Heya,
The variables should have been already set up for you - all you need to do is: cp -r foam2.3.2/.foam2.3.2 $HOME and add the following line . $HOME/.foam2.3.2/bashrc into the ~/.bashrc file. Incidentally, the variable syntax you need for bash is something like this: export WM_LINK_LANGUAGE=c++ You should have received the installation guide with your download, try looking there for more help.

1. $HOME is where? 2. (. $HOME/.foam2.3.2/bashrc) the dot before $ is added there? 3. ~/.bashrc is where?

Looks to me like you need Unix 101:
- $HOME is your home directory. You will get there if you type "cd" - ~ is another name for your home directory. "cd ~" has got the same effect as cd - (. $HOME/.foam2.3.2/bashrc): Yes, there is a dot before $HOME I strongly recomment a basic book on unix or a little search for unix intro on the web. Hrv |

$HOME is variable usually set by the system to represent home directory of the user. Typically it will be /home/<your_user_name> on a command line of the console type echo $HOME and you will see, where is your home.
your .bashrc file is located in your home directory. . in bashrc file or in bash generally will do the same as command source would do. Sorry to say so, but if you're going to work with FOAM on any unix/linux system,you'd better go to the library or google for some unix basics kick offs or some kind of tutorial to get familiar with the basics...... matej |
