| Platform | Linux | OS | OpenSuse | OS Version | 11.4 |
| Summary | 0000501: /download/suse.php for openSUSE 11.4 - Open-MPI 1.3.2 is missing from the science repo | ||||
| Description | The instructions from http://www.openfoam.org/download/suse.php are no longer fully functional, simply because Open-MPI 1.3.2 has disappeared from science repo for openSUSE 11.4. This came to my attention from this forum post: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam-installation/99727-installation-problem-openfoam-2-1-0-opensuse-11-4-a.html | ||||
| Additional Information | After looking into http://software.opensuse.org/package/openmpi and searching through the unsupported repos, the closest "reliable" source I could find was from the devel section of openSUSE. The proposed changes are to the following instructions: sudo zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/libraries:/c_c++/openSUSE_11.4/ devel:libraries:c_c++ sudo zypper in openmpi=1.4.5 Then don't forget to change the other 1.3.2 occurrences on that page. Note: I have not fully tested if things work with this 1.4.5 package. | ||||

Actually there is no need to use a package from non-standard repositories. OpenSUSE 11.4 ships with openmpi 1.2.8, and OpenFOAM builds against it without problems. |
|
|
It might build with 1.2.8, but the OpenFOAM Team has been "advertising" Open-MPI 1.3.2 since the SuSE-RPM pack of OpenFOAM 1.7.1 was released: http://www.openfoam.org/archive/1.7.1/download/suse.php Perhaps a bug was found back then. But all I know is that the last google cache reference I can find about 1.3.2 being on the science repos dates back to 26th of February of this year, so it doesn't look like it was removed very long ago... |
|
|
If I remember correctly I picked 1.3.2 since that was run-time compatible with 1.4 series so I could just run across machines those two versions. This isn't the case for 1.2.8 and I never investigated why exactly. Does the binary run with that 14.5? |
|
|
Tomorrow I'll be able to do some more tests, but for now all I know is that it seems to work in serial mode. |

Tested 2 tutorials, which both worked successfully with 4 cores on a VM with openSUSE x86_64 11.4: * incompressible/simpleFoam/turbineSiting * combustion/fireFoam/les/smallPoolFire3D edit: Interesting... I tried on openSUSE 12.1 x86_64 (also on a VM with 4 cores) with the exact same Open-MPI 1.4.5 from 11.4 devel and OpenFOAM 2.1.0 RPMS for 11.4 as well and those two tutorials also worked!! |

Hi, I guess this report can be closed, since with OpenFOAM 2.1.1 and the given RPM instructions are only for openSUSE 12.1 and not 11.4. Best regards, Bruno |
