Hi,

this is an indication that:
  • your FOAM environment is not loaded correctly
  • the applications were not compiled correctly
Did you install FOAM or compiled it yourself? In $FOAM_APPBIN you should have the checkMesh application and other one. If there is nothing, there is probably something wrong with your FOAM installation / compilation and you should investigate into that first. Bruno and others did a great job for collecting everything to the openfoamwiki. Have a look and you will find what you have to do
