Installation Susume
If after installin the !"#$%" binaries, you experience library errors while runnin it
with $pen&$"', you need to compile !"#$%" from source.
()"S$N* OpenFOAM uses a library called +libsampling.so+ which has the same
name of a DAKOTA library ,see the !"#$%"-installation-dir.lib directory/. %o use
!akota and $pen&$"' toether you need to compile !akota usin static libraries
SOLUTION* In the !akota 0makeLists.txt set*
instead of
option(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS "Build shared libraries?" O! "#$% line
set libraries as static in the followin way*
" option(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS "Build shared libraries?" O!
" Build stati& libraries OL'
set(BUILD_S(A(I)_LIBS O )A)HE BOOL "Set to O to build stati& libraries" *OR)E!
In this way instead of 1.so 23 you will et static libraries ,1.a/ and !akota and $&
can work toether.
