I am also on a domain controlled computer.
When sourcing /opt/openfoam4/etc/bashrc
and opening a new bash terminal I get the following error
sed: -e expression #1, char 72: unknown option to `s'
sed: -e expression #1, char 111: unknown option to `s'

The worse part of this is that PATH
gets completely overwritten!
I can fix some of this by getting rid of line 154 in /opt/openfoam4/etc/bashrc
. That reduces to the following error
sed: -e expression #1, char 72: unknown option to `s'
sed: -e expression #1, char 111: unknown option to `s'
sed: -e expression #1, char 111: unknown option to `s'
If I am running in zsh (yes, I know it says bashrc) I get
sed: -e expression #1, char 72: unknown option to `s'
/opt/openfoam4/etc/config.sh/aliases:73: bad option: -t
If I enter bash and type wmRefresh
it overwrites PATH
and I now have no access to simple commands like ls
. ( Removing the -t
in that line reduces the last error in zsh but adds the line bash: type: wmRefresh: not found
into the list of errors for bash.) Which is strange because the comment above line 73 in /opt/openfoam4/etc/config.sh/aliases
says For backward-compatibility unalias wmRefresh if it is defined as an alias
.
Working through this one I see that which wmRefresh
and alias wmRefresh
return nothing. So getting the same behaviour in both shells ( and a lack of care for backwards compatibility at this point ) I found that I could just remove lines 74-80 in /opt/openfoam4/etc/config.sh/aliases
. Note that if I just removed line 73 bash would have PATH
overwritten again ( why ever modify PATH
when we have other environment variables? ).
So at this point I am only left with the sed errors ( 1 in zsh and 3 in bash ). I cannot tell that I am getting any errors* in using OpenFoam, but as you might imagine it is quite annoying seeing multiple errors every time I open a new shell. I have been attempting to resolve these issues by looking at where sed
has been used, but I'm not seeing a problem. It doesn't appear to be a sed
command within /opt/openfoam4/etc
, and grepping a directory back results is quite a log of commands.
So I am wondering if anyone else has had this error and solved it.
*To check validity through modifications I am just run the cavity icoFoam case, checking for the known solution.
