I get this too (attempting to install openfoam 4.1 on CAElinux2013)
At least I do sometimes...I've made it work too, but not sure how...

The instructions for installing Openfoam4.1 on ubuntu 12.04 from the Openfoamwiki.net are the best to go by...

the cMake wget line doesn't work, but you can use the script wyldcat put together doing the same thing from the openfoam 2.3.1 instructions "getCmake"

---
I've made it work once, on re-attempts get this error...

It's to do with the run path being wrong in bachrc?

if someone can explain a bit more about what is going wrong and why, would really help....


I'll keep trying and post back if I find a good solution.

Great stuff here, love what everyone is doing!

Thanks again

All looked fine in paraView etc.

I then tried to run simpleFoam and got the following error:

I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks, Adam

I get the same after compile from source of Openfoam 4.1 on Ubuntu 12.04...

have you solve this question?

[wyldckat]

Quick answer: The problem is that the solver was executed within the wrong folder... notice that there are 2 folders "system" within the path it complains about: "cube/system/system/controlDict"

The solution should be to go back to the case folder, instead of trying to run the command from within the "system" folder. You can go back to the previous folder by running this command:

cd ..

I've answered your question in the other thread. As for the last statement on this post above:

It's explained in the User Guide: http://www.openfoam.org/docs/user/controlDict.php - and demonstrated in several tutorials.
You can find all tutorials that use this feature by running this command:

find $FOAM_TUTORIALS -name controlDict | xargs grep -sl "adjustTimeStep"

For more information on how to search for more information in files present in OpenFOAM: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...hing_for_files

Best regards,
Bruno

Dear Bruno

Unfortunately, again I can't find this file

cannot find file "C:/Afshin/InterfaceShapes/RectangularChannel/50/p"

What's the problem????????
