hi formers
i have of2.1.1
but now i want to install of2.3.0
i do all steps in the openFoam.com site
but i have this error

./Allwmake: 4: ./Allwmake: wmakeCheckPwd: not found
Error: Current directory is not $WM_PROJECT_DIR
The environment variables are inconsistent with the installation.
Check the OpenFOAM entries in your dot-files and source them.

i read the page

http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...oject_dir.html


but i canot solve my problem
thanks

[imani]

no one can help me?

[cdm]

Check what value is stored in the $WM_PROJECT_DIR.

echo $WM_PROJECT_DIR

If it is not the installation directory for openfoam230 (for e.g., /home/user/openfoam230/) then you need to source the openfoam230 bashrc.

Make sure you do not have the line

source $HOME/openfoam211/etc/bashrc

in your local bashrc file ($HOME/.bashrc).

If you do, you should change it to

alias foam211='source $HOME/openfoam211/etc/bashrc'

and add

alias foam230='source $HOME/openfoam230/etc/bashrc'

Then when you open a terminal, source the version you want to use by typing either foam211 or foam230.

Once this is set up, you can run ./Allwmake after sourcing the openfoam230 bashrc.

(The above assumes you installed OpenFOAM v2.3.0 in your user $HOME directory.)

Hope that helps.

hi
thanks for your attention
when i run
echo $WM_PROJECT_DIR

i dont have any output in terminal .... just a blank line !!!! like bellow

dell@ubuntu:~$ echo $WM_PROJECT_DIR

dell@ubuntu:~$

i dont understand your meaning about local bashrc file
i have two bashrc file : one in openFoam2.1.1 file and other in openFoam2.3.0 file
in these basrc files i change end of it to :
alias of230='source $HOME/openfoam230/etc/bashrc'
alias of211='source $HOME/openfoam211/etc/bashrc'
when i put ./Allwmake in terminal

dell@ubuntu:~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.0$ ./Allwmake

i have this output :

./Allwmake: 4: ./Allwmake: wmakeCheckPwd: not found
Error: Current directory is not $WM_PROJECT_DIR
The environment variables are inconsistent with the installation.
Check the OpenFOAM entries in your dot-files and source them.

[cdm]

You need to add

alias of230='source $HOME/openfoam230/etc/bashrc'
alias of211='source $HOME/openfoam211/etc/bashrc'

in the file $HOME/.bashrc and not in the OpenFOAM etc/bashrc files. $HOME/.bashrc is your local bashrc file (for sourcing all scripts and environment variables, not just for OpenFOAM). If you don't have a .bashrc file, it may be under a different name depending on your Linux distribution. Google search should help you there.

Then, open a new terminal, type of230, and run ./Allwmake in the openfoam230 directory.

I think you have to first check your .bashrc file in your home folder. It is a hidden file so you should enable 'Show hidden files' button if you use window manager. The file named .bashrc must have an ending like @cdm said:

Adding to Emre's answer:

• Start a new terminal and run the following command:
  

  alias

  and it will also tell you which aliases are defined in the current terminal.

Thank you Emre, actually I have added the lines to my .bashrc file as cdm suggested.

alias ofdev='source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-dev/etc/bashrc'
alias ofv30='source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v3.0+/etc/bashrc'

But it still failed. When I typed 'alias' in terminal, it showed two aliases above haven't been defined...

When I type 'echo $WM_PROJECT_DIR', my dir is still $HOME/openfoam/openfoam-dev(The version I have installed).

There is a strange thing: I have install openfoam-dev in my computer before, but in the ending of my .bashrc files, no "source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-dev/etc/bashrc" existed at first...

Thank you Bruno, I have done things as cdm and Emre suggested:
“alias ofdev='source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-dev/etc/bashrc'
alias ofv30='source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v3.0+/etc/bashrc'”
was added to my ./bashrc file. But it still failed.
When I typed 'alias' in terminal, it showed two aliases above haven't been defined...In the link you gave me, I cannot find how to solve this problem.
Here is some information I get after I added two aliases in ./bashrc
1.When I type 'echo $WM_PROJECT_DIR', my dir is still $HOME/openfoam/openfoam-dev (The version I have installed).
2.There is a strange thing: I have installed openfoam-dev in my computer before, but at the very beginning, no "source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-dev/etc/bashrc" existed in the ending of my .bashrc files...

Quick answer:

1. Run the following command:
   

   grep -i "openfoam" ~/.bash*

   It will reveal the majority of the environments being loaded-in automatically. It might tell you that there is more than one file with lines referring to OpenFOAM.
2. After you modify the ".bash*" files to all use alias, then start a new terminal and try checking again.

Thanks so much, Bruno! Now I have solved my problem and of v3.0+ is compiling in my book ^_^.

Bruno, thanks for your replies on this thread! I have the same issue as the above posters, except that I only have one OF installation (2.3.1) and therefore only one alias. GCC 5.4.0, CUDA 8.0, Ubuntu 16.04.
The specific error message is below. Thank you for your help!

Error: Current directory is not /root/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.1
Error: Current directory is not $WM_PROJECT_DIR
The environment variables are inconsistent with the installation.
Check the OpenFOAM entries in your dot-files and source them.

"~" is a syombol refer to "$HOME"
and "$HOME" is home directory of a user.


"echo $HOME" will show what it is.



mostly, "$HOME" refer to "/home/<your user name>/"
specially, when user name is "root", "$HOME" refer to "/root/"


seems like you are using "sudo" or login as root. It's not recommend.

What does WM mean in the beginning of WM_PROJECT_DIR at all? Is it abbreviation for wmake?

Thanks, but I want to know where does WM name originated from; what is the rational behind it? I have heard that this is abbreviated for "Weller Make"!
