I've recently compiled foam-extend-3.0 from source and distributed to a cluster where we have different versions of OpenFOAM already installed from the Ubuntu repo. We've been able to run any version of OF with no issue by sourcing the appropriate version's bashrc on the host and the appropriate arguments are passed to load that version on the slave machines when mpirun is called.

However, this is not occuring in foam-extend. I have to manually source the /opt/foam-extend-3.0/etc/bashrc in the slave machines' $HOME/.bashrc on the first line; however, this prevents us from running other versions of OF since every mpirun call automatically sources foam-extend on the slaves (overwriting the mpirun-called version sourcing).

1. Is there a settings file I need to modify in foam-extend-3.0 to source the bashrc upon mpirun call? Or is there a way of passing the source command during the mpirun call?

2. On a semi related note, foamJob does not appear to work with foam-extend-3.0, with an error thrown:

/opt/foam-extend-3.0/bin/foamExec: 398: /opt/foam-extend-3.0/etc/bashrc: [[: not found
/opt/foam-extend-3.0/bin/foamExec: 21: export: -pthread: bad variable name

Thank you for any help.
