installation OF-1.7.1

Hi,

I'm trying to install OF-1.7.1 on a 32 bit PC with ubuntu 10.04, but I have trouble with setting the path.
Here 's the message I get after using the checking system script foamInstallationTest :

WARNING: Conflicting installations:
OpenFOAM settings : /home/lynda1/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.1/applications/bin/linuxGccDPOpt/icoFoam
current path :
CRITICAL ERROR

Could anyone help. Thanks.

Lyna

Greetings Lyna,

Read this post: Building OpenFOAM1.7.0 from source post #4 and onward
There you'll find which packages you need to install for building OpenFOAM in Ubuntu

The rest is as simple as following the page you were reading in www.openfoam.com.

Also, when running Allwmake, you might want to run it like this:

Code:

./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1

This way you will keep a log of the build process and in case there are errors, you can compress it and post it here, so we can figure out what happened.

Best regards,
Bruno
