Which Linux Distribution are you using and which installation instructions have you followed?

Platform: Linux
OS: Ubuntu
OS version: 13.10

I tried the following commands to install openfoam222 in my machine:

1. VERS=$(lsb_release -cs)
sudo sh -c "echo deb http://www.openfoam.org/download/ubuntu $VERS main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openfoam.list"

2. sudo apt-get update

3. sudo apt-get install openfoam222

Upto this everything is fine.

Then as per the instruction given in the webpage: "http://www.openfoam.org/download/ubuntu.php" I insert the line "source /opt/openfoam222/etc/bashrc" in .bashrc file and refresh the .bashrc file only to get the error message "gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘--showme:link’". As a result, installation is not complete and I can not use openfoam.

I'm guessing that you have more than one MPI toolbox installed in your machine.

To check this, please run the following command and tell us what's the output it gives you:
   ls -l $(which mpicc) /etc/alternatives/mpicc

The command "ls -l $(which mpicc) /etc/alternatives/mpicc" produce the following output:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Nov 4 02:08 /etc/alternatives/mpicc -> /usr/bin/mpicc.mpich2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Jul 12 18:37 /usr/bin/mpicc -> /etc/alternatives/mpicc

There are two ways you can solve this:

1. You can define Open-MPI as the default MPI toolbox, by running:

  sudo update-alternatives --set mpi /usr/lib/openmpi/include


2. Or you can edit the file "/opt/openfoam222/etc/config/settings.sh" and replace "mpicc" with "mpicc.openmpi". This can be done with the following command:

  sudo sed -i -e "s/mpicc/mpicc.openmpi/" /opt/openfoam222/etc/config/settings.sh


@Admins: This isn't the first time I find people that have MPICH2 installed by default in Ubuntu, leading to the problem reported by pinaki.
