Arch Linux User Repository

Pre-built binaries of this package and its dependencies can be found in the arch4edu repository.

Hi @Divert, I suggest parmetis-git.

Build fails with:

fatal error: gklib_tls.h: No such file or directory

Is this related to @ng0177 coment:

"needs the https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/parmetis fix to install"? I couldn't figure out what that fix is. Please help.

This could be an answer https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/openfoam-com?O=10#comment-854384

What's the difference from openfoam-com ?

needs the https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/parmetis fix to install

You are right @carlosal1015 ! Both OpenFOAM 8 and 9 works when compiling with gcc11, and both face issues when compiled with gcc12. Problem solved, thanks a lot for the hint !

Is right @travonz, possible related with GCC12 https://develop.openfoam.com/Development/openfoam/-/issues/2481

I tried to have the same message error with tutorials from /opt/OpenFoam/.../tutorials, but I had this message (see here) with this code example.

Side note: This is related with openfoam-com, not tested yet with openfoam-org.

Hello, I have just upgraded from 8 to 9 and face a strange issue. Running motorbike tutorial, simpleFoam crashes immediately producing the following message:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: error in IOstream "OSHA1stream.sinkFile_" for operation Ostream& operator<<(Ostream&, const char) file: OSHA1stream.sinkFile_ at line 0. From function virtual bool Foam::IOstream::check(const char*) const in file db/IOstreams/IOstreams/IOstream.C at line 96.

If I comment out functions { #include "streamlines" #include "cuttingPlane" #include "forceCoeffs"} in controlDict file, it works well.

I have installed everything properly from AUR repo. I have tryied to manually install OpenFOAM 9 and Thirdpary and get the same issue.

Has anyone experienced the same issue ?

@petronny Please could you update to openfoam-org 9. I have the PKGBUILD done:

Great! I actually built the oF9 from scratch a month earlier, as this was superseded. I request the maintainer to update, as @DarioP added.
