Greetings,
currently I am having big trouble installing OpenFOAM 1.5 dev.

I have tried a lot of different procedures which I could find at the Wiki, here and in the buildInstructions.txt. Nothing worked. I think a main problem is that the instructions were written for version 1.4.

Here in short my line of actions:

Last year I installed (after a lot of trouble too) OpenFOAM 1.6. I did this simply by "detarring" the four files into an OpenFOAM folder. After that I added the following line into my $HOME.bashrc:

alias foam='. /home/ckaupper/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6/etc/bashrc'

From there on I could open a new bash, type "foam" and could use OpenFOAM commands. I did this because if I do not use this alias the OpenFOAM stuff is always sourced which lead to problems using other software like gnuplot.

OK back to the dev-version:
I have tried a lot.
I found the 1.5 Thirdparty stuff at sourceforge:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/foam/files/

I "detarred" (whats the actual word?) the two thirdpartyfiles which created a new folder called "ThirdParty" (in contrast to my already existing "ThirdParty-1.6"). After this I detar the OpenFOAM-1.5-dev.General_2009-12-11.tgz which I found here:

http://powerlab.fsb.hr/ped/kturbo/OpenFOAM/release/

Here I have tried the System and the OpenFOAM option in the settings.sh and setting.csh.
I also created a new alias called "devfoam" to source the new bashrc file in the /etc folder. The normal bashrc does net work because of a syntaxerror. I also tried the other included bashrc.**** files.
Using one of these other files I can run ./Allwmake. Not running it means that OpenFOAM-dev does not know commands like icoFoam or blockMesh.
But after the compilation is done these commands still do not work.

Are there installationinstructions which describe the installation for dev 1.5?
Or is someone out there who could give my detailed step by step instructions? It would really be a big help for me.

Thanks in advance,
Andre
