Issue or question about MOOSE

Hi all,

I am installing MOOSE and RACCOON. After building MOOSE, then clone RACCOON, and run below to get the submodule.

git submodule update --init --recursive

Then I try to compile RACCOON using make, but got the following error.

I also checked and found 'mesh_netgen_interface.h' file in the right directory. But for the 'XYZDelaunayGenerator' here, I did not find it in a successfully built MOOSE file on another pc of mine.

in /projects/raccoon/moose/framework/src/meshgenerators

Many thanks for any help.

Best

Hello

But for the 'XYZDelaunayGenerator' here, I did not find it in a successfully built MOOSE file on another pc of mine.

It was added only a few month ago so maybe your other version of MOOSE did not have it.

Most likely, your version of libmesh is not up to date.

How are you installing moose? Are you using conda to get moose-petsc/libmesh? Or are you running the scripts to get petsc/libmesh?

[GiudGiud]

Quick and dirty potential solution could be (if you are in a hurry)

cd ~/projects/racoon/moose/framework
rm src/meshgenerators/XYZDelaunayGenerator.C
rm include/meshgenerators/XYZDelaunayGenerator.h

then build

Thanks for the reply.

Most likely, your version of libmesh is not up to date.

I run the scripts again to get petsc/libmesh.

And get the error when update libmesh:

/usr/include/features-time64.h:21:10: fatal error: bits/timesize.h: No such file or directory
   21 | #include <bits/timesize.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

For the way that remove XYZDelaunayGenerator and build, another error related to libmesh pops up:

The second error means you can't move forward without updating libmesh.

The first error is a missing system library. This is odd. You could just add it manually, it s a very simple one.

You are compiling on Linux right?
