So, as suggested by another member here I was trying to run the motorBike example found in

$FOAM_TUTORIALS/incompressible/simpleFoam/motorBike

I executed from a Linux (Ubuntu 12.10 64bit) terminal

$ ./Allrun -v

and I have got the following

On my Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit virtualbox on my windows machine, where OpenFoam 2.2.0 was installed from the repository (as a binary, not compiled), the tutorial worked without a hitch.

Any idea what's the cause of this? Thanks.

EDIT: Just wanted to say that the introductory "Cavity" tutorial worked just fine with the compiled OF, so my "newbie" guess is that it has to do with SnappyHexMesh.

I saw there is a similar earlier thread, here:
http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post416285

So I posted my problem there.

I have the same problem. When I type in simpleFoam, it does 50 calculations and say Segmentation fault (core dumped). If you can perhaps advise, I shall be grateful

SOLVED!!!! Thanks to Bruno, look here:
