Hi OpenFOAM users,

This is my first post and I am fairly new to OpenFOAM so I will try to be clear and concise with my problem:

I recently upgraded my laptop to a MacbookPro with VirtualBox to run Ubuntu 12.04.

I thought I would give OpF v2.3.0 a go. After installation I attempted to compile one of my solvers and ran into a problem with the IObasicSourceList.H. After following a few threads with no luck I decided I would go back to OpF v2.1.1 knowing that my solvers should be able to compile as is.

Without uninstalling v2.3.0 I installed v2.1.1, because I had read that it wasn't a problem to have two versions running. While following all installation steps I ran into problems when running the command:

mkdir -p $FOAM_RUN

I was returned the following:

mkdir: missing operand
Try `mkdir --help' for more information.

I then proceeded to remove v.2.30 and attempted removing and reinstalling v2.1.1 but am still unable to get the folder working.

I fear I may have accidentally removed something important in the process.

I haven't been able to find a similar problem while trolling these threads. So I hope someone might be able to help walk me through it.

Many thanks in advance,

Rachael
