This looks like what you get when you've added a line to the end of ~/.bashrc but you're running foamInstallationTest in a shell that hasn't had the benefit of that modification.
Try closing all your terminal sessions, open a new one, and run foamInstallationTest again. Regards, Graeme. |
Thanks Graeme

No, it's a completely different file. > FATAL ERROR Foam install directory not set. > > Set correct path to installation 'WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR' in /home/s/.foam2.3/bashrc > > this is the problem I think ,,, cant find this file either , No, I'm pretty sure that message is left over from a previous incarnation of OpenFOAM. There should be no .foam2.3 directory in the home directory. At this point I think you should take the files you've downloaded and put them in a safe place, then delete contents of the OpenFOAM directory and start again after reading http://www.opencfd.co.uk/openfoam/linux.html#linux Then go to the README file at ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4.1/README and take it from there. Note that you put the OpenFOAM*.gtgz files in the ~/OpenFOAM directory, change directory to there, and untar them in that directory. The other *.tgz files go into the ~/OpenFOAM/linux directory, you change directory to there and untar them there. Regards, Graeme. |

Using the installation guide and the readme ( which I couldnt find in OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4.1/README ( not there ) a) Downloaded the following files from www.openfoam.org OpenFOAM-1.4.1.General.gtgz OpenFOAM-1.4.1.linuxGccDPOpt.gtgz OpenFOAM-1.4.1.linuxGccSPOpt.gtgz I Saved these files to $home/OpenFOAM. by making # mkdir /home/OpenFOAM OpenFOAM directory is sitting next to my user directory gcc-4.1.1.linux.tgz paraview-2.4.4.linux.tgz j2sdk1.4.2.os.linux.tgz Save these files to $home/OpenFOAM/linux.

Install OpenFOAM-1.4.1 on Linux
Dear foamers,
i install OF-1.4.1 linux ,i download all files(OpenFOAM-1.4.1.General.gtgz,OpenFOAM-1.4.1.linuxGccDPOpt.gtgz,OpenFOAM-1.4.1.linuxGccSPOpt.gtgz,paraview-2.4.4.linux.tgz, j2sdk1.4.2.os.linux.tgz from www.openfoam.org or sourceforge.)except gcc-4.1.1.linux.tgz.i dont how to download gcc-4.1.1.linux.tgz file.please help me where i can get this file. |
Greetings Kumar,
You can get Gcc 4.1.2 from OpenFOAM 1.4: http://sourceforge.net/projects/foam/files/foam/1.4/ But for OpenFOAM 1.4.1, it seems that you should use at least Gcc 4.2.1: http://sourceforge.net/projects/foam/files/foam/1.4.1/ Either way, you don't need Gcc 4.1.1. Best regards, Bruno |
flapping wing
Dear Bruno,
really thanks for information,i am working in flapping wing analysis,for that i have to find lift,drag and thrust.right now i have the input data is(velocity=2m/s,throttle speed,and xyz coordinates of model with xyz data 33 rows and 225 columns in .csv file format,how i can create block mesh and how i can import all xyz coordinates allready i work OF 2.1 in that i work tutorials cavity,airfoil,but my laptop get crashed and i have little knowledge about OF,for this flapping wing my point of view is, step1.i import xyz coordinates of data and create block mesh 2. and create snappy hex mesh 3. solver is icofoam(laminar incompressible flow) but how i import my data and how i can start Please help Kind regards kumar. |
Hi Kumar,
I didn't even gather enough strength to answer you sooner. You've posted a question that isn't remotely related to this very old thread. If you want to get help on this forum, you better learn a bit more how it works: How To Get Help On The Message Board ;) Best regards, Bruno |
