I've installed 1.5 on my syste
 

I've installed 1.5 on my system (Ubuntu 8.04). When trying to source the 1.5.x bashrc file I get several messages saying that files are missing, all of them from a $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-dev directory. The 1.5.x files were all obtained through the git repository as per the instructions on the main website. Why is it looking for files in this directory?

This looks like a minor error
 

This looks like a minor error in the patches sent to the git update (ie, not your fault).

You have two possible ways to get it working:

1) In the first few lines of the bashrc file, simply uncomment the following line:

Old:
# export WM_PROJECT_VERSION=1.5.x

New:
export WM_PROJECT_VERSION=1.5.x


2) As an alternative, you can also simply set
export WM_PROJECT_VERSION=1.5.x
*before* sourcing the bashrc file. You might even find this preferrable. Note that the bashrc file also respects the setting of the FOAM_INST_DIR environment variable. You could thus write something like this for a relocatable and failsafe method of sourcing the OpenFOAM files:

# point to the base of all the OpenFOAM versions:
export FOAM_INST_DIR=$HOME/OpenFOAM

# locate the newest (best?) OpenFOAM
for version in 1.5.x 1.5
do
foamrc=$FOAM_INST_DIR/OpenFOAM-$version/etc/bashrc
if [ -r "$foamrc" ]
then
export WM_PROJECT_VERSION=$version
. $foamrc
break
fi
done

Thanks! I went with the first
 

Thanks! I went with the first option there and it seems to have worked fine. Hopefully I don't have any issues compiling now ;)

I tried to compile 1.5.x today
 

I tried to compile 1.5.x today using Allwmake. This was unsuccessful. The original compile took several hours, but I don't seem to have any solvers or utilities available. I tried compiling again and recorded the output into a log. I've uploaded the log to rapidshare at:

I'm really baffled here and I'm starting to wonder if my system isn't set up right, or if the git update is still screwy.

Here is a hint from your logfi
 

Here is a hint from your logfile:

/bin/sh: flex: not found

I'm having trouble with the git repository as well, not sure if its the same problem as Scott or not.

/Volumes/openFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5.x -> git pull
Updating ac96a58..e08258f
error: Entry 'etc/bashrc' not uptodate. Cannot merge.

Any suggestions?
