Intstalling the Source Pack of OpenFOAM 1.7.1

I'm trying to install the source pack of OpenFOAM 1.7.1 on a server location where I don't have access to the .cshrc file (I'm using csh).

So I follow the instructions (http://www.openfoam.com/archive/1.7....oad/source.php) as best I can but once I run the ./Allwmake and it finishes I run the ./foamInstallationCheck and it returns this:

Code:

Executing ./foamInstallationTest:





Checking basic setup...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



FATAL ERROR: OpenFOAM environment not configured.



    Please refer to the installation section of the README file:

    <OpenFOAM installation dir>/OpenFOAM-1.7.1/README

    to source the OpenFOAM environment.

But as far as I can tell I've set the environment variables correctly and I don't see any other way to set them then the way defined in the installation instructions.

Any suggestions?

Greetings Walter,

You don't have access? The file should be in your home folder! Namely "$HOME/.cshrc". Now, it's a whole other issue if the $HOME variable is undefined. To check this by running:

Code:

echo $HOME

If it outputs nothing, then this is what's going wrong with your installation.

Allwmake should have complained in the same way as foamInstallationCheck! You should have seen a million error messages!

You could have said how exactly you set those variables. It would be a lot easier for us to figure out what happened :(
