Hi,

Which OS you are trying to install OpenFOAM on? If you use OpenSUSE, then, it is quite stright foreward.

Hi. I'm use Ubuntu 9.10. 32bit mode

Hi,

Sorry, I do not use Ubuntu. But, I remember that there are a couple of threads on installing OpenFOAM on Ubuntu. Did you do a search on that topic?

Did you try using the cookbook? There have been mixed results with 9.10, but it might work for you. Otherwise I recommend using an older ubuntu version, as the cookbook works very reliable with those.

hello ,
I recently installed OpenFoam-1.6.x on Ubuntu 8.04 32 bit version using the cook book given on
http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...-cookbook.html

I think there should be no problem in installing on Ubuntu 9.04.Just copy the contents of the script and put it in a file and then make the file executable. Also install apt, sudo and git before you run the script.

I assume that you are familiar with Linux, if you have any problems in doing this let me know.

Another important thing is in my case the Pv3FoamReader gave an error and my compilation was not succesful so i compiled the Pv3FoamReader and paraview sepeartely as explained in the OpenFoam website

I Have fixed ma problem. I have edit the bashrc in the OpenFORM directory. But you have to edit the .bashhrc in your home directory.

Everything works fine.

Thanks to all !
