How Can I solve the problem? Thank you,

Dear sfakim, I have seen this error with older versions of CMake. Currently, I'm using version 3.10.2. I have some systems, where CMake 3.5 is installed. Which CMake version do you use? Regards, Hannes

Hello Hannes, I have installed latest version of CMake which is 3.12.1.

The error message is a bit unspecific unfortunately and many reasons are possible. I just came across one possibility: cmake shall search for the "bashrc" of different possible OpenFOAM installations. Sometimes it picks up the wrong one and this error is emitted because the scripts return garbage and this garbage is passed to REGEX. You might check the CMakeCache.txt Search for "_BASHRC" and check whether there are sensible values detected for all entries (especially they should contain "OF*_BASHRC-NOTFOUND", if the OpenFOAM version under consideration is not present.
