greetings all,

I recently installed ubuntu 11.04 on my computer and i am trying to install OF, but i am getting some errors. Ive used ubuntu and OF, but i did not encounter any problems then. I am somewhat new to ubuntu/linux,

I am following the installation commands from here:
http://www.openfoam.com/download/ubuntu.php

After I run the >>sudo apt-get updates (it runs the update but at the end i get this message

W: Failed to fetch http://www.openfoam.com/download/ubu...-i386/Packages 404 Not Found

W: Failed to fetch http://www.openfoam.com/download/ubu...-i386/Packages 404 Not Found

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
>>~$ sudo apt-get install openfoam201
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

I didnt ant to continue the installation commands, until i have fixed this. I would really appreciate it if someone can please, please help me. Thanks

Ricardo,

For the first installation step, replace the term $VERS with natty, then the installation should work.

Enjoy!

VERS=`lsb_release -cs`
sudo sh -c "echo deb http://www.openfoam.org/download/ubuntu $VERS main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openfoam.list"

I have similar problems.

sorry, do u mean to replace "VERS" with "11.10" ? What should I input for this VERS?

I installed "Ubuntu Desktop 11.10 desktop i386" system.

thanks.

Hi Chen,

OK, now I remember, run this modified command (in bold is the change):

sudo sh -c "echo deb http://www.openfoam.org/download/ubuntu natty main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openfoam.list"

This is because 2.0.1 doesn't exist for oneiric, so you have to try and use a version that was meant for another Ubuntu version.

But keep in mind that you might run into problems, since there might be some backwards compatibility issues, so you might have to build from source if those problems occur.

Good luck!
Bruno
