CFD Online Discussion Forums - Re : Problem Installing OpenFOAM on Centos -5.3

Dear All,

Thanks for your time.

I am new to OpenFOAM. I am using Centos 5.3 . When I am trying to compile OpenFOAM-1.6.x, it shows the following error. Any help will really appricate .

I did the following steps :

# yum install git flex python python-devel binutils binutils-devel qt4 qt4-devel wget cmake zlib zlib-devel

$ mkdir OpenFOAM
$ cd OpenFOAM
$ wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/foa...se_mirror=mesh
$ wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/foa...se_mirror=mesh
$ tar xfz ThirdParty-1.6.General.gtgz
$ tar xfz ThirdParty-1.6.linuxGcc.gtgz
$ ln -s ~/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.6 ~/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.6.x
$ git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/OpenFOAM-1.6.x.git
$ cd OpenFOAM-1.6.x/

$ echo ". ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/etc/bashrc" >> ~/.bashrc

$ ./Allwmake
