Hi Folks,

Been using OF-1.6 on a Linux Mint 8 (Helena) install for about 3 weeks with no problems.

Have started looking at compiling my own Boundary Conditions, and discovered that the $FOAM_USER_APPBIN and $FOAM_USER_LIBBIN environment variables are not set (or not valid). They appear to need to be set properly to compile new Boundary Conditions.

The results of my installation test give this:

Checking the OpenFOAM env variables set on the PATH...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Environment_variable Set_to_file_or_directory Valid Path Crit
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$WM_PROJECT_DIR /home/nathan/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6 yes yes yes

$FOAM_APPBIN ...1.6/applications/bin/linux64GccDPOpt yes yes yes
$FOAM_SITE_APPBIN ...penFOAM/site/1.6/bin/linux64GccDPOpt no no
$FOAM_USER_APPBIN ...1.6/applications/bin/linux64GccDPOpt no no
$WM_DIR /home/nathan/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6/wmake yes yes yes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Checking the OpenFOAM env variables set on the LD_LIBRARY_PATH...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Environment_variable Set_to_file_or_directory Valid Path Crit
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$FOAM_LIBBIN ...OAM/OpenFOAM-1.6/lib/linux64GccDPOpt yes yes yes
$FOAM_SITE_LIBBIN ...penFOAM/site/1.6/lib/linux64GccDPOpt no no
$FOAM_USER_LIBBIN ...nFOAM/nathan-1.6/lib/linux64GccDPOpt no no
$MPI_ARCH_PATH ...nmpi-1.3.3/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt yes yes yes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How can I initialise these two environment variables to make them valid, and where should they point when they are set up correctly?

Any help greatly appreciated...

They should be set properly after sourcing etc/bashrc. Try:

Code:
source /path/to/openfoam/etc/bashrc
echo $FOAM_USER_APPBIN

Hi Bastil,

Thanks for your help. It seems that the problem was that the directory locations that APPBIN and LIBBIN pointed to did not exist. I created them manually, and now they seem to work ok.

Not sure why they were missing though. Possibly a difference between the compiled version and running from binaries.
