Looks to be ok...

Before we do anything else, try a simple

sudo apt-get update

and then, for 'cmake', 'firebird', 'build-essential' and 'flex', do

aptitude search NAME_OF_PACKAGE

to check if the missing packages are now available. (If aptitude is not installed, do sudo apt-get install aptitude)

I didn't know if my installation is complete !!

Thanks in advance for your help.

Good day for all foamers; *

Your OpenFOAM installation is

Your OpenFOAM installation is complete if the command

foamInstallationTest

displays no other errors than a possible conflict in gcc versions and / or failing to detect the availability of a remote shell.

Your ParaView / PV3FoamReader installation is complete if ParaView can properly open any OpenFOAM case (which, judging by your message, it does).

So congratulations on successfully getting it to work!

Sorry for my quik sends.

Jure, As a new Ubuntu and L

Jure,

As a new Ubuntu and Linux user thanks a lot for this script. it's great. I ran it on ubuntu 8.04 but encountered a few issues and was hoping to get some advice from yourself or any of the other Linux experts here:

1. I ran script #2 and entered answers and passwords as needed by the script but noticed that during running it said "at line 83: home/.../OpenFOAM-1.5/etc/bashrc permission denied". not sure if that's the cause of installation failure. foamInstallationTest tells me FATAL ERROR: environment not configured.

2. the OpenFOAM folder created by the script is protected as a root permission only folder. so i'm unable to even remove things to re-run the script on a clean system.

3. I re-ran script #2 onto the old installation but got the same errors.

4. when i try to access the bashrc file under etc in the OpenFOAM folder i find it completely empty.

5. the baffling issue also, is that when i start a terminal i get this error before even the prompt: "bash: /home/joe/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5/etc/bashrc: Permission denied" ????

the rest of the builds seem to have worked fine.

I know all of the above could be very basic issues but i'd appreciate any help.

regards,
Joseph

You should not install OF as root. But if you need to add some packages via apt-get these will require root password.

This happens only if the script is run as root...

Anyway, to solve this, try

cd
sudo chown -R joe:joe OpenFOAM

Jure, this is great. thanks

Jure,

this is great. thanks.
Problems 2, 4 and 5 are now gone. but still foamInstallationTest gives me a FATAL ERROR.

thanks
Joe

should i remove this OpenFOAM dir created by the script and re-run it?

Hello Joseph,
I have some problems while installing OpenFoam Script and have to rerun againdue to improper paraview installation. I deleted both OpenFoam folder and also "src" directory.

After running the Script, then all works fine No worries till now...

May be it answers your Query.
