I am trying to install OpenFOAM 1.7.1 on my Fedora 12 64-bit system. I have not been able to install it successfully. I followed the instructions on the OpenFOAM website. The installation runs but has many errors. Here is the last line in the terminal after trying to install:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lOpenFOAM
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [/home/tony/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.1/applications/bin/linux64GccDPOpt/mixtureAdiabaticFlameT] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/tony/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.1/applications/utilities/thermophysical/mixtureAdiabaticFlameT'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tony/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.1/applications/utilities/thermophysical'
make: *** [thermophysical] Error 2

When I run the "foamInstallationTest" script this is what I get:
