blockMesh error
 
Hello everyone,

I'm trying to install OpenFoam 1.6 on Ubuntu 9.10 64 Bit.
I've followed the canonical procedure to install it...
I was put to the task of testing out the install and tried to do the first tutorial, Lid-Driven Cavity Flow. For whatever reason, when I run the command blockMesh (yes, I've made sure that I type it in as blockMesh), I get "-bash: blockMesh: command not found."

I don't really have a clue as to what is going on with it (other than that it either wasn't made or isn't linked correctly): any help would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot,

Giancarlo

Did you add the appropriate lines to your .bashrc file?

Yes.. I've already done it...

Strange ...

Did you even source the .bashrc afterwards (restart the terminal)?
Any messages when opening a new terminal?

Yes, I've source .bashrc..

Anyway when I've test the Installation it has found a CRITICAL ERROR :
