hello

I've installed FOAM on my computer. I wanted to run the case 'cavity' in 'icoFoam'.

but when i dooble click on the root directory icon for icofoam i have


FoamXIOError

IOstream::check(const char* operation):error in IOstream"/home/gui/OpenFOAM/gui-1.4.1/run/tutorials/icoFoam/cavity/system/contro lDict" for operation IFstream::operator O in file /home/gui/OpenFOAM/gui-1.4.1/run/tutorials/icoFoam/cavity/system/controlDict
start at line 1

Do you want to edit /"/home/gui/OpenFOAM/gui-1.4.1/run/tutorials/icoFoam/cavity/system/controlDict?

if yes

Cannot open file /home/gui/OpenFOAM/gui-1.4.1/run/tutorials/icoFoam/cavity/system/controlDict for editing

I can open file with gedit but i don't know what to do

Any advice is appreciated

Best regards
Guillaume
