I use openFoam-1.6-ext on ubuntu. I installed it using binaries and development packages from the repository. I am trying to compile a new application and I get this error:

/usr/lib/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/label.H:39:19: error: climits: No such file or directory
/usr/lib/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/label.H:40:19: error: cstdlib: No such file or directory

                 from /usr/lib/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/Pstream.H:44,

                 from /usr/lib/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/src/finiteVolume/lnInclude/fvCFD.H:4,

I think I have all required packages installed and my /usr/include/c++/4.4 contains both climits and cstdlib. What is missing here?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

OK. I solved this problem by explicitly pointing gcc to /usr/include/c++/4.4 using -I. It seems that my system cannot locate this default path.

Now I receive this error:

cc1: error: unrecognised debug output level "nu"
make: *** [Make/linux64GccDPOpt/xFoam.o] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
cc1plus: error: unrecognised debug output level "nu"
make: *** [Make/linux64GccDPOpt/tractionDisplacementFvPatchVectorField.o] Error 1

Any Ideas?

The error is solved by a soft link trick to the required include. Now I pass that part but I get this typical error:

/usr/include/c++/4.4/cstddef:51: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘:’ token
/usr/include/c++/4.4/cstddef:52: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘:’ token

Thoughts?

Caused by a stupid mistake. I used .c instead of .C as the extension of my main file.
I leave this note here for future reference of others and myself

Good luck

Hi ZKM,

Sorry, you posted this already some years ago, but what did you mean by "a soft link trick to the required include"?
I have a similar problem when trying to compile an application with wmake: gcc can't find stuff, because for some reason, on my system it's not located in the default search path. I tried to point gcc to the correct path by adding "-I <correct-path>" to Make/options. This seems to work, but it gives me (nearly) exactly the same error you got:

cc1plus: error: unrecognised debug output level "nu"

So I'm really curious to know how you solved this, can you explain?

Thanks in advance,
Sita
