Greetings yoddha24,

Which Ubuntu version and architecture are you using?

Best regards,

Hi yoddha24,

A quick question: Did you specify to install using the "quantal" repository?

Either way, try running paraFoam like this:
If it works, add the following line to your "~/.bashrc" file:
Start a new terminal or source the "~/.bashrc" file and it should work fine from now on!

Best regards,
Bruno
