problem with v1806 docker image on Linux OS

The problem is briefly described in the following thread: https://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam-solving/204881-unable-launch-parafoam.html

there seems to be something wrong with mpirun in the docker image.

1. bash-4.2$ mpirun --help

2. ---

3. It looks like opal_init failed for some reason; your parallel process is

4. likely to abort. There are many reasons that a parallel process can

5. fail during opal_init; some of which are due to configuration or

6. environment problems. This failure appears to be an internal failure;

7. here's some additional information (which may only be relevant to an

8. Open MPI developer):

10. opal_shmem_base_select failed

11. --> Returned value -1 instead of OPAL_SUCCESS

12. bash-4.2$ paraview

13. QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-linzh'

47. *** An error occurred in MPI_Init

48. *** on a NULL communicator

49. *** MPI_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL (processes in this communicator will now abort,

50. *** and potentially your MPI job)

51. [ce8b1d83bd53:2271] Local abort before MPI_INIT completed successfully; not able to aggregate error messages, and not able to guarantee that all other processes were killed!

Hi,
This is strange.I was unable to reproduce issue .
Anyhow following should help do following or
export OPAL_LIBDIR=$OPAL_PREFIX/lib64
or
export OPAL_LIBDIR=/opt/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-v1806/platforms/linux64Gcc/openmpi-1.10.4/lib64
It should resolve this issue

Regards
Pawan

Thanks for your help. This solve the problem.

@Pawan: I've reproduced this same issue using Ubuntu 16.04 as the host machine. And both alternative fixes worked for me. The error also affects the ability of running the solvers and utilities in parallel.

Please add this solution to the FAQ section in https://www.openfoam.com/download/install-binary-linux.php - or please update the container?

Thanks Bruno. I have small change in scripts installOpenFOAM and is passing OPAL_LIBDIR as env variables. Can you please
check this and if it works , i will replace installOpenFOAM
file from server with latest one. This script will create new container
with name "of_v1806-test" . Please modify startOpenFOAM with new
container name . installOpenFOAM ,

Thanks Pawan. I have checked the new install script and it works.

Thanks Hua... @Bruno: I will update the new scripts.

Gracias, al fin pude usar el Openfoam 1806 en linux mint 19.
