Problem in compiling src

Dear Friends,
I more than 3 times followed this instruction: "setup_LIGGGHTS__OpenFoamR_CFDEM_2p0_on_Ubuntu1004_24052011.txt".
But when I want to compile src in the end of compiling process these errors are appeared :

Unfortunately I did not see the following message at the end of compiling:

I would appreciate any tips how I could solve this problem.

With very warmest regards,

Hi Ebrahim, are you sure that

Hi Ebrahim,
are you sure that you got all the paths and the name of the CFDEM_LIGGGHTS_LIB_NAME right in [...]/src/lagrangian/cfdemParticle/etc/bashrc?
The latter one is the name of the library you created when compiling liggghts and which is located in the src-directory of your LIGGGHTS-version.
Best,
Alice

e.derakhshani | Fri, 12/16/2011 - 16:18

Thanks

Hi Alice,
I checked again all process. unfortunately until now I can not install cfdem.
I really appreciate to tell me what should Ido about this part of installing instruction:

sudo ln -s $HOME/LIGGGHTS/liggghts_GIT/src/lmp_fedora_fpic /usr/bin/liggghts

#make sure that /usr/bin is in the $PATH
#which liggghts (should give /usr/bin/liggghts)

I can not understand the meaning of the sentence after comment.

Thanks alot
Ebrahim

Hi! This is a soft link

Hi!

This is a soft link between the LIGGGHTS library you compiled (lmp_fedora_fpic) and /usr/bin/liggghts.

With this link, the command liggghts will execute lmp_fedora_fpic.

Cheers,
Chris

e.derakhshani | Mon, 12/19/2011 - 14:50

Dear Chris, Thank you for

Dear Chris,

Thank you for your attention.
How can I make sure that /usr/bin is in the $PATH ?
Also, what does mean the $PATH ?

Best Regards,
Ebrahim

e.derakhshani | Tue, 12/20/2011 - 10:19

Problem in compiling src

Dear friends,

I checked this text file : Makefile.fedora_fpic
I found that there is not any address in front of the following lines:

MPI_INC = -DMPICH_IGNORE_CXX_SEEK
MPI_PATH =
MPI_LIB =
.
.
.
FFT_INC = -DFFT_NONE
FFT_PATH =
FFT_LIB =

Is it the problem of installing process?

Still I do not know how can I define usr/bin for the $PATH?
Also what is $PATH ?
I have followed all commands but I think this communication has not been appeared !!
Thanks for your help,
Ebrahim

alice | Tue, 12/20/2011 - 16:35

Hi Ebrahim, $PATH is an

Hi Ebrahim,
$PATH is an (ubuntu) environment-variable, that contains the pathes of all directories, that are - after a program call - searched for the specific program, so:

open a terminal and type
>> echo $PATH

this will show you a number of pathes, seperated from each other by colons. Read through the list, check for ...:/usr/bin:... . If it is not contained, please add this path to the variable (check some ubuntu-forum for specifics on that topic).

cheers,
alice

e.derakhshani | Wed, 12/21/2011 - 15:04

Thanks

Dear Alice,

Thank you for your nice advice.
I checked this command : echo $PATH
Fortunately I could find ":/usr/bin:" .

I think the error in installing process is generated in other lines.

Best regards,
Ebrahim

e.derakhshani | Fri, 12/30/2011 - 12:00

Hi Alice, I checked all

Hi Alice,
I checked all installing process separately and all of them was working right.Also, I compiled OpenFoam , Liggghts and run some examples. I believed that here is not any error related to them.

May I ask you to explain more about your past recommendation:

"are you sure that you got all the paths and the name of the
CFDEM_LIGGGHTS_LIB_NAME right in [...]/src/lagrangian/cfdemParticle/etc/bashrc?"

I have not any idea about this recommendation and I do not know how I can check it.

In addition, when I enter this command: wmake libso , the following erorr was appeared. I put here first part of erorr because it was very long.

sderakhshani@ubuntu:~/OpenFOAM/sderakhshani-1.7.x/src/lagrangian/cfdemParticle$ wclean
sderakhshani@ubuntu:~/OpenFOAM/sderakhshani-1.7.x/src/lagrangian/cfdemParticle$ wmake libso
Making dependency list for source file cfdemCloud/cfdemCloud.C
Making dependency list for source file derived/cfdemCloudIB/cfdemCloudIB.C
could not open file RASModel.H for source file derived/cfdemCloudIB/cfdemCloudIB.C
could not open file RASModel.H for source file cfdemCloud/cfdemCloud.C

I completely confused and I do not know what I should do to remove these errors in installing CFDEM. I am new in Linux environment and need your help.

Thanks in advance

Best Regards,
Ebrahim

Hi Ebrahim, the messages you

Hi Ebrahim,
the messages you see here are some pre-processor statements, no errors. They do not indicate success of failure of the compilation, don't worry about those. In case the compilation process is not completed, we will need more information to make a statement...
Cheers,
Alice

e.derakhshani | Fri, 12/30/2011 - 14:31

Dear Alice, Thanks for your

Dear Alice,

Thanks for your fast response.
I have copied the message which produced during compiling process on a note file.
How can I inform you (message text is too long and I think it is not reasonable to put it here)?

Also, this message did not appeared at the end of compiling src:
'/home/user/OpenFOAM/user-1.7.1/lib/linuxGccDPOpt/liblagrangianCFDEM_shared.so' is up to date.

Best regards,
Ebrahim

alice | Fri, 12/30/2011 - 14:50

Hi Ebrahim, did you have a

Hi Ebrahim,
did you have a look at the thread "Install CFDEM 2.3.0 along with OpenFoam 2.1.0 and Liggghts 1.5", just beyond this one? Does your output-message look anything like this?
Cheers,
Alice
