i'm obviously doing something wrong but i'm to much of a newbie to know how to fix it
it looks like the bashrc but i have no idea how to edit that over ssh

look at that part:

FATAL ERROR: /home1/me/mea02jgp/.OpenFOAM-1.3/bashrc does not appear to be sourced from:

> but i have no idea how to edit that over ssh
use vi, not my favourite, but it is installed on any system

[jonititan]

cool i've nailed the bashrc problem but it still isn't recognising commands such as blockMesh
i think its because the gcc compiler is out of date
or something like that

[mattijs]

If you make sure your directory structure is exactly like

http://www.opencfd.co.uk/openfoam/linux.html

and then unpack (tar xzf ...) all, the whole setup should work once you do that

. /home1/me/mea02jgp/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.3/.OpenFOAM-1.3/bashrc

[jonititan]

is there any way to change the install path?
i tried messing with the bashrc file in .openfoam-1.2
but that dosen't seem to have worked
