Summary

0000433: Installing OpenFOAM from the instructions with tcsh

Description

Instructions of OF installation at
http://www.openfoam.org/download/ubuntu.php [^]
don't work if you are using tcsh. That is not made clear upfront. The very first command does not work.
Also, the cshrc file is not up-to-date ... some of the $FOAM values are not the same as the bashrc. After fixing these issues on my local install (following the steps outlined on the webpage) - I could get icoFoam to work, but paraFoam did not work. Also, I could not run icoFoam in parallel (mpirun -np 2 icoFoam). I had to install Third-party directory in my home directory (installation in /opt would not work) and make appropriate changes in the cshrc file so that it could find the correct mpi
/home/username/ThirdParty-2.1.0/platforms/linux64Gcc/openmpi-1.5.3/bin/mpif77.

(0001064) mattijs (manager) 2012-02-24 09:10	Hello Jay, You are right in that the pre-built packs only support bash. I thought I was the only person left running tcsh ;-) so haven't done those tcsh scipts. Using the source pack (or git) and building it yourself should work ok under tcsh (that is how I am running) Mattijs
