OpenFoam 2.1.1 x64 on Fedora 17

abCFD · January 14, 2013, 16:04

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to install OpenFoam on my new Fedora 17. I'm not really into the Linux environment, but even following the step-by-step instruction on openfoam.org I didn't succeed.

When I copy on the terminal the command:

Code:

sudo rpm -i http://www.openfoam.org/download/fedora/17/x86_64/OpenFOAM-2.1.1-1.x86_64.rpm

I get the following:

Code:

error: Failed dependencies:
        /bin/csh is needed by OpenFOAM-2.1.1-1.x86_64

did someone experienced the same?

is there any other documentation that I should read about installation?

Thanks!

Code:

yum install tcsh

will resolve the dependency if you are willing to live with the c shell being installed.
