[OpenFOAM.org] sourcing bashrc in ksh

Bloerb · April 8, 2017, 08:36

I want to compile OpenFOAM-dev on a SL cluster. I changed the Installation path and tried sourcing the bashrc. I get the following message:

Code:

-ksh: .[45]: .[73]: declare: not found [No such file or directory]

There is also openfoam 4.0 installed on this cluster. When loading the module for it one gets the error

Code:

-ksh[401]: eval[1]: .[45]: .[73]: whence: -t: unknown option
Usage: whence [-afpqv] name  ...

It works without any problems though, compiling solvers and running simulations is not a problem. I also do not get these errors when I switch from ksh to bash. Since the bashrc tells me that it "Should be usable by any POSIX-compliant shell (eg, ksh)" i can't understand these messages. The standard login shell for the users is ksh, hence I'd like to remove those messages. Maybe someone can help.

Quick answer: Please report this on the bug tracker: https://bugs.openfoam.org/my_view_page.php

I have also read that statement for ksh, but I've never used it myself, so I was assuming that someone else on the contributors list were testing with it. Please do report this on the bug tracker and I'll try to look into this as soon as I can too.
