Hi Robert,
I never had this problem, but I know it was discussed many times on the forum. Just search for it and you'll find your solution (search: libibery, first result: Cannot find liberty).

hm, well the problem is that i have already done everything what is mentioned there :-)

Ok, so do you have the library in the mentioned path OpenFOAM/linux/gcc-4.2.1/lib/libiberty.a ?
If you don't, then you need to install it. One way is to compile yourself the latest gcc.
Another way (I found this on google - search ubuntu libiberty) is to install binutils-dev. It should be included with it.
