./Allrun not working, failed with "Can't open /bin/tools/RunFunctions"

wang219910611 · October 25, 2014, 02:28

HI everyone,

I am a newbee for both Linux and Openfoam. I am studying the tutorials. I have run the ./Allrun successfully in the icoFoam folder. However, when I tried to run this :

bo@bo-OptiPlex-7010:~/OpenFOAM/bo-2.3.0/run/tutorials$ ./Allrun

following error showed up:

./Allrun: 34: .: Can't open /bin/tools/RunFunctions.

And I am sure that I have RunFunctions in the fllowing routine:
/home/bo/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.0/bin/tools

Is anyone kind enough to help me out of this? Many thanks.

Quick answer: The OpenFOAM environment was not active in the current command line; for example, OpenFOAM 2.3.0 installed with the Deb package on Ubuntu can be activated by running:

Code:

source/opt/openfoam230/etc/bashrc

Just for other who have the same Problem:

Another way that helped me a lot is written in this thread here:
Permission denied issue for OpenFoam 2.3.1 on Ubuntu

You can type in the folder containing the files

Code:

chmod +x All*

to give Allrun and Allclean the permission.

Just wanted to share, that this solution did not worked out for me.

In the case of OpenFOAM extend 4.0 this made the trick:

Code:

source ~/foam/foam-extend-4.0/etc/bashrc

In case anybody has problems with this, I submit that the recommended code does not actually work. you need a space between source and the first /. Like so:

Code:

source /opt/openfoam9/etc/bashrc

..maybe different systems do things differently.. I assume it's a simple typo.

-right, like phillip already observed. :-)
