What does the following mean?

Code:
blockMesh command not found

It worked fine until now.
Do I need to add anything else to my .bashrc file?

This is how my current .bashrc file ends



Code:
export PATH="$PATH:~$HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.0/etc/bashrc"
export ParaView_DIR="$PATH:~/home/dnaneet/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.1.0/platforms/linux64Gcc/paraview-3.12.0"
        export PATH=$ParaView_DIR/bin:$PATH
        export PV_PLUGIN_PATH=$FOAM_LIBBIN/paraview-3.12

I am having to source my OpenFOAM bashrc file all the time with

HTML Code:
source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.0/etc/bashrc
I am unable to add it to .bashrc.
Any tips?

What is the error message?
Have you tried opening it with "sudo gedit .bashrc"?

Thanks for your reply.
But heres how I solved my error.

I added the following line to my .bashrc file:


Code:
source /home/dnaneet/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.0/etc/bashrc

I have several more questions about an example problem I am running that I'll post in the appropriate place!

Thanks! Cheers!
