NEWS: SGI has just aquired OpenCFD Ltd, the company behind OpenFOAM. No idea what this might mean for the future. Press release here: http://www.sgi.com/company_info/newsroom/press_releases/2011/august/opencfd.html

Thanks for the note; I'll look into it when I get back to my box on Monday. Should be an easy fix.

I just updated to 2.0.1 and i've noticed paraFoam no longer works. I get this error FATAL ERROR: ParaView reader module libraries do not exist Please build the reader module before continuing: cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV3Readers ./Allwclean ./Allwmake I've tried the obvious and ran those commands but all i get is $ sudo ./Allwmake + '[' -d '' -a -r '' ']' Also tried reinstalling from scratch but that didn't work either. openFoam itself still works fine its just parafoam that doesn't seem to work.

Updated to OpenFOAM 2.0.1, which is a bugfix release.

Glad to help! Let me know if you find any other trouble with the package. OpenFOAM can be quite the beast to maintain.

Thank you very much for your help. Also kudos on your rapid response. It has now installed successfully.

Your openmpi environment is improperly setup, possibly from an old OpenFOAM install that pointed to the old 1.7.3 ThirdParty library version of openmpi. For a system install of openmpi 1.5.3-3 "mpicc -showme" should return "gcc -pthread -L/usr/lib/openmpi -lmpi -ldl". That is why ptscotch is failing to build. You will want to clean out any old OpenFOAM and ThirdParty versions which could have installed an openmpi environment; pay special attention to anything in /etc/profile.d/ or /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ that involves openfoam or openmpi. Then logout/in or just restart to clear your environment variables like PATH. Both OpenFOAM and openmpi really fill up your environment. If the problem persists you might need to go to the arch forums or openmpi (http://www.open-mpi.org/) to find out what might be overwriting the environment for your system install of openmpi (1.5.3-3). I'm afraid I am not an expert.

mpicc -showme returns "Cannot open configuration file /opt/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.7.1/platforms/linux64Gcc/openmpi-1.4.1/share/openmpi/mpicc-wrapper-data.txt Error parsing data file mpicc: Not found" pacman -Qi openmpi says I have version 1.5.3-3 installed It fails on bdgraph_bipart_df.o when installing the dependency ptscotch-openmpi

It seems like OpenFOAM is trying to use their own Thirdparty OpenMPI instead of the system OpenMPI, which should be installed as a dependency of paraview. The file prefs.sh which gets added by the PKGBUILD sets WM_MPI=SYSTEMOPENMPI, which uses mpicc -showme to properly fill out the openmpi paths. Can you verify that the command "mpicc -showme" works, do a "pacman -Qi openmpi" for details which one is installed, and can you share which file(s) the compile fails on for you?

This isn't compiling for me (v.2.0.0) it's looking for files in a third party folder (Cannot open configuration file /opt/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.7.1/platforms/linux64Gcc/openmpi-1.4.1/share/openmpi/mpicc-wrapper-data.txt) that don't exist.
