Hi,

I need OpenFOAM 1.7.x for my work, but I'm having difficulties installing it. Unfortunately the IT regulations of my employer prohibit connecting Linux machines to the Internet, so I cannot use git to install the version 1.7.x. I have downloaded the OpenFOAM 1.7.x source code on another machine and copied it to my CAElinux machine.

The first step in the installation process is setting the environment variables. But when I try to source etc/bashrc file, I just get an error message:

: command not found
: command not found
: command not found
: command not found
': not a valid identifierDIR
: command not found
: command not found
'ash: etc/bashrc: line 78: syntax error near unexpected token `
'ash: etc/bashrc: line 78: `_foamSource()

I don't really have an idea what's happening here. I have OpenFOAM 1.7.1 installed and working. Sourcing the 1.7.1-version of bashrc works fine. My install directory is the standard $HOME/OpenFOAM/ where the different versions are in their respective folders.

Do I need to do something before I can run the etc/bashrc script or why does it not work?

Thank you for your help,
Joel
