Running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and following instructions detailed here.

When I source the bash with

Code:
foam-extend-3.1$ . etc/bashrc
I get

Code:
bash: /opt/foam-extend-3.1/bin/foamGetSystemInfo: No such file or directory
bash: /opt/foam-extend-3.1/bin/foamCleanPath: No such file or directory
bash: /opt/foam-extend-3.1/bin/foamCleanPath: No such file or directory
bash: /opt/foam-extend-3.1/bin/foamCleanPath: No such file or directory
bash: /opt/foam-extend-3.1/etc/settings.sh: No such file or directory
bash: /opt/foam-extend-3.1/etc/aliases.sh: No such file or directory
bash: /opt/foam-extend-3.1/bin/foamCleanPath: No such file or directory
bash: /opt/foam-extend-3.1/bin/foamCleanPath: No such file or directory
bash: /opt/foam-extend-3.1/bin/foamCleanPath: No such file or directory
Looking at etc/bashrc, in the user editable part, I've used the default which sets

Code:
foamInstall=$HOME/$WM_PROJECT
So why is it looking in /opt/?

I also have OpenFOAM installed, could this be an issue? I'm wondering whether I should remove it anyway. Are there any features in OpenFOAM that aren't in OpenFOAM extension?

Hi,

You have got OpenFOAM installed and seems to set up environment for it, that is why foam-extend is trying to look into /opt. Before ". etc/bashrc" issue "wmUNSET" command.

Many thanks alexeym, this worked! I definitely think I should just remove OpenFOAM as I can't find anything in OpenFOAM that's not in foam extend.

Some other conflicts I've found today is that paraFoam doesn't really work with the new foam extend case files but it also does not work as intended in previously functioning OpenFOAM case files. I'm working around this at the moment by just doing

Code:
$ touch anything.foam
$ paraview anything.foam

Not quite get what did you mean by "does not work as intended". And behavior of your commands can be achieved with "paraFoam -builtin" (though it is a matter of preferences).
