My original openfoam version is 3.0.1, whose files are located on in opt/openfoam30. Now I want to install another vesion-OpenFOAM-v1706. And I have put the files at ~HOME/OPENFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1706. I want to set these two aliases in .bashrc as follows:

alias of30='source /opt/openfoam30/etc/bashrc'
alias of1706='source ~/OPENFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1706/OpenFOAM-v1706/etc/bashrc'

But it can not switch over succsessfully.

So I corrected .bashrc to the original one: source /opt/openfoam30/etc/bashrc

But the following mistake always happen when opening the terminal:
bash: /home/olmati/.bashrc: line 122: syntax error: unepected end of file

I checked my .bashrc file. It only had 121 rows. NO line 122.

Could somebody has this experience? Many thanks

Quick answer: I don't know if you've solved the problem, but I suspect that this line:

alias of1706='source ~/OPENFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1706/OpenFOAM-v1706/etc/bashrc'

was meant to be instead:

alias of1706='source ~/OPENFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1706/etc/bashrc'

As for the latest error, my guess is that there was a lost quote ' somewhere on those last lines that you edited and that was why Bash was complaining that something was wrong after the last line of the file... since the quote mark ' did not have a corresponding pair to close it.
