Fail to compile OpenFoam
 

Hi, everyone~

I installed OpenFoam2.1.1 on Ubuntu 10.04, then I try to build a debug version of it. There is what I have done and the problem I have got.:

I modified "/opt/openfoam211/etc/bashrc" by setting WM_COMPILE_OPTION to Debug.
I soursed this bashrc file in ~/.bashrc.
I checked that both flex and bison are installed
I start ./Allwmake under directory /opt/openfoam211

There came a lot of error and the original error I found is :
I tried "ln -s linux64GccDPOpt linux64GccDPDebug " and it did not make a difference.

Did I miss something ?:confused:

:)Thanks~

Hello,

I think, you don´t have the permission to compile and install the program in /opt.
Perhaps you try your home directory for installing OpenFOAM. I think, this might solve your problem.

Or you can change the permission rights of your OpenFOAM folder in /opt, so that you have a writing accesse without being a superuser or using sudo.
