Hi,

I am a new user facing some problems:

I have a problem when I try to compile my solver, running wmake, it tells me:

"sudo: wmake: command not found"

I have openFOAM 2.1.1. I do modify my .bashrc to include the path to openFOAM's bashrc.

Do you know what can it be?. Thank you.

Greetings Luis and welcome to the forum!

I know I've written about this quite a few times here on the forum, and here are a few links to what I've written in the past:

Beyond this, please provide more context to what exactly you're trying to do.


Best regards,
Bruno
