Greetings Phanindra,

If you run this command:

Code:

source /opt/openfoam222/etc/bashrc

Does it give the same error message?

Keep in mind that this command will not work:

Code:

source /opt/openFoam222/etc/bashrc

This is because Linux is case-sensitive, unlike Windows which is only case-preserving.

Best regards,
Bruno

I found the error in my Terminal after installing OPEN FOAM, i am using UBUNTU 12.04 as an operating system.
bash: /opt/openfoam222/etc/bashrc: No such file or directory
Same error was found when i type the following command..
source /opt/openfoam222/etc/bashrc

Please Help me solving it. This is something new for me.
