Installation/Linux/foam-extend-3.2/openSUSE

1 Introduction

This page is dedicated to preparing an openSUSE system for installing the foam-extend project .

2 openSUSE versions

2.1 openSUSE 42.1

Follow these steps:

1. Switch to root mode (administrator), to install the necessary packages:

   sudo -s

   • If the 'sudo' command tells you're not in the sudoers list, then run:

     su -

2. Install the necessary packages:

   zypper install -t pattern devel_C_C++
   zypper install cmake libqt4-devel qt4-x11-tools qt4-assistant-adp-devel gnuplot openmpi-devel boost-devel cgal-devel gmp-devel mpfr-devel libQtWebKit-devel python-devel git mercurial rpm-build

3. Now exit from the root mode:

   exit

4. Note: In order for Open-MPI to be properly accessible, you will need to either logout and then log back in or run the following command in each terminal in the meantime:

   source /etc/profile.d/mpi-selector.sh

Then continue following the instructions on the previous page, subsection Get the source code, although keep in mind to run the following commands before you run source etc/bashrc:

echo unset WM_THIRD_PARTY_USE_CMAKE_322 >> etc/prefs.sh
echo export WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI >> etc/prefs.sh

More specifically, the commands should be executed something like this:

cd ~/foam/foam-extend-3.2
 
echo unset WM_THIRD_PARTY_USE_CMAKE_322 >> etc/prefs.sh
echo export WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI >> etc/prefs.sh
 
source etc/bashrc

And then, in order for the library parMetisDecomp to build properly, you need to run once the following command:

sed -i -e 's=\-L$(OPENMPI.*=$(PLIBS)=' $FOAM_SRC/decompositionMethods/parMetisDecomp/Make/options

Note: Using the openSUSE's own Metis system installation did not work at the time of this writing (23:09, 19 December 2015 (CET)).
