Summary0003544: cmake error (“-lsocket not found”) for Paraview 5.6.3 from OpenFOAM 8 installation on linux
DescriptionHello,
For one of our users I have to install OpenFOAM-8 on a linux cluster running centOS 7.8. This software needs third party’s dependances like Paraview 5.6.3 that are downloaded and installed within OpenFOAM by scripts ( ./makeParaView here for the compilation).
It uses several tools like gcc(10.1 installed), python (3.7.4 installed), cmake (3.18.2 installed), to proceed.
In the output of MakeParaView, the error message is

Determining if the function getsockname exists in the socket failed with the following output:
Change Dir: <DIR>/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-8/build/linux64Gcc/ParaView-5.6.3/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp

gmake: *** [cmTC_63115/fast] Error 2
N.B. : We are not running anything related to BSD or FreeBSD, so I do not understand why I need -lsocket.
The different tools (gcc, cmake, python, …) used here are compiled from source directly on the cluster, no binary installed.

Thank you for your help.
Regards
Guy.
Steps To ReproduceThe compiling environment is set through modules, so
"module load gcc/10.1 python/3.7.4 openmpi/psm2/gcc101/4.0.3 cmake/3.18.2"
for GNU gcc 10.1, Python 3.7.4, OpenMPI 4.0.3, make 3.18.2
(all these tools have been hand compiled)

For OpenFOAM environment I run the script
"source OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-8/etc/bashrc"

I launch the script ./makeParaView
TagsNo tags attached.

Do you have the socket library installed and if not have you tried installing it?

I do not need it and it's included by default in the libc on CentOS. I do not find it apart, so I cant install it even if i want to.

It is not clear why ParaView needs the socket library and this is not under our control as we are not the maintainers of ParaView. Try contacting KitWare for help with this.

This is exactly what people of ParaView told me this afternoon but in the other way.

There is no reference to the socket library in any of our code or build system. If you think there might be an issue with the makeParaView script try building paraview directly. We are not able to reproduce the problem on any of our systems. Alternatively try building an older or newer version of ParaView to see if it suffers from the same problem.

OK, thank you for your messages. I'll try.
