Hi,
I have recently compiled OpenFoam 2.1.x on both a Suse and a Ubuntu linux machine (64-bits) and in both cases the compilation went without problems and I could run the icoFoam test case (and, by now, I have successfully ran other cases as well). Funny thing is: foamInstallationTest tells me that the OpenFOAM environment is not configured. Is this a bug? Or is it possible that the absence of the standard thirdparty programs is causing this? Not really an issue, but I was just curious if anyone knows! |

Hi,
1/2) Nothing, I don't have a thirdparty-2.1.x folder 3) Code:
Executing /home/michiel/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.x/bin/foamInstallationTest: Checking basic setup... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FATAL ERROR: OpenFOAM environment not configured. Please refer to the installation section of the README file: <OpenFOAM installation dir>/OpenFOAM-2.1.x/README to source the OpenFOAM environment. |

LOL! Indeed, simply by renaming the folder "ThirdParty-2.1.x", the script indicates that things aren't OK. After I simply create an empty folder named "ThirdParty-2.1.x", the script no longer reports the error
And interesting, the script doesn't properly check if the MPI built with is available for execution, so even if icoFoam exists but doesn't work, it doesn't give out a critical message... OK, here's what I know and my deduction of their point of view:
Reporting this as a bug is a start, but they probably won't fix it and might close the report with "won't fix" or something like that. Therefore, such a report should be done with a proposition for a proper fix, which takes into account:
Best regards, Bruno
