I'm guessing here, but this was probably installed from the Deb packages and therefore following those exact instructions lead to not having the necessary permissions to write the file objects for the respective source code. The fix necessary to be done here is that the OpenFOAM User Guide, in subsection 3.2.4, should refer back to subsection 3.2.2.3 regarding building solvers in the user's own folders, instead of hacking directly in the "original" source code. |

Fixed the documentation on this. Updated online: http://www.openfoam.org/docs/user/compiling-applications.php ... and the PDF User Guide will be updated in future releases. Thanks for reporting (mattk242) and review (wyldckat). |
