Hi, I am installing foam-extend-3.0 under my debian-6.0 (sqeeze, 64bit) operating system. When I chosen the system installed QT4 in default, then a error triggered by QT4,as follows,

------------------- -------------------------------------------
CMake Error at /home/liweiwei/foam/foam-extend-3.0/ThirdParty/packages/cmake-2.8.12/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:108 (message):
Could NOT find Qt4: Found unsuitable version "4.6.3", but required is at
least "4.7.0" (found /usr/bin/qmake)

then in the foam/foam-extend-3.0/etc/prefs.sh, I comment "export QT_THIRD_PARTY=1" and uncomment "export QT_DIR=path_to_system_installed_qt" and "export QT_BIN_DIR=$QT_DIR/bin". But during the installation, another error exsits as follows.

Should I update QT4 to the version of 4.7.4 in my system directly? But openfoam-1.6-ext is already installed in my debian OS. If I update it, Will this impact openfoam-1.6-ext?

I think I've seen this recently - we had to change the version of qt for PV-4.0.1.

Let me have a look; alternatively, please just update the qt version or download binary Paraview. I mostly use the built-in-reader because it supports decomposed run post-processing.

Apologies for inconvenience; the rest of the code should work fine.

Thanks very much. I don`t have root privilege for my office PC. So I don`t update the QT. But Before I have already installed of-1.6-ext, I use foam-extend-3.0 to run the simulation, then use paraFoam in of-1.6-ext to do post-process.

Greetings to all!

@dowlee: Just a reminder that you can update your current "foam-extend-3.0" folder (as of 17th of February), you should be able to build Qt 4.8.5 and ParaView 4.0.1 with success. To update, try running these commands:

cd $WM_PROJECT_DIR
git pull

cd ThirdParty
./AllMake.pre > log.AllMake 2>&1

cd ..
source etc/bashrc
./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1

Best regards,
Bruno
