Installing GranOO on CentOS7

[Murilo Moreira]

Dear all,
As I was unable to install GranOO on Windows 10, I tried to install it on the PC of our laab group. It is a CentOS7,
I tried to follow the tutorial, alll the dependencies installed ok, but when I tried to build GranOO I got the following error:

/home/granoo/tags/2.0/Lib/GranOO/libCore/Problem.cpp:49:54: fatal error: boost/lexical_cast/try_lexical_convert.hpp: Arquivo ou diretório não encontrado
 #include <boost/lexical_cast/try_lexical_convert.hpp>
                                                      ^
compilation terminated.

Anybody has any idea on hoe to solve?
Clearly it is something related to boost, it seems that boost is installed because when I ran "sudo yum install  boost-devel" I got a message saying that it is already installed and updated.
Thank you very much!
All the best, Murilo

Dear Murilo,

indeed the basic version of boost in CentOS 7.0 is 1.53. GranOO needs at least 1.58 !

You can use :

sudo yum install rh-mariadb101-boost-devel-1.58

and then config your cmake file :

cmake -D CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/path/to/your/granoo/install/GranOO/2.0/" ../ -DBoost_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/rh/rh-mariadb101/root/usr/include

Dear Jeremie,
Thank you very, very much for this.
I am installing the righ version of Boost!
Thank you!
I will let you know if I have any problems;
All the best, Murilo

Dear Jeremie,

I was able to successfully build and run the Rain example. However, it took a minor adjustment because the include of the Util.hpp library wasn't pointing to the correct directory (#include "GranOO/libDEM/Prop/Util.hpp" instead of #include "GranOO/libUtil/Util.hpp"). But after this adjustement the whole simulation worked fine. I got a Rain.exe and made the simulation. However when I tried to see the result the command "granoo-viewer ./Results/" resulted in an error:
"granoo-viewer: error while loading shared libraries: libvtkFiltersSources-7.1.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" do you have any idea on how to fix this?
Anyway thank you very much for your time and help!
All the best, Murilo

Hello,
a quick and dirty fix may be to locate the "libvtkFiltersSources-*.so" file and to copy it with the right name. This problem comes from cmake. :(

If you have the choice, prefer the last ubuntu LTS for granoo. The install is easy and painless !

Dear Damien,
Thank you very much for your message!
I may try to install ubuntu, but just to check, I tried to locate the files, and the problem is that they already have the right name. Do you know how I can indicate to CMake where such files are?
All the best, Murilo

[Damien André]

I don't know how to tell to cmake where is this file, it's really strange and I am not reaaly friendly with CentOS.... But, generally, dynamic libraries  (*.so) are in the "/usr/lib/*" path. Executables lookup in this folder in order to find the dynamic library.

Dear Damien,
Thank you VERY much for your help, as you said, it was only a matter of copying the .so from vtk and libboost from their folders to the /usr/lib path.
Aftter sudo ldconfig everything ran smoothly and I was able to run the granoo-viewer!
Thank you SO much!
All the best, Murilo
