Greetings Nitin,

I was going to say that you had forgotten to run "of210" in the terminal, but now I noticed that you missed an important letter:

• You have this:
  Quote:

  alias of210='source $HOME/openFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.0/etc/bashrc'

• When you should have this:
  Code:

  ---

  alias of210='source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.0/etc/bashrc'

  ---

It's "OpenFOAM", not "openFOAM" ;)


Best regards,
Bruno

Dear Bruno thanks for your reply, as per your suggestions i have changed the folder name from openFOAM to OpenFOAM, also accordingly changed path in .bashrc file as below
alias of201='source /opt/openfoam201/etc/bashrc'
alias of210='source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.0/etc/bashrc'

but when i m getting for compilation of for gettting source code to work follwing msg is shown in terminal

administrator@ubuntu:~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.0$ ./Allwmake
./Allwmake: 9: wmakeCheckPwd: not found
Error: Current directory is not $WM_PROJECT_DIR
The environment variables are inconsistent with the installation.
Check the OpenFOAM entries in your dot-files and source them.

kindly waiting for reply.. thanks in advance

Hi Nitin,

1. Start a new terminal.
2. Run:
   Code:

   ---

   echo $WM_PROJECT_DIR

   ---

   It shouldn't output anything. If it does output anything, then your .bashrc file is contaminated with an OpenFOAM related line that isn't using "alias" at the beginning of that line.
3. If all OK, run:
   Code:

   ---

   of210

   ---

4. Run:
   Code:

   ---

   cd $WM_PROJECT_DIR

   ---

5. Where did you land? If you landed in the correct folder, now you can run Allwmake.

Hi Bruno,
As you said i started with new terminal and with correct working directory that is the folder in which OpenFoam2.1.0 is extracted and now i m able to compile source code by using ./Allwmake.

Thanks alot Bruno its working now with your valuable suggestions...
