Sorry for starting a new thread, but I am not sure if its the same problem as the others below

below is the output file from installation test
with this warning the one I am concerned about;

FATAL ERROR Foam install directory not set.

Set correct path to installation 'WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR' in /home/s/.foam2.3/bashrc

How do I go about pointing openfoam in the right direction?

Kind Regards Stephen

This looks like what you get when you've added a line to the end of ~/.bashrc but you're running foamInstallationTest in a shell that hasn't had the benefit of that modification.

Try closing all your terminal sessions, open a new one, and run foamInstallationTest again.

What happened to ~/.bashrc ?
The ones with the tildes on the ends are backups.

That looks okay, but what file is it in?

This is a clue. It can't find the file.

You've untarred the OpenFOAM software into the linux subdirectory of the OpenFOAM directory.
That's the wrong place.

Try this:

mv ~/OpenFOAM/linux/OpenFOAM-1.4.1 ~/OpenFOAM/

Maybe you'll have better results if you put it where it's supposed to be.

They look a bit misleading to me.

That's odd.

> Can I just copy the bash file from /home/s.....

No, it's a completely different file.

No, I'm pretty sure that message is left over from a previous incarnation of OpenFOAM. There should be no .foam2.3 directory in the home directory.

At this point I think you should take the files you've downloaded and put them in a safe place, then delete contents of the OpenFOAM directory and start again after reading

http://www.opencfd.co.uk/openfoam/linux.html#linux

Then go to the README file at ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4.1/README and take it from there.

Note that you put the OpenFOAM*.gtgz files in the ~/OpenFOAM directory, change directory to there, and untar them in that directory. The other *.tgz files go into the ~/OpenFOAM/linux directory, you change directory to there and untar them there.


Regards, Graeme.

O This is frustrating ( Here is exactly what I typed in and the errors I recieved


Using the installation guide and the readme ( which I couldnt find in OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4.1/README ( not there )

a) Downloaded the following files from www.openfoam.org

OpenFOAM-1.4.1.General.gtgz

OpenFOAM-1.4.1.linuxGccDPOpt.gtgz

OpenFOAM-1.4.1.linuxGccSPOpt.gtgz

I Saved these files to $home/OpenFOAM.

by making # mkdir /home/OpenFOAM OpenFOAM directory is sitting next to my user directory


gcc-4.1.1.linux.tgz

paraview-2.4.4.linux.tgz

j2sdk1.4.2.os.linux.tgz

Save these files to $home/OpenFOAM/linux.

 

I changed directory and Untared every single file in the previous order using this command:

-----------------------------------------------------

tar -xzvf <filename>

Error message returned ( on the zipped files OpenFOAM-1.4.1.linuxGccDPOpt.gtgz and OpenFOAM-1.4.1.linuxGccSPOpt.gtgz

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
root@s-desktop:/home/OpenFOAM#
OAM-1.4.1/bin/foamInstallationTest
-----------------------------------------------------



Then did foamSystemCheck using the following shell command line by line:

-----------------------------------------------------

cd ~/OpenFoam/OpenFOAM-1.4.1/bin

chmod -v 555 foamSystemCheck

setenv PATH ${PATH}:~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4.1/bin/ ( came back with no command found )

foamSystemCheck

chmod -v 755 foamSystemCheck

-----------------------------------------------------

 

e) Set the environmental variable using the following shell command line by line:

-----------------------------------------------------

gedit ~/.bashrc &

. ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4.1/.OpenFOAM-1.4/bashrc

this was found at the bottom of the bashrc file , saved then exited
-----------------------------------------------------

Once you are in gedit mode, add the following line to the end of the file:

After you have saved the file, type in the following shell ( shell as in terminal???) command:

source ~/.cshrc


The environmental variable has been changed. Double check it by the command:


echo $PATH
To which It returned a whole lot of path names -----------------------------------------------------

 

Then I Checked the installation by foamInstallationTest:

-----------------------------------------------------

cd $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4.1/bin

chmod -v 555 foamInstallationTest

foamInstallationTest


The results being

root@s-desktop:/home/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4.1/bin# /home/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4.1/bin/foamInstallationTest

What the earth is going on !!!!

The only difference between unpacking this time from the last time is that the files had a X above them and needed a permision change ( the X i assume is that the file did not unpack properly

Please help

! so in another shell we edit it, just cutting and pasting from the
! README.

s@graeme-vaio:~$ vi .bashrc
s@graeme-vaio:~$

! We notice that the README says to instruct the shell to run the

I am really desperate for your help.

I am having problems trying to install the Openfoam on my linux ubuntu for the past 2 weeks. I came across your discussion on the forum but could not reply there as there was no option to register.

I did exactly what you said, and this is what I get when I do the foam Installation test

The system test has evoked 1 fatal error(s).

The foam installation contains 1 critical error(s).

Review the output for warning messages and consult
the installation guide for trouble shooting.

I am highlighting what I think is the error. I have tried to contact my IT department in this regard but they are of no help as I am the first person here to be working in Linux. Another problem is when I tried to run blockMesh . cavity

I get the following error,
frpelikan@Techn-028:~/OpenFOAM/mayank/run/tutorials/icoFoam$ blockMesh . cavity
bash: /home/frpelikan/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4/applications/bin/linuxGcc4DPOpt/blockMesh: No such file or directory

this i cant understand as I have sourced the file correctly.

Can you please help me as I have tried everything available on the internet for the last 2 weeks but have been really helpless and am desperate.

Thanx in advance

Try OpenFOAM-1.5. I think it has better support for Ubuntu.

Greetings Kumar,

You can get Gcc 4.1.2 from OpenFOAM 1.4: http://sourceforge.net/projects/foam/files/foam/1.4/

But for OpenFOAM 1.4.1, it seems that you should use at least Gcc 4.2.1: http://sourceforge.net/projects/foam/files/foam/1.4.1/

Either way, you don't need Gcc 4.1.1.

Best regards,
Bruno

Dear Bruno,
really thanks for information,i am working in flapping wing analysis,for that i have to find lift,drag and thrust.right now i have the input data is(velocity=2m/s,throttle speed,and xyz coordinates of model with xyz data 33 rows and 225 columns in .csv file format,how i can create block mesh and how i can import all xyz coordinates allready i work OF 2.1 in that i work tutorials cavity,airfoil,but my laptop get crashed and i have little knowledge about OF,for this flapping wing my point of view is,
step1.i import xyz coordinates of data and create block mesh
2. and create snappy hex mesh
3. solver is icofoam(laminar incompressible flow)

but how i import my data and how i can start
Please help

Kind regards kumar.

Hi Kumar,

I didn't even gather enough strength to answer you sooner. You've posted a question that isn't remotely related to this very old thread.

If you want to get help on this forum, you better learn a bit more how it works: How To Get Help On The Message Board

Best regards,
Bruno
