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Do you have any suggestion on this?

I recompiled cmake and qt. Now ParaView runs with no problem. Thank you Bruno.
