I'm setting up OpenFoam on a cluster. I have a remote host that I want to attache to the cluster with. I tried to execute runFoamX on the remote host to attach to the runFoamXHB on the cluster.. however the runFoamX file IS NOT found on the remote machine. I installed OpenFoam on the remote host and ran the installation test which passed. FoamX runs fine on the remote host as well. Has anyone run into this issue?
Here are my OpenFOAM installation test results
Executing ./foamInstallationTest:

- Try to execute 'FoamX' instead.
- running with runFoamXHB on a different machine requires FoamX to see the 'ns.ref' file. Why do you want to run runFoamXHB on a different machine? FoamX/runFoamXHB is just an editor of files; you can still run programs (i.e. icoFoam) on the cluster even if you run FoamX on your local machine.
