Hi.

I've installed OF a few times but this is getting annoying. Can anyone point me my mistake?
Im giving the inputs and outputs. I already sourced the files. I cannot proceed with installation.

[70|/opt/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-4.0]:pwd
/opt/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-4.0
[71|/opt/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-4.0]:cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR
[72|/opt/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-4.0]:pwd
/opt/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-4.0
[73|/opt/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-4.0]:grep "bashrc" $HOME/.bashrc
# ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells.
# this, if it's already enabled in /etc/bash.bashrc and /etc/profile
# sources /etc/bash.bashrc).
source /opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-4.0/etc/bashrc
[74|/opt/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-4.0]:sudo ./Allwmake
./Allwmake: 34: ./Allwmake: wmakeCheckPwd: not found
Error: Current directory is not $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR
    The environment variables are inconsistent with the installation.
    Check the OpenFOAM entries in your dot-files and source them.
[75|/opt/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-4.0]:grep "FOAM_INST_DIR" /opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-4.0/etc/bashrc
# FOAM_INST_DIR is the location of the OpenFOAM installation which defaults to
export FOAM_INST_DIR=${BASH_SOURCE%/*/*/*} || \
#export FOAM_INST_DIR=/opt/$WM_PROJECT
# export FOAM_INST_DIR=~$WM_PROJECT
 export FOAM_INST_DIR=/opt/$WM_PROJECT
# export FOAM_INST_DIR=/usr/local/$WM_PROJECT
# $FOAM_INST_DIR/site/$WM_PROJECT_VERSION or $FOAM_INST_DIR/site
export WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR=$FOAM_INST_DIR
[76|/opt/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-4.0]:

Thanks in advance.

Quick answer: Sorry for the late reply. It very likely has to do with the way you switched to root mode, because apparently the ".bashrc" file was not processed.

Have you tried running:

source /opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-4.0/etc/bashrc

directly on the command line, to enforce that the environment is loaded?

Beyond this, I do have to ask: Why are you building OpenFOAM directly as root? Is your machine being shared with others?
I ask this because as a precautionary measure, you should build OpenFOAM as a normal user and then later move/copy the installation to "/opt" and change the permissions for that folder.
Running commands as root can be risky, since one wrong command may destroy the system installation that you currently have on your machine and be forced to reinstall everything.

Hi Bruno.

It's just that i got used to installing it in /opt then copying cases to the home directory to run or to $FOAM_RUN

Anyways, after trying it a bit more i managed to install everything but still something was messed up. I open new terminals to check the validity of the bashrc file. It used to work fine. Dunno what happened.

Bottom line, after giving up and restarting the pc the other day, it seems that it's normal now.. go figure, lol. i'm using ubuntu 14.04.

I did noticed that they changed the folder/version naming style.... from OpenFOAM-vx.x to OpenFOAM-x.x (if im not mistaken) .. just to make the installation annoying when something goes wrong

Anyways, thank you for the feedback
