Not working on Mac - maybe due to issue in the Solvers file for Mac

[monugeni]

Describe the bug

I am following the installation instructions as per the INSTALL.md file.

When I try to start Baram using:

python main.py

I get the following error:

  File "/Users/tan/baram-mac/baram/main.py", line 24, in <module>
    from view.main_window.start_window import Baram
  File "/Users/tan/baram-mac/baram/view/main_window/start_window.py", line 19, in <module>
    from coredb.project import Project, ProjectOpenType
  File "/Users/tan/baram-mac/baram/coredb/project.py", line 13, in <module>
    import openfoam.run as run
  File "/Users/tan/baram-mac/baram/openfoam/run.py", line 53, in <module>
    ompiPath = glob.glob(str(OPENFOAM / 'lib' / 'openmpi*'))[0]  # No Validity Check. It should exist.
IndexError: list index out of range

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Follow installation instructions as per INSTALL.md
2. Use the Mac solvers file from :
3. python main.py

Expected behavior Baram should start. It is working fine on Linux.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu 22.10
• Python: 3.9

Additional context I believe the problem is in the Solvers file. There are no files in the lib directory with names matching openmpi* The Solvers file for linux has a number of such files existing in the lib folder. Please check.

Hello, monugeni. Sorry for the inconvenience. Could you try following change in openfoam/run.py? By the way, is your mac running on Intel Silicon? Please note that Apple silicon like M1, M2 is not supported for now. However, next BARAM version is coming out soon with Apple silicon support.

I am using centos linux and I can reproduce the same problem. And the fix above doesn't work because openmpi* is in lib and sys-openmpi* is in tlib. So what I need to do is to modify only line 54 in run.py by changing openmpi* to sys-openmpi*.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your message. The latest Baram works fine without any changes. It works on Apple Silicon mac also and I hope shall work ok on Centos also.
