what the warning mean?

the first error of my log

I have looked throw the other posts about installation of OpenFOAM in IA64 system, there're something similar to mine.
but I don't know the exact solutions.
Thx first!

Greetings icingfish and welcome to the forum!

The errors/warnings related to hoard and fbsdmalloc can be ignored. It's outdated technology and not required by OpenFOAM.

As for the "-liberty" problem, you're missing a package in Debian... but I can't remember which is it. Either way, check if you have all of the following list of packages are installed in your Debian system: Building OpenFOAM1.7.0 from source post #4 and onward

Best regards,
Bruno

Thank you，Bruno！
I'll try your suggestion.

now，I know the only missing package in Bruno‘s post is binutils-dev. I install it and go throw another try......

Thank you so much, Bruno!
 

The installation done!
Bruno's right!
