Which specific version of RHEL and/or Rocks Linux?

The RPM packages meant for Fedora will likely not work on RHEL/CentOS/SL. One of the reasons is because Fedora is several generations ahead of RHEL/CentOS/SL.

Either way, you'll have to build from source: http://www.openfoam.org/download/source.php - but the detail is that GCC 4.5 is necessary, which RHEL 6.x and older do not provide by default.

If you have RHEL or Rocks Linux 6.4, then you can simply follow these instructions: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...HEL#CentOS_6.4

Best regards,
