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: Code:
mkdir -p $FOAM_RUN Code:
mkdir: missing operand Try `mkdir --help' for more information. 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 |

Greetings Rachael and welcome to posting on this forum!
Fortunately, most of the solutions for your questions are already answered on the wiki:
Beyond this, I would need to know how exactly you installed each version, namely which installation instructions you followed. Best regards, Bruno

My guess is that you are not properly sourcing the environmental variables in your .bashrc. If you installed from the deb pack, try
Code:
source /opt/openfoam231/etc/bashrc |
