FATAL ERROR: OpenFOAM environment not configured.

    Please refer to the installation section of the README file:
    <OpenFOAM installation dir>/OpenFOAM-1.6/README
    to source the OpenFOAM environment.

fabio@fabio-laptop:~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/bin$ ./foamInstallationTest

I found this error in the forum and there is your solution:

http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...oam-1-6-a.html

but it is for 1.6....I can follow?

Ah, you apparently missed the text at the very end of the script:

Installation complete - You have chosen to use bash alias
To start using OpenFOAM, you'll have to start a new terminal first;
then, type:

startFoam

to activate the OpenFOAM environment

Whenever you start a new terminal, and if you want the OpenFOAM environment to start, you should type: startFoam

alias startFoam=". /home/fabio/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/etc/bashrc"

Exactly, whenever you start a new terminal, you should execute startFoam.

Now, if you want both OpenFOAM versions to be available, then edit the $HOME/.bashrc script and change that line you posted to these two lines:

alias startFoam16x=". /home/fabio/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/etc/bashrc"
alias startFoam16=". /home/fabio/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6/etc/bashrc"

And whenever you start a new terminal, you can choose which version you want to run, by running startFoam16 or startFoam16x!

And finally, you should have at least OpenFOAM 1.6.x ready to go

Best regards,
Bruno
