Hi, I'm installing gmsh following this wiki page :

http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Contrib_gmshFoam

but when I do

patch -p1 < $WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR/applications/utilities/gmshFoam/gmsh-2.0.8-foam-YYYYMMDD.di ff

I receive the following error:

can't find file to patch at input line 1417
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

why? Can anyone help me?

Hi, Dante,
If you are sure you replaced $WM_PROJECT_DIR and YYYYMMDD as appropriate, it might be a version incompatibility of diff and patch. I had another report stating the same problem on this forum but still haven't got conclusion. What version of patch are you using (patch --version)?

Hi Takuya,
Of course I use the correct names for $WM_PROJECT_DIR and YYYYMMDD. The pathc version on my computer is: "patch 2.5.9".

Hi Dante,

I tried 2.5.9 but could not reproduce the problem... Meanwhile I changed the way to take diffs to a standard manner since the diff included in the gmshFoam package was taken in a bit unusual way. Could you try it and report how it works?
