Hello, I ma installing OpenFOAM on a Gentoo machine and can't seem to get the environment variables right. Gentoo is a little different then what is posted in the installation instructions so I created a file called 99OpenFOAM in my /etc/env.d/ directory and ran env-update. In that file I put:

# /etc/env.d/99OpenFOAM

PATH="/programs/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6/bin"
ROOTPATH="/programs/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6/bin"
LDPATH="/programs/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6/lib"
FOAM_INST_DIR="/programs/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6/etc/bashrc"
CC="gcc"
CXX="g++"

and when I ran 'foamInstallationTest' I get

Executing /programs/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6/bin/foamInstallationTest:


Checking basic setup...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FATAL ERROR: OpenFOAM environment not configured.

Please refer to the installation section of the README file:
<OpenFOAM installation dir>/OpenFOAM-1.6/README
to source the OpenFOAM environment.

Has anyone here installed OpenFOAM on a gentoo machine before?

Thanks
Scott

BTW, I did an 'env-update' after editing 99OpenFOAM
