OpenFOAM-9-foss-2021a fails to work and install

[moravveji]

Hi

We have a user on Breniac who wants to use OpenFOAM/9. When he tries the module from the 2019b toolchain and use paraFoam, he gets an error attached in err-19b.jpeg. So, I pulled the .eb file and installed OpenFOAM/9 on 2021a toolchain. This time, the user gets somehow different error; see err-21a.jpeg. Obviously, in either case, the problems go around ParaView.

To remedy that, I included the libxcb/1.13-GCCcore-10.3.0 to the dependency list, and tried to recompile it; however, this time, the build fails totally (with and without libxcb). Hence, I cannot reproduce my earlier compilation anymore. The error message is:

== building...
== FAILED: Installation ended unsuccessfully (build directory: /apps/leuven/skylake/2021a/software/OpenFOAM/9-foss-2021a): build failed (first 300 chars): cmd "source /apps/leuven/skylake/2021a/software/OpenFOAM/9-foss-2021a/OpenFOAM-9/etc/bashrc && cd $WM_PROJECT_DIR && wcleanPlatform -all && cd - &&

I have attached all useful stuff.

So, my questions are:

• How to build OpenFOAM/9-foss-2021a?
• How to ensure paraFoam can be launched flawlessly?

Kind regards Ehsan of9-foss-2021a.tar.gz

I can send full log for both installs -if you neeed these

@catalinbostan very strange, indeed. The reason for the 1st failure is unknown to me. Any verbose logs? Did you use the .eb file I attached? Else, could you please share your EasyConfig file?
