Hi,

I am a beginner in LINUX/OpenFOAM. I recently installed a dual boot (Xp, Ubuntu) on my computer. I want to install OpenFOAM 1.5 so I have download and unpack the files in home/cj9998/OpenFOAM directory since I cannot add folder in "home". I am stuck in the third point of the readme file (installation).

Firstly, I run the foamSystemCheck script and all are OK!

I run "echo $SHELL" and the result is : /bin/bash

From this, I have to add the following line to the end of my $home/.bashrc file:
$home/cj9998/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5/etc/bashrc

How can I do this? If I open bashrc with "gedit ~/.bashrc, the file open and I can add the previous line at the end. I am not sure that this manner is OK!

After that, I have to update the environment variables by sourcing the $home/.bashrc file by typing in the terminal:
~/.bashrc
The following result is obtained: bash: /home/cj9998/.bashrc: Permission denied

Please, can you help me solving the problem?
