I'm trying to run Francis99 turbine case. At the first step of running my case I have to run potentialFoam solver which gave me this error:

Create time

Create mesh for time = 0

Then I added this dictionary to fvSolutions:

potentialFlow
{
    nNonOrthogonalCorrectors 0;
}

which gave me this error:

    You are probably trying to solve for a field with a generic boundary condition.

I should say that case has a custom boundary condition that is included with the case file. I' had tried to use it by compiling that with "wmake libso"
original case is built with FOAM-extend 3.1

I don't know where is the problem & I appreciate any help.

For those who may come up with this problem, the Last error belongs to the implemented boundary condition. I recompiled the boundary condition error was solved:

wmake libso

I don't know why, but "wmake" alone didn't work and gave me lots of errors about "undefined reference to ..."
What is the difference between "wmake" & "wmake libso"?
