@Mostafa Mahmoudi

As you suggested the problem was in the environment variables setting. I put the line

                 source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc

in a file named bashrc instead of in file .bashrc.
By correcting and sourcing file .bashrc i solved my problem.
Thank you very much for your kind help.

@Bruno Santos

Thank you for suggestion, but i'd like to get used with Linux

I'm having the same trouble as Meltedbrain - When I run this in terminal:

source $HOME/.bashrc

$WM_PROJECT_DIR is not created -

echoing $WM_PROJECT_DIR returns a blank.

Am I missing something here? I don't think bashrc is creating the necessary file...

Hi Adam,

Following the advice in 'advanced tips' didn't seem to help, since I don't have a working OF environment.

using echo, ls, cd on $WM_PROJECT_DIR returns nothing..

Perhaps I'm not compiling the bashrc file correctly?

Confused,

S

Does the line you added in the bashrc-file effectively refer to the OF installation dir?
e.g.
source /opt/openfoam211/etc/bashrc
will work only if openfoam is installed in /opt/openfoam211/
