Getting the library for LIGGGHTS to use with CFDEM

Submitted by FlorianL on Tue, 07/09/2013 - 13:08

Dear Users and Developers,

I am trying to get LIGGGHTS and CFDEM running for two days now and read almost all threads related to compiling and installing in this forum.

So far, I was able to compile LIGGGHTS 2.3.6 on my ubuntu 12.04 (precise) machine and obtained the executable similar to the steps described in the forum by PaulWinkler.

I can start LIGGGHTS and I tested some tutorials, like the cohesion-noCohesion example, and it worked fine.

Then I moved on to compile CFDEM. However, during compilation, I get the following error:


/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -llmp_ubuntuVTK
486 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
487 make: *** [/home/hanzo/OpenFOAM/hanzo-2.1.1/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/lib/liblagrangianCFDEM-PUBLIC-2.1.1.so] Error 1

so a certain library is needed. I then figured out that lmp_ubuntuVTK is exactly the name of the executable when I compiled LIGGGHTS. So I hoped to find a liblmp_ubuntuVTK.so or similar. However, the only thing I have closest to the library of LIGGGHTS is the Obj_ubuntuVTK folder containing all *.a files related to LIGGGHTS.

So I tried:
make makelib in the src-folder of LIGGGHTS but exept for

grep: angle_*.h: No such file or directory
grep: dihedral_*.h: No such file or directory
grep: improper_*.h: No such file or directory

nothing seems to happen or is written.

So my question now, is there a way to obtain the library file of LIGGGHTS which seems to be needed to compile CFDEM?

Thank you in advance.

to push this up, but is there no way I can fix this?

Hi,

I'd talk to a sysadmin or person knowledgeable of Linux makefiles in order to adapt the makefile to your system

Best,

Sry for the late answer. Many of us are on vacation.

Did you try to follow the installation guide in githubAccess_public.pdf and not to use the precompiled (apt-get) version of liggghts?

Best,
Andreas
