error in installing OpenSees 2.3.0 in Ubuntu 11.04

[tusharkantimandal]

system: Ubuntu 11.04
Opensees version: 2.3.0
Makefile modified: Makefile.def.Ubuntu9.04 [modified according to the "readme" file provided with the package]
I found following error :
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
In file included from commands.cpp:223:0:
/home/sghosh/sources/OpenSees/SRC/system_of_eqn/linearSOE/sparseGEN/SuperLU.h:48:23: fatal error: slu_ddefs.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
I went to that file SuperLU.h, and line 48 looks for slu_ddefs.h. But don't know where to find it. Can anyone help me in this matter???

[fmk]

what is in the Makefile.def for SuperLU location .. it should be pointing to SuperLU_4.1

[tusharkantimandal]

Thank you! I've corrected the Makefile.def as you have suggested. I guess the compilation went past the SuperLU. However, I have a new (similar?) error:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In file included from /home/sghosh/sources/OpenSees/SRC/renderer/OpenGLRenderer.h:43:0,
from TclFeViewer.cpp:50:
/home/sghosh/sources/OpenSees/SRC/renderer/OpenGlDevice.h:33:19: fatal error: GL/gl.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can you please suggest a fix to this?

[fmk]

it is looking for the opengl header file .. that is smething that is machine specific .. go look for it .. if you don't have it look at Makefile.def.RANGER in MAKES and use similar graphics flags.

[tusharkantimandal]

Thanks so much!
I installed libgl1-mesa-dev and it gave me a gl.h. So the next compilation seems to go past that, but it showed a new error with the FE:
================

I will really appreciate your help in this.

[fmk]

do you have the following directories: /home/sghosh/sources/lib/ and /home/sghosh/sources/bin

if not, create them. if you do cd to OpenSees/SRC and type make to find out why it is not compiling.

I had the bin and lib directories under ~/sources, so I followed your second suggestion of running make under /OpenSees/SRC/. And this is what I got:
=====================
ContactMaterial2D.cpp: In function ‘void* OPS_NewContactMaterial2DMaterial()’:
ContactMaterial2D.cpp:54:116: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to ‘char*’

make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/sghosh/sources/OpenSees/SRC/material'
make: *** [all] Error 2
=====================
Should I delete ‘::ContactMaterial2D’ in the file specified and try recompiling? But where do I type make this time, /OpenSees or /OpenSees/SRC/ ?

Thanks for your help.

[tusharkantimandal]

After editing the ContactMaterial2D.cpp and ContactMaterial3D.cpp in OpenSees/SRC/ (as suggested), I ran ''make'' in the OpenSees directory. Here are the last few lines showing error in compilation:

Could anybody please help me in this?

[fmk]

what version of tcl do you have??

[tusharkantimandal]

tcl8.5 (8.5.9-2) [also 8.4, but 8.5 libraries are mentioned in Makefile.def], and
tk8.5 (8.5.9-2).

Thanks for your continuous help.

Dear Tushar,

See the version of TCL Tk ........ Install the tcl tk 8.5. version. Got the header files for both tcl and tk include that in TCL_INCLUDES .
Also do change the C, C++ and Fortran flags....... to -D_TCL85.

Regards

Pallavi

Dear Pallavi,
Thanks for your help. I could only find the C++ flags and changed these at two places to:
C++FLAGS = -Wall -D_LINUX -D_UNIX -D_TCL85 \ .....
but for C and Fortran, this is what is there in the Makefile.def, and I did not change this
CFLAGS = -Wall -O2
FFLAGS = -Wall -O

After these, I ran make from sources/OpenSees/ directory and this is the error message that I got:

/home/sghosh/sources/OpenSees/SRC/tcl/tclMain.o: In function `g3TclMain(int, char**, int (*)(Tcl_Interp*), int, int)':
tclMain.cpp:(.text+0x190): undefined reference to `TclFormatInt'

make: *** [all] Error 2

Dear Sir,

As per my knowledge, the problem is with the tcl things, if possible do separate and new installation of tcl tk 8.5 and give the corresponding paths in the Makefile.def.
