| Summary | 0000567: openfoam.org - Typo and additional package for Ubuntu related instructions | ||||
| Description | There is a typo on both source and git pages for 2.1.1 and 2.1.x respectively, where it's spelled "onieric" instead of "oneiric": * http://www.openfoam.org/download/source.php#x6-28000 * http://www.openfoam.org/download/git.php#x7-45000 The deb page doesn't have this typo ;) As for the additional package for Ubuntu, more precisely 12.04 Precise: libncurses-dev Technically, the one that exists is "libncurses5-dev", but apt-get will do as it does for "libreadline-dev", namely uses the default "libreadline6-dev" or "libreadline5-dev", depending on the Ubuntu version. I understand that the pages mentioned above do not indicate that "precise" is a tested Ubuntu distribution, unlike where the deb page does mention "precise" as an available installation. Without this package "setSet" was the only application that wouldn't build out-of-the-box. | ||||
| Additional Information | I only knew that the "libncurses5-dev" package was missing on Precise when it was reported on the cfd-online forum that Debian-testing required it: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam-installation/103780-openfoam-installation-debian-testing-64-bit.html Upon investigation, this is due to the following bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=602720 - where it indicates that the dependency list on libreadline6 should drop libncurses5. This is now fixed on Debian Wheezy and was also fixed on Ubuntu 12.04. | ||||
