I've been trying to run this tutorial (pimpleFoam, flies enclosed). Not sure why I'm getting this error:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
Cannot find file "points" in directory "polyMesh" in times "0" down to constant

From function virtual Foam::IOobject Foam::fileOperation::findInstance(const Foam::IOobject&, Foam::scalar, const Foam::word&) const
in file global/fileOperations/fileOperation/fileOperation.C at line 866.

FOAM exiting

I have run this command: ./Allrun, I also tried blockMesh directly, but I keep getting the same error. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hello,

This error is basically telling you the solver cannot find any mesh.
What is the output when running blockMesh?

Good news!
