Hi everyone,
I am a new user of OpenFoam and I am trying to run the fan tutorial. I get the following error when I try to compile the tutorial:

(the tutorial is in this web page of the last summer school in Chalmers:

http://www.tfd.chalmers.se/~hani/kurser/OS_CFD/ It is the first one on the list)

wmake

can anyone help me with that?

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

my guess you use 1.71 /opt/openfoam171
take a look at the sources of your fan example. if you find in the header something like
/*--------------------------------*- C++ -*----------------------------------*\
| ========= | |
| \\ / F ield | OpenFOAM: The Open Source CFD Toolbox |
| \\ / O peration | Version: 1.5 |
| \\ / A nd | Web: http://www.OpenFOAM.org |
| \\/ M anipulation | |
\*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/

the code syntax differs very much between versions 1.5 and 1.71 => do not mix Versions

Thnak you Elvis, you are right it is written for the version 1.5, it confused me in the tutorial that they said it should also work for 1.7 ... Thank you again, I guess I will have to install 1.5

Problem solved by compiling the tutorial using the 1.5.dev version. Tutorial works fine for the moment. Thank you Elvis for the idea.
