Hi Everyone,

How to make sure that moving an already existing OpenFOAM installation (built from source) to a different user in same machine or a user in different machine alltogether (assuming all OS, package installation to be the same), works fine (so that one needs not build it again, because its time-consuming).
I mean, just resetting the environment variables would be enough to complete the installation for a new user/machine ?

My actual problem, is that I am trying to run OpenFOAM on a grid.
And I am using my local installation for the grid-user (making sure the permission compatibility) . And I am not able to run OpenFOAM on grid as grid-user (after resetting the env variable according to grid-user)

Following error occurs on running a simple blockMesh Command:

word::stripInvalid() called for word CN=5a631e00-2cdb-4b59-861f-4580f7e05fe2
For debug level (= 2) > 1 this is considered fatal
/tmp/openfoam-test/runOpenFoam: line 23: 16241 Aborted blockMesh

"CN=5a631e00-2cdb-4b59-861f-4580f7e05fe2" is actually the grid-userId on the Grid.
