Hi Giuseppe,

you need to source the OpenFOAM bashrc-file form your .bashrc

>You need the following at the end of your >/root/.bashrc file:
>. /root/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.3/.OpenFOAM-1.3/bashrc

Personnally i wouldn't install it as root, i find it more convenient to install in my local accout
$HOME/OpenFOAM

regards
Markus
