Hi

I have a working OF installation, I have already run several tutorials, created my own analysis cases, so no hassle, I am currently using OF-2.0.1, it is installed in ~ ( /home/alex/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.0.1 )

I have compiled the swak4foam utility set for OF, but when i try to use funkySetFields, it simply is not on path ,

alex@iskandhar:~/OpenFOAM/alex-2.0.1/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/bin$ ls -l

bash: funkySetFields: command not found
alex@iskandhar:~/OpenFOAM/alex-2.0.1/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/bin$


yet when they were compiled, they were correctly placed in its default directories...

my ~/.bashrc contains the relevant entry...


################################################## ########
#### My Stuff
################################################## ########

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/brlcad/bin:/opt/MbDyn/bin:/usr/local/dakota/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/brlcad/lib:/opt/MbDyn/lib:/usr/local/dakota/lib

#. /opt/openfoam171/etc/bashrc
. $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.0.1/etc/bashrc
#. $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5-dev/etc/bashrc

. /opt/intel/bin/compilervars.sh intel64

. /opt/syrthes3.4.2/bin/syrthes.profile



How come funkySetFields cannot be found... ??

Can someone help me on this ?

I think I got a hint about what may be happening :

I have noticed that the path of my utilities is

alex@iskandhar:~/OpenFOAM/alex-2.0.1/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/bin$

while the path of my OF bins and libs is /home/alex/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.0.1/platforms/linux64IccDPOpt/....


Does anyone here thinks this may be the issue...?

Solved my problem ... stupid me ROTFLMAO

I renamed the /home/alex///home/alex/OpenFOAM/alex-2.0.1/platforms/linux64IccDPOpt/ to /home/alex/OpenFOAM/alex-2.0.1/platforms/linux64IccDPOpt/... issue fixed ...


Now, how come in an Intel compiled OF version, my utilities land in a Gcc platform folder...??

Hi Alex,

Possibly you are using different shell terminals, where one of them is using Gcc and the other one is using Icc. To be certain of this and since you're running OpenFOAM 2.0, run wmSET to refresh the OpenFOAM environment in the respective terminal window/terminal.
Before and after that, run:
Code:
echo $WM_COMPILER
The command above will show you the currently active compiler.

Here are a few tips about this issue: Advanced tips for working with the OpenFOAM shell environment
It's still far from being complete, but it should give you a bit of insight on the whole "OpenFOAM environment" business

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi

Thks for your reply

alex@iskandhar:~/buildfactory/ngen/comb$ echo $WM_COMPILER
Icc
alex@iskandhar:~/buildfactory/ngen/comb$

My compiler was set up in .../etc/bashrc, prior to compiling OF...

So my utilities should have been set to be compiled with Icc, and i believe they have been... or else, calling any one of them would have thrown a linking error about unressoved symbols, in case the utilities might have been compiled with gcc...

happened the same when i compiled Spooles with Gcc and tried to link with calculix compiled with Ifort/icc... so i believe that my utilities/libs have been built with Icc, same way OF has, now, how come are they launched into that folder... ?
