thank you

do you mean OpenFOAM.1.6-ext, because OpenFOAM.1.6 is some how an old version, i recommend you to install latest version from here (http://www.openfoam.org/download/)

Thank you very much Mr Sam. you ment this old openfoal can't be installed on this version of linux at all?

if you insist to install this version no matter why, then i feel you may want to try binary installation

thank you i have installed 2.0.1 at last

Greetings to all!

@Zandi: Gcc 4.4.3 will only work if you can use OpenFOAM 1.6.x (not 1.6-ext): http://www.openfoam.org/archive/1.6/download/git.php
For installing OpenFOAM 1.6.x you can also try the Nucleation installation scripts: http://code.google.com/p/nucleation/

OpenFOAM 1.6 has to be built with Gcc 4.3.3 or greater, but only in the Gcc 4.3 series.
In Ubuntu 10.04 you can install this series with this command:
Then....
... I've seen now that you have already installed OpenFOAM 2.0.1... oh well :rolleyes:.

Best regards,
Bruno

Thank you very much Bruno for useful reply. I would try it if is necessary in future:p
thank you all
