Bashrc Permission denied

Quote:

sudo nano .bashrc

and saved changes to it before exiting.

as the readme says I have added

Quote:

$HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/etc/bashrc

to the very end of the file so there is nothing after it.

This gives me the error when i start the terminal again of:

Quote:

bash: /home/xye/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/etc/bashrc: Permission denied

I do not know what to do now.

was confused for a minute where you mean't to put the . but i put it in the bashrc just to check.
